JR Smith has more offense to offer as a SG but he simply shoots too much for the team chemistry to work. At this point, I'd settle for Shump who is work in progress and should get better over time.
Theres nothing wrong with JR Smith shooting....his jumpshot always been good..can slash and drive...one of the quickest 6"6 guys you can find in the NBA. He's more of a 3pt threat than anyone at SG....its obvious to start him, he'll take pressure off Lin.

I don't really agree with this I think it adds more pressure to Lin in the starting lineup. Lin already has to worry about feeding Melo and Amare I think thats one of the main reason he looks so tentative to start games adding Smith to the starting lineup just takes more away from his game and makes him think theres another guy I have to constantly make sure gets touches.
Plus JR brings a nice spark off the bench
I'd rather have Shump and Davis as the starting back court
Nope.
JR Smith spreads the floor. Shumpert likes to slash, but it clutters the offense.
I don't think you understand...
A spaced out floor = best for Amare and Lin. Amare disappears when you have 3 guys producing in the paint or iso. Lin turns the ball over and has to stop his dribble.
JR Smith is BY FAR the best option at SG. Spread the ball out...avoid turnovers..keep the ball moving.
