McMillan on Tuesday seemed primed to make his fourth major lineup change of the season, which would involve moving Rudy Fernandez back to the second unit and inserting rookie Jerryd Bayless into the starting shooting guard spot.
"I have to sleep on it," McMillan said
After Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, McMillan said he thought moving Fernandez into the starting lineup to cover for Roy had thrown off the rhythm of the second unit. Also, he figures Bayless -- who did not play meaningful minutes until Roy's injury -- will be under less pressure to perform while playing with the starters rather than the reserves. Bayless is 1 for 14 from the field in the three games since moving into the rotation.
"Our bench has done some good things for us this year, but right now they haven't been able to score and be consistent with scoring or just being productive," McMillan said. "With Rudy being in that (starting) lineup, it takes a key option out of that group. So you look at everything and you try to make some adjustments or do something to give you that balance so you can get production from both groups."..........
..........McMillan said another change under consideration is moving small forward Travis Outlaw to power forward, a position at which Outlaw flourished last season because of his quickness and mobility. But by the end of Tuesday's practice, nothing seemed settled.
"We're just ... we're not ... you have to ... it's a search, man," McMillan said.........
