V-Span didnt get much hype at all. He made ALOT of mistakes during the preseason now that I think about it. Your probably thinking about Novak aka SuperNova aka Novakain. He'll get some playing time but it'll take a while to enter JVG's rotation.
This NBA thing is no circus. You can't just put somebody on the show whenever you feel like it. Trust Geff Jan Vandy.
Have patience there, young grasshopper. Vspan will get his chance when the game situation permits, but for now Rafer is still the main guy at the point.
i personally think that head should start. with rafer shootin 38% from 3 and head shooting 52%, this should be a no brainer. The people who disagree will say head isn't a true point, but lately T-mac has been taking that responsibility. head is a better defender, more athletic and has been lights out. He really has outplayed Alston this season and should be rewarded.
Except Head is not only not a true point, he looks lost when he is asked to run the point for spurts. Starting him at PG would be a disaster, just like starting Wesley at PG when Alston was injured last year.
this is a ridiculous thread. V-Span take over for Alston? Why is there still no love for Alston on this board? He's been clutch so far...I wouldn't put anyone ahead of him at point.
nba is 82 games. Sooner or later someone's going to go down. Then players like Head and Novak are goinga start seeing minutes.
however both head and alston dont provide that spark that the rox so desperately need and head and alston will sooner or later start missing horribly like last season............
I think Alston is playing great - If he wasn't these types of threads would be out of Control !!! Vspan is a fan favorite waiting to happen. Any player who plays with that type of intensity and passion is going to be LOVED by the fans. So actually - given the fact that these type of threads are far and few between - It actually makes a very positive statement toward the way Alston is playing.
We are 5-2, with two victories against the two teams that were in last year's finals. And some of you want to mess with the rotation more... I just hope we can compensate for Chuck Hayes' energy and aggressiveness. He's like RyBo, but with skills and talent
Have you considered that quite the opposite might be true: Head is shooting threes at a 52% clip because he is not a starter and get to play when some have already had the edge taken off their game?
