If Paul George can play excellent defence against Derrick Rose, which other small guards are going to cause him problems, exactly? I love that our SG is 6’10.

I have a feeling Lance will emerge as the slasher/scorer/”create his own shot” player Larry was seeking in Crawford and Mayo. Total gut feeling, but the guy’s got a lot of upside if he keeps his head on straight, which is a BIG “if.” At this point, skip the expensive acquisitions, start Paul, give Lance and Rush and Hill more opportunities, and save the cap space for next summer

George is 6’10″ and shot under %30 from 3-pt range last year. I love the guy, and he’ll obviously get some minutes at the 2, but he’s a natural SF and I don’t think he should be playing 30 minutes a night at SG. Smaller guards will cause him problems.

Brandon needs to find a new team… I think he’s probably got some of the most potential of any player on the team, but he almost seems completely disconnected. Maybe being under Vogel for a full season will bring out some sort of passion in him, but I don’t see it happening.

Why would Rush start? We have George at SG, and I’m assuming Hill is the back-up at both guards, with maybe Jones, Price and Stephenson after that.

Crawford is not actually any good anymore but I hope we are not going into this season with Rush as the starting SG.
