I could be wrong, but i see this as the best situation for Terry. Personally, I think he's an excellent bench guy. Maybe even 6th man of the year good. But that's it. He's got a lot of energy, handles the ball pretty well, and can shot a bit.
Guess I'm missing something, but I just don't see him as a starting point guard an a championship team. To me he's more of a Lou Williams kind of guy.
I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
This is exactly how I see it. Unless he makes some major jump this year, off the bench suits him perfectly
Terry defends and has more than 1 hit point (Lue Will.)
Big difference in my book.
Have to disagree on the defense part. I thought he had a hard time staying in front of the guys he was guarding. He's a better off the ball guy, jumping lanes, steals, etc. While he's probably not as bad as Irving playing man on man, I certainly don't see it as his strength.
He is Kawhi compared to Lou.
Williams just lets guys score, with no resistance at all.
I think that Terry has a much better motor and physical ability than Lou.
The know-how will improve.
Okay, perhaps Williams wasn't the best comparison. My point is that some players, and in my opinion Terry is one of them, are just better suited to come off the bench. I just don't see the consistency or talent there to be a starter on a championship team. But I do see him being an energy kind of guy off the bench that a championship team needs. It's not a bad thing.
Again, it's just my perception and I've been wrong before. Pretty sure I will be again.
