Great game last night by Sasha. However, let's be real here. Someone wants to start him at the 2 guard? He is a 10th - 12th player on the bench who should see occasional minutes. Really occasional. If he is playing more than that, your team is likely in trouble. Again, tremendous effort last night, and that is what you hope to get from an end of the bench guy who has several years experience. But let's keep things in perspective.
I very much have things in perspective, I'm not saying start Sasha and give him the lions share of minutes at the 2. I'm suggesting start him for 4 to 5 minutes, and still have him finish with 8 to 12 minutes for the night depending on how he's playing, with Ray still getting his 30 or so minutes.
I think this would help improve our first quarter woes we've suffered from all season, by improving our defense/athleticism its obvious our starting unit lack, and also having Ray play against more fatigued players or even 2nd stringers.
I don't think its that bold of a suggestion.
