The same role they had envisioned for Tyreke

No they had the "Manu Ginobili/James Harden in OKC" role envisioned for Tyreke(talking about how bad idea this was is for another thread). If you want to be technical, you can call that the third guard off the bench, because it isn't a starter, but that role is completely different than what Gravy does. They envisioned him coming off the bench and feasting on other teams subs but also taking the place of whatever random arse SF we started, once we got down to the final 5-6 minutes of the game. Gravy would never be viewed as that. The original plan may have never been for him to start but he certainly was brought in to be apart of the finishing group. Your typical third guard(Gravy) is not utilized that way.
