    AB is undersized and his a shoot first pg! Name one team that has won a championship and had their point guard as their leading scorer? Or one that is really a shoot first point guard?

    We need someone who can create for others and make their teammates game much easier. I hope that the either the Jazz get the 1st pick in the draft and get Wall so we can grab Williams or the Hornets hand over the keys to Collison and deal Paul.

    We can also look overseas. When does Rubio or Lllul's contract end or can they accept a buyout and play here next season?

    AB needs to accept a Jason Terry like role of the bench. He is really a shooting guard in a undersized point guard's body!

    Can we trade him for Devin Harris? They may trade him if they draft John Wall.

    You really don't understand RA's offense at all, do you? There is no place in his system for a point guard who dominates the ball and creates for everybody else.

    Furthermore, you're incredibly ignorant about NBA history, apparently, because there have been several teams in this decade alone who have won championships with high-scoring, score-first point guards.

    Brooks has the ideal skillset for playing off Yao.

    He is shoot first because Yao is out.

    You have to have a play maker that can penetrate the paint and find the open man. AB can't do that. He forces it when his shot's not falling.

    Once he starts getting frustrated he implodes and starts turning over the ball. What does that tell you?

    I hop Lull is getting ready.

    Say hello to Manu. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE THAT GUY.

    If you think AB is better than Parker at penetrating and finishing or finding the man in the paint then you are mistaken.

    ¿?¿?

    Fisher and Parker are "real PGs". Actually Fisher is a smart player who knows what makes you win games, he knows the offense, the defense, has the experience and is a proven competitor at the highest level. A winner. Parker has the scoring talent as Brooks, but also much better understanding of the game, and is much more regular, solid and reliable than Aaron (in short, much better). Face it, he's a PG for a mediocre team. The perfect scoring PG who will "shine" on a mediocre team.

    Yep. Not to mention Martin. Brooks isn't our leading scorer and won't be next season. It'll go like this:

    1. Martin
    2. Yao
    3. Brooks

    Michael Jordan wasn't their Point Guard! He play the SG and SF!

    The Bulls championship teams had Paxson, Harper and Kerr as their starting PG and they were only their to distribute the ball, not shoot it the 1st chance they got!

    If AB's shot is not falling, he is a black hole on both ends of the floor. Unlike Lowry, he can't fall back on his defense to fill the void on the other end.

    We need to either trade Brooks in the offseason and get a real PG or trade Lowry for a real PG and bring Brooks off the bench.

    IMO you can contend with Brooks if the right pieces are setup around him which we should be able to provide HOWEVER if there is an upgrade available then you make that move. This offseason should see a ton of activate so I believe Morey will at least inquire on a few PGs that would be clear upgrades.

    BS. Do you just purposely ignore all of the great passes he distributes virtually every game? He's had several great drive and kicks tonight alone despite having a tough night with turnovers. Just last night he had 11 assists. ClutchFans: Where knee jerk happens. Where short memory happens.

    name them?

    This past decade, the only point guard I can think of that was high scoring was Parker, but he wasn't undersized like Brooks is.

    The flaw in those so called "not real" PGs is that they were surrounded by ridiculous talent and playmaking ability.

    The only model I see we can follow is the Magic by having Yao dominant inside and passing it outside since we have so many shooters...too bad they didn't win a championship.

    What are you talking about? You're just rambling random generalizations and making baseless comparisons.

    There is no typical PG mold for a championship team. Championship teams have had all sorts of different PGs, some far better than Brooks, others far worse. Its ignorant for you to judge Brooks this year, in this system, because next year, when we will be contenders, the system and his role will be much different.

    Absolutely. Someone has to distribute the ball. Be creative and find open men.

    Before, It was she-mac.
