Do they need a "PG?"


They need someone that can run a P&R without dribbling the ball off of their feet like they were Hornican Eric Gordon. They had some good analysis on the latest In the NO, saying part of Holiday's problems are 1) less space to work with swapping a corner boy for Cousins. 2) With no other guard threat, Holiday is getting a lot more help defenders coming at him. It makes sense, Buddy and Galloway both shot well enough to draw defenders and they've been replaced by a DLeaguer and Frazier.

I'm really not sure what I want to see next to Holiday. A SG that can create some like Fournier, or a PG that can shift Holiday to SG like Mills.

I like those two, or a guy like Nic Batum, who can allow Jrue to play PG on defense while playing more off ball on offense.

Right. That's not hard to find in 2017. The issue is defense, shooting, and ability to play off ball.

Either archetype works for me. But a ball dominant guy is not interesting to me. I would like to see them going more 4 out/1 in or 5 out letting Davis/Cousins facilitate and open up lanes to attack for guards. Keep the ball and players moving.

That's not easy to do on the fly.

For those that would be in favor of bringing in Rubio and sliding Jrue to the 2 (not sure if you were in favor of that), what do you think about possibly bringing in Elfrid Payton into the back court alongside Jrue? He can't shoot to save his life, but he can penetrate and run the pick and roll.
