    I say Cat also,but if we had a veteran freaking point backing up Stevie,we wouldn't even be talking about this.Good question RR.It will be interesting to see the responses to this one.

    I say Bryce Drew. Cuttino might be far better than Bryce, but Cat generally looks to score more than pass. Also, we need his scoring off the bench.

    Let Bryce start. He's been playing well of late. It'll be good for his confidence.

    I have to go with Mobes. He has the most talent and mirrors Stevie more closely. I don't think Bryce is still anymore than a back-up right now. If Hakeem were here and we were doing the post thing all the time then we could get away with Bryce starting ala Matt Maloney.

    I will be surprised and disappointed if Bryce starts.

    No doubt in my mind Bryce will start. Especially with the way he has been playing of late. Rudy loves the kid cause he takes directions well and Cat is more shoot first than anything. When in the heck are we going to make the swap at small forward. Williams doesn't deserve to start. It's frustrating to watch him play now days.

    Does it really matter who starts?

    I think you guys are asking the wrong question...Do the minutes and who's in at the end of the game matter more?

    I would like to see Bryce start, because he's been shooting better as of late and because we need Mobley's energy off the bench.

    Regardless of who starts, I do see them both significant minutes at point.

    Let's just hope that when Mobes is in there as PG he passes the ball!!!

    I guarantee you that if we start:

    Drew
    Mobley
    Anderson
    Barkley
    Cato

    we will win this game.

    Now we've painted ourselves into a corner. Because of no action to bring in a decent veteran backup at point, Drew will start. No way can you not have that fire power off the bench Cattino reps. Can Sam Mack be far behind this latest TWIST ? ( If only for increased offensive reasons ? )

    Although Bryce will probably start, Mobley is a better choice. Ya can't think too much about sparks off bench being undermanned. You got to play better players more and as long as possible, with Drew starts he will play 20+ minutes.
