Would you start Pressey over AB?

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

No. More minutes (any minutes), for sure. AB hasn't been that bad... he can't hit air right now but other than that he's been okay (other than first half of game 1). I think AB and Craw should start together but it would mean sending some1 to the bench... I think Green needs Wallace in the lineup with him, he looks better when paired with him. I don't want GWall or Green playing the 4. Bass has played really well, until the 4th of last game, looking like no-pass that ppl named him. I think this is actually the lineup to go with and the only person I think can realistically be inserted w/o putting Green or GWall on the bench is Sully instead of Bass to get another good passer into the game (KO isn't ready yet).

Who here actually thinks Pressey will be in the league in 3 years?

I wouldnt' count on it.  At least Bradley will be coming off someone's bench.  Pressey will be playing in Europe or the D-League.

I'm going to mull this one over, but right now I'm working on an article about whether Nate Wolters and Michael Carter-Williams is going to start at the point for the East all-star team. After that, I'm going to give this one some hard thought.

The whole deal is wrong.
The idea s to develop players

I don't see the point of wasting time developing Avery into something he is not ....a point guard

Develop AB as shooting guard .....use those minutes to help him play his best position well.

Play all of Presseys minutes at point and GIVE him most of AB 's point guard minutes , to share with Crawford.

AB at point guard ,  makes me cringe nearly as bad as Bass /Sully combo .

If Avery has long-term success in this league, I see it at the point guard position.  He's too small to play SG.  He's an awful offensive player.  He's a defensive specialist who will play PG by default.  He likely will be a guy off the bench, but I could see him in the Derrick Fisher role for some contender.  Just some dude who plays hard defense and brings the ball up the court. The ball will flow through the superstar scorer.

I disagree. AB showed his ability to guard bigger shooting guards taking on the likes of D-Wade in the playoffs in 2011. He thrived playing alongside Rondo, ultimately causing Ray Allen to hit the road. While he might be only 6'2", there hasn't been any proof that he can't play the 2. There has been proof of his inability to run the point however.

If Bradley is relying on playing point guard to be successful in the NBA he might as well quit now.

He'll be a fine backup PG.

I would play Pressey.   Pressey is the logical choice for back up point guard.  Give Pressey some time to get used to playing the NBA game. When Rondo returns AB should be playing WITH him, not backing him up. Bradley is much more valuable as a 2, playing his excellent full court defense and occasionally cutting to the basket or finding his corner shot.
