It's gonna happen. I love Keith, dude is an absolute beast and a baller, but Tone is just better. He's longer, more athletic, a better shooter, faster, and just a more complete offensive weapon. I also don't think Keith would care if he came off the bench. He just wants to play ball and win. He's the perfect role player. He'll bring experience, talent, and leadership off the bench. Not many teams have that.

Blakeney may start by the end of the year, but his biggest weakness is lack of strength. He will need to put on some weight to avoid get bossed around a bit. Still think we'll play with 3 guards, so it won't matter.

I mean he's playing the 2 and only the 2, most likely. He won't have to be THAT strong to do that. What he lacks in strength he makes up for in length and athleticism. People don't realize how athletic, and how dinamic of a scorer he is. If Tim Q. And Garrett Temple can start and not have bad problems with their strength/weight, then Tone will be ok. Hornsby probably starts at the beginning, but Tone most likely starts by mid season. Keith is a great shooter, hustles, and plays hard non stop, but he can be out of control when he dribbles and attacks the basket.

This is a good problem to have the talent to not know who will be our starters.

Also people need to watch Blakeny's documentary on youtube for sure.
