"...Point guard:
Because the Raptors don't have what Butch Carter calls a traditional point guard, the coach is talking about turning a weakness into a strength by playing the athletic, 6-foot-8 Tracy McGrady there as a kind of point-forward. The decision would allow McGrady to post up smaller guards and help solve the jam of bodies at the off-guard and small forward positions. But it also suggests that Alvin Williams hasn't progressed as hoped. Muggsy Bogues is viewed as the backup in any case..."
I had a feeling they would go this route to get McGrady his minutes.
