I am glad everyone is on the AB bangwagon. I was one of the few that screamed in delight when I heard his name on draft night. Keep it up !
I would like to see a guard rotation of Skip/Brooks/Francis. We got the shooter in Brooks so we could use another penetrating guard that can create plays. The more guys that can create shots for themselves and others, the better.

It's not that Francis needs the ball all the time, he needs to be paired with a playmaking guard. Not a ball dominating guard.
Right now comparing Steve to Aaron Brooks isn't even close. It's not even remotely fair. Francis is injured and I believe he needs surgery to return to form. If he needs surgery, I'd say get it done now. Sit out the rest of the season to recover and then get back into shape over the summer. Come back next year strong.
brooks is a far more efficient scorer and decision maker than francis. there's no way francis/alston or francis/brooks would work better than alston/brooks.
