    I love Beverley. I was one of the first ones to jump on his bandwagon. However, Brooks has a proven track record and playoff experience. He's still young at 28 and is only 2 seasons removed from his MIP season. So who do you think will be the primary backup to Lin as we get closer to the playoffs?

    Ever since watching Hoops Reality, I'm on the Beverly bandwagon!

    I apologize for spelling Beverley's name wrong repeatedly.

    I think Brooks will see a lot of time as the off-ball guard.

    Beverley for sure. He has an excellent 3 point shot and plays great defense.

    As much as you think a 3 pt shooting pg would be oh-so-great fit next to Harden, at the end of the day defense is what will determine minutes. And Beverley has it in spades.

    Beverley, well, except for the last game of the regular season, when Brooks starts and Lin is the primary backup.

    Bev at the 1, Brooks at the 2, swap on D. Not that tricky. Same with Harden and Brooks.

    I think Beverley has earned his time as the back up...he plays extremely hard on defense(although he does gamble a bit more than i would like)...

    Im excited to see our small ball line ups...its gonna be really exciting...Brooks and Lin(it will be extremely hard for opposing guards to stay in front of both guys), Beverley and Harden, Brooks and Harden, and obviously Lin and Harden...

    He's 3rd string PG but may serve as backup SG at times. I'm almost 100% sure this will be the case.

    I'll be surprised if Brooks isn't finishing games pretty soon.

    I will wait to see how Brooks performs and meshes with our current roster before voting.
