    I don't see KPJ as the long term PG. I think many agree just by reading this forum.

    Can Tate be a PG?
    1.) He can make plays similar to what Draymond does
    2.) His outside shot is suspect but at least he won't do any step back or forced shots like KPJ
    3.) He is a better passer than KPJ
    4.) He drives with a better decision than KPJ
    5.) No more dribble,dribble,dribble

    Another reason to make Tate as PG is to trade KPJ. If we retain KPJ, we would probably lose Tate. We have a lot of forwards. Imagine if you take Wemby then he would play less. You can also lose KJ. Even if you retain KJ, KJ can't play PG. So the draft will be a deciding factor. If you take Wemby, do you think he would be happy playing with KPJ? If you take Scoot, you definitely have to trade KPJ.

    I like Tate better and he is a bargain. He is a better player as well. If you put him at PG, then you have Jalen, Jabari,Sengun and Wemby/Scoot. We will definitely lose Gordon one way or another. If you take Scoot then he can be the small forward. If you take Wemby, then he could be the PG. So Tate is really flexible. I don't want to see Tate go to the Warriors if Draymond leaves.

    The bottomline is we have to retain Tate. We just have to lose KPJ.

    He is already sort of PG.

    This thread title didn't say to start him though.....

    Can he defend with success against a point guard throughout the whole game?

    He'd be much better than KPJ anyway.

    I don't know. Can we try an actual PG at PG? This whole throw anybody at the PG is out of control here. And we wonder why this team looks like such a joke. Would any other NBA team even entertain this foolishness?
