What current player most resembles Danny Ainge?

So, here's my follow-up question.  Does it seem like some people in this thread think that Ainge was primarily a point guard?

I think he was a combo guard, leaning toward SG.

It's interesting that basketball-reference.com lists Ainge as a guard-forward.  Perusing the stats, when Ainge first started for the Celtics, it looks like Quinn Buckner and Tiny Archibald were the PG starters.  Later, Ainge started next to Dennis Johnson, a shooting guard who became a point guard.  When traded to Sacramento, he started next to Kenny Smith, who was clearly the PG there.  When he went to Portland, Ainge came off the bench but Danny Young seemed to be the main back-up point guard.  In Portland, Frank Johnson seemed to be the back-up point.

So, it appears that Ainge was mainly a shooting guard throughout his career.

Those celtics teams we didn't have a point guard.  We had two guards who did a bit of everything and a point forward, mr bird.

Kyle Korver

Looks wise maybe!  Player wise, Korver is a lot softer.

My memory of Danny as a PG was that he resembles more of a Hinrich-Manu type of player.

Hinrich with a great shot.  I don't see any of the slashing acrobatic Manu in Danny.  I don't remember Danny getting to the rim very often in the halfcourt like Manu does.
