When Jrue was an All Star, he was the lead guard surrounded by scrubs in Philadelphia.
When Tyreke is at his best, he is the lead guard surrounded by capable players that he feels confident kicking the ball to and not forcing up bad shots.
Ever since we've put our trio of guards together, we've been trying to figure out which guy should come off the bench -Tyreke or Gordon -and maybe the answer is Jrue.
Why would any coach take Tyreke off the ball with the way he's playing? Imagine the team we rolled out against the Mavs with a former All Star PG coming off the bench.
And you could still finish games with Tyreke, Gordon, and Jrue, or with Qpon and whichever of the 3 is playing best.
Off the bench, Jrue would be a beast kicking to Ryno and QPon and harassing some team's back up PG. He could also be the aggressive Jrue that we all know and love on the offensive end.
I'll let stats guys tell me what our defensive rating has been without Jrue, compared to with him, but from watching how the team plays, I see no reason why Jrue couldn't come off the bench and finish games and still bring his defensive intensity.
