Can we seriously consider just benching Ish when everyone else gets healthy? Ish is playing lights out and we play great with him on the court. What does Cole give us that Ish can't, aside from championship experience?

This may be the last thing on earth I'm worried about at the moment.

Trade Gordon and move Jrue to SG.

Do you think it would be possible to Trade Jrue and keep EG at SG? Unless Jrue improves his 3 pt shot significantly I'd prefer to keep EG and just use the cap space in the offseason.

Cole is a better shooter and has more experience. Switch it up and ride the hot hand

Cole is a career 41% FG, 33% 3P shooter. The exact percentages Ish is shooting this season

Cole is a much better defender but I do like what Ish has done the past two weeks.

It'll be situational. One will outplay the other at some point.

I think they'll let Cole and Ish battle it out for the 4th guard spot.

Cole is a better defender and was a good shooter for the Pels last season.

If Jrue and Tyreke are both healthy, the Pels shouldn't need another ball handler.

So you're saying they will need another ball handler.

As much as Cole is a better defender, Ish is a better creator. If they start w/ Holiday/Gordon/Evans, Ish should certainly see time running the point. Stagger Holiday or Gordon to come back with Ish and you can keep pressure on teams all night long.

If they bring Evans off the bench, it might be hard for Ish. I don't see Evans/Ish working too well.

And he's really just a slightly better defender. It's not like Cole is Chris Paul

Ish has been playing so well with that first unit. I love how he finds that open 3 with Gordon and Ryno. Ish will give us options to stagger lineups. shite, let Holiday run with the 2nd unit sometimes with reke even

I say we keep both because all 3 of our starting guards have missed substantial time each season they've been with us. You can definitely balance cole and ish getting PT for right now.

His shooting percentages were low in miami but just watching him last year you can see he's a better shooter and a more confident shooter than Ish is. Ish rarely takes a mid range jumper and the ones I've seen him take were not that great. Ish penetrates very well though, almost at will
