    Not a terrible idea, but you want your shooting guard to, you know, shoot well. Posey could guard the opposing 2. EG is quick enough to stay with a 3.

    No way they bench Mobley at this point.

    What has Eddie Griffin ever done to make anyone think that he can play small forward? :confused:

    At this point, I want nothing more than Eddie Griffin's ass on the bench. The guy can't shoot, and his offensive game has not improved a lick since he was drafted over a year ago. If cutting back his minutes and taking away his starting job is what it might take to motivate him to get his ass in gear and develop some post moves other than a turn around jumper that gets blocked 20% of the time, then I say do it.

    lol.......that's right. Then there would be no backup 4. Uhh yeah....Terence Morris and Glen Rice. :(

    That will not work out.

    But Griffin used to play 3...he and Mo Taylor can rotate and switch off occasionally...

    But then if you look at that....no one can really shoot from behind the arc. Only Steve...but he's the one with the ball.

    They could try it...but it's not going to work.

    Griffin neither has the handles or the shot to be a 3.

    Hmm, maybe we could try putting Cato in at the 4.
