    Assuming Gordon stays on the bench as 6th man, who starts if one of Harden/Paul sits out?

    If both sit out, do we just forfeit since we have no Point Guard?

    To think that i would start to miss the likes of Tyler Ennis this early in the season.

    We literally have no guard other than James/Paul/Gordon that can dribble the basketball.

    Biggest failure of Morray this season is not clinching Melo.
    Close 2nd is not getting a veteran backup Guard that can run the pick n roll at a competent level.

    yeah when prince luc has to regularly bring the ball upcourt, you have not satisfactorily fulfilled your GM duties.

    Stunned, given CP3 and EG's injury history, Harden is the only other play maker on the team. EG is more of a scorer than an point guard.
    Last season I was not happy we only had two true centers and one was injury prone, well we lost one in the playoffs and that caused problems. I really hope Morey has a plan to bring in a veteran point guard because I would not understand why he would go into the following year with a lack of depth in another position.

    Taylor has lost his spot IMO. He did ok in Summer league but that was against marginal players.

    Was very average to bad in Pre season.

    Monta If willing in the Lou Williams posistion would be perfect

    One thing I've noticed is the bench unit when Paul misses a game or I harden only has one person that can score the ball on their own and that's gordon

    We need another scoring guard because of injuries and having monta be a go crazy shooter would be perfect 10 minutes a night

    I think 4th guard is now Demetrius Jackson.

    He looked really explosive in warm ups at the game last night and looked decent in the limited minutes he got in the game.

    I remember Boston being fairly high on him.

    Cat Felder would be an upgrade over Taylor for sure.

    Oops meant Kay Felder. But would take Cat Barber too over Taylor.

    If your solution to losing Paul or Gordon is Taylor, it’s a loss anyway.
