Would a starting lineup with Tyreke at PG and Jrue at SG work?

I'm not as knowledgeable when it comes to the fundamentals of basketball as most of you chaps. I really never got into bball until around the cp3 era. Anyways, I think we all believe tyreke has proved he should be a starter on this team but seems to do his best work as a ball dominant pg. Jrue is a much better shooter than Reke more fitting of a SG. If we can somehow move EG or if monty gets the balls to bench him could this lineup prove successful? Would jrue be able to succeed in this scheme or does he have to be at the point to truly do his best work?

I think Tyreke and Jrue could work interchangeably at the 1/2. Jrue is a good enough shooter to play the 2 sometimes and gives us the ability to switch it up. I just hope it's obvious EG needs to be coming off the bench at this point.

Sure. They'll both take turns initiating the offense, regardless. And Jrue will still guard the opposing PG, Tyreke the opposing SG.
We saw some of this the few times they got to play together

So you're a bandwagon fan?
But to answer your question, I think the combination can be interchangeable and definitely work. Just hopefully this sends EG to the bench.

I don't really see why it matters, given that our offense usually consists of the PG handing it to the other guard to run the offense right when he crosses half court.

I think a 2 guard starting lineup or Jrue and Reke would/has worked great. It isn't about PG vs SG, just that they are the 2 ball handlers on the court and the offense is facilitated through them. That's all that really matters. I think in today's NBA the labeling has got to stop. None of our best 4 players fit into any of the 5 traditional roles, so why try to define them that way?

Yes
Although really, they would just be two combo guards on the floor at the same time.

Yes... a two PG line-up can work. I don't understand why the Pelicans don't try to run the floor. You guys have the perfect team for it.
Many good/great 3-point shooters, and a big man who is thin who can run the floor like a guard. Davis would beast on the fastbreak and the shooters you guys have would be raining 3's all game.

I gave you an up vote. Just because.

Downvoted that OP

It matters less the "title" of PG and SG. It matters more that they would probably play well off of each other. Holiday at PG and Evans at SG would yield identical results as Holiday will inevitably guard the shorter guy and Evans will guard the taller guy on defense. On offense, however, Evans driving ability certainly opens up Holiday's 3 point shot, or when the defense doesn't cheat, Holiday's ability to drive the lane himself on the kickout and go for the floater or to the rim. EG+Holiday was far inferior to Tyreke+Jrue in the advanced statistics. The team spaces better with and Jrue has more room to operate with a true slash fiend like Tyreke on the floor. EG just doesn't bring that unstoppability on the drive like Evans does
