    Quite a simple poll.

    I'd say AB is the go-to guy. Even though, statistically, he has been slightly weaker than Ariza, he has been the one initiating and controlling the offense.

    Brooks, definitely. He's a better shooter off the dribble and better range. If Trevor learns to finish strong though, then he could be that guy.

    both of them have higher % in both penetrationa and shooting, so it depends on the defense.

    Brooks is our go-to guy, but with the option to draw the defense and find the open man. This is on the same lines as Nash.

    Easiest poll ever. Ariza's been scoring a lot because he's been taking his open shots. Once teams wise up and cease leaving him so open all the time, his scoring average will drop.

    ... unless Brooks is that good. Brooks is the go-to guy PERIOD.

    our pg is Aaron Brooks, our go to guy is anyone who is particularly hot that night

    That being said, it will be successful for the team if they go to Ariza early in the game and get him involved, because AB can get his shot anytime he wants

    Brooks hands down.
    Ariza has been a great pass to scorer as of late.

    Ariza can't dribble dribble dribble then create his own shots most of the time,as a spot up shooter,he's definitely not reliable when the game is on the line.

    Ariza.


    Should be Brooks if Brooks has more confidence in himself.

    We don't have a set go-to guy. Ariza has been staring off games hitting everything, but Brooks, Scola, and Landry have gone on streaks too.

    Budinger and Andersen will have games where they are the go-to guy for periods of time, as well...

    Whoever is hot at the time is our go-to guy.

    This is a TEAM.

    Depends................In my opinion, If we are down we use Brooks since he's more of a 3 point threat, but if we are up we use Ariza because of his slashing and finishing ability. They are different players, entirely different players.

    I'll go with Brooks, has become more of a facilitator but still scores when he needs to.

    I always thought the facilitator role of Brook's game was missing last season. Now that he has added that to his scoring abilities he's gone from an average PG to a very good one.

    Exactly, he's averaging 8.3 assists which is currently 6th in the league. Seems like he worked on his game during the off season.
