re: Eric Gordon increasing workload, could be closing in on a possible return

This doesn't really deserve its own thread but there was an article about Luke Babbitt being on top of the NBA leaderboard in 3PT percentage

LINK

While the 3PT percentage is impressive the most interesting thing I took from it was this quote:

quote:

“Obviously we have a solid core with Jrue, Anthony, Omer (Asik) and Tyreke,” Babbitt said of his fellow starters. “That small forward position needs to come in and be solid, not try to do too much, not try to take over the game. Just be solid, defend and knock down shots.”

1) Babbit does not include EG in the "core"...maybe thats just because he's hurt right now either way I found it interesting

2) I'm glad Babbitt sees the role that needs to be filled by either him or someone else (preferably someone else). Sometimes I feel like our coaches cannot see that Jrue, EG, Reke, AD, & Asik on the floor at the same time is a cluster. At least we know someone gets that we need 3&D guys. Lets hope the situation resolves itself.

With all that being said, when EG does come back I hope we see either him or Reke coming off the bench.

Gordon/Asik & Anderson/Evans >>>> Anything involving Asik/Evans

It's pretty clear that this is what needs to happen. I think the biggest problem is getting Reke to buy in. He obviously was not happy in that role last year.

I just spoke to Eric Gordon and he plans to return to full-team practices on Sunday. He said he won't need much practice time before playing
