This argument is simply not thought out well. Rafer Aslston and Luther Head can suck worse than ANY PG in the league and no matter what JVG gives them minutes. Fans then argue "they must be better than Spanoulis see." Meanwhile Spanoulis is allowed about 2 turnovers or missed shots then he is benched permanently and a 5-10 midget SG NBDL player is put over him in the rotation.............to which fans clamor then "see proof Spanoulis sucks donkey balls otherwise how could he possibly not play when Alston is stinking it up, Head is a HORRIBLE point guard and he can't even rate over Lucas a guy who dreams of one day being good enough to be a legit 3rd point guard." In other words people who can't even see what is wrong here will never even grasp the question at hand. But I do notice that Nachbar thread in NBA dish grows quieter by the day, save for the occasional die-hard like SamFisher.
im not arguing that b/c luther and rafer play means that they must be better than billy. these guys bring assets. Rafer, controls the ball. takes care of it fairly well. solid defender (especially team defense). Luther. shooter. vspan does none of those things well. he may but i think people got overly excited by his play over the summer and forgot what billy really is...a project. i think he will be a very good player, but i dont think that time is now.
He already has more all around game than Alston, and is clearly way better of a point than Head. As for Lucas there is not one thing you could reasonably argue that would dictate to have him ahead of Spanoulis. So again the question is if Spanoulis really isn't ready why are the other 3?
