Ok ill get real...name me one SG at the veteran minimum that can make an impact on this team???
Please enlighten me..DUDE
We have 3 point guards and 1 SG so it only makes sense to save the one SG on the bench in J.R. You need to spread the minutes for the point guards and we should expect all 3 to get minutes every game.
We used all of our assets on Camby and Felton. AS of right now we are going to wait until Shump gets back to refill the hole at SG and in the meantime, MOST LIKELY I can see Kidd being used at the 2 because of his size as a 6'4 guard that is older and will guard SG's easier than quicker PG's.
Wear down Kidd? This isn't a 66 game season with back to back to back games. Kidd will be fine as long as he doesn't play 40 min a game. He said he expects to play 20-30 min and that is exactly what he will play. Maybe a few times he will have to play more until Shump gets back.
Prigioni is going to get spot minutes so Kidd doesn't play too much and you know J.R is getting over 20 min a game since Woodson loves him.
So right now, YES I see Kidd possibly starting at the 2....if you don't start him at the 2 then you would have a bench backcourt of Prigioni and Kidd....I would rather have J.R off the bench with a PG since J.R is more suited off the bench so he can fill up his stat sheet when the stars are sitting and/or too tired to be as aggressive on offense.
Marc Berman also reported that Felton was promised a starting role on the team.
Kidd should start with the star players and J.R should come off the bench....so it makes sense having a lineup of:
Felton
Kidd
Melo
Amare
Chandler
damn a shooting guard who impact our team at the vet minimum
Raja Bell
Deshawn Stevenson- if released
Mickael Pietrus
Kelenna Azubuike- if he recovered fully from that injury
Terrence Williams- wont got more than the min. because of his attitude problems
