I would rather go after JJ Barea than Luke Ridnour (if both are in the offering).

I think the team needs someone like Barea more. Barea gives more dribble penetration and playmaking whereas Ridnour is more of a setup guard.

It might depend on if you see a difference on defense, especially if the guy is on the floor at the same time as Bradley.  (I don't know who is better.)  Also, if you want a guy who can start at the beginning of the season and slide into a bench role, who is a better fit might be the guy who is better at providing minutes as an occasional two-guard.

If that isn't a factor, I think I like Barea more than Ridnour based on Barea probably being the better three-point shooter.
