Do We Need Another Guard?

We got Josh Okogie, who is only 26, an fantastic on-ball defender and has shown an increasing ability to hit the three ball.

So right now it's Fred/Amen/Okogie/Reed/Holiday.

I think that's fine defensively going into the season. Not as much outside shooting as I'd like in the backcourt, but that may change with improvements from Amen, Reed, and possibly Okogie, and if we see a return to FVV's career average (37%).

 

deserves its own thread

 

My gut feeling is that we need one at the right price, but it's really too early to say. I wish "too early to say" had been a voting option. They don't need to decide immediately.

 

I think this front office are way over-rating Reed Sheppard's ability as the point guard. He has done nothing to show he can play that role consistently.

Yea, he has shown flashes against inferior competition, but even then it hasn't been consistent. It's going to be our major weakness going into next season but then again, Ime doesn't run proper offenses anyways so he'll probably just throw in two bigs and some wings and call it a day.

 

People are not going to like my vision, but i see them moving fred more to the bench,
letting amen run the point while Sheppard comes in to play Shoot guard

I run this alot in 2k, Amen and Reed take turns bringing up the ball, with Amen as the primary ball hander (PG)
and sometimes reed but usually reed learns how to play the point guard position but mainly he is going to be
in to shoot 3's at 2 (SG). Yep it works great. Also Fred and Amen taking turns at PG. Makes holiday way more expendable, but only
comes in like Tate, when people are in foul trouble etc... But i see the bench as Amen - Reed - Finley - Eason - Adams/Capela

 

Amen is the point guard/primary perimeter ballhandler of the future IMO, so it doesn't really matter that much. Main thing for Reed is he needs to hit outside shots and show he can play adequate defense.

 

We need Shane Larkin

 

Yeah, if only real games are played like 2K.

 

If only real GMs learned how to GM for real by playing 2K

 

Incoming BTG meltdown. I’ve been saying this since we drafted Amen.

 

It is something of a moot point because we can't actually add anyone* to the roster until about halfway through the 'salary season due to being hard-capped at the apron.
[*assuming 'anyone' is a player who would command vet minimum. We could add a rookie on the rookie minimum, but I don't really see the point - there won't be a guard out there who we know is a difference maker who isn't on a roster and is eligible to take that salary level]

So need another guard or not, we aren't able to get one unless we can shift salary.

 

Nah, at this point it's barely worth a chuckle when people say they want the SF to be the PG.

 

We need at least a shooting guard that can actually shoot. But other than that we have everything defensively.

 

I would love the final spot to go to De'Anthony Melton
Have him rehab this season and be a contributor the season after
Its essentially the Steven Adams experience, part 2

 

Jaesean tate

 

Are we talking about the Texans?

 

and a lifeguard who can actuality swim,
this team had Whitmore, would have been interesting to see if it would worked

 

Is there another kind?

 

of course
