At Michigan State Valentine appeared to be one of the best passers in College. Kinda thought he was too un-athletic to be anything but a PG, in the Big Baller mode where his size is his advantage, or at least a Livingston.
I'm not sure if this is a Hoiberg issue as well, but he seems useless as a SG/SF where he gets abused on the other end. With Wendel Carter behind him maybe he can steer NBA pg's well enough and help recover...I don't know...I guess its Blakeney/Payne or...
they are going to have to play
Lavine at PG, -Holiday-Parker-Portis-Carter
At least you got 3 defenders and a size/length advantage at PG without giving up quickness/speed.
Payne/Blakeney/Archy are in for a long 6 weeks against the most difficult position in NBA.
Hutchinson had 4 rebounds...good to see some work for him.
Blakeny appears to be the only PG remotely athletic enough to compete against the top 20 NBA PG's.
I think you go young Jordan with Lavine and have him run an offense, if you have an actual offense Hoiberg. Call the Lakers about Rondo? I have no idea why they are taking Ball out of the line-up in favor of Rondo. Or Kuzma in favor of Stephenson.
Lebron up to his old shitty GM tricks I guess.
