The truth of the matter is we do not have a true point guard. Jrue was a SG in college, and Tyreke is Tyreke. The point guard position in the NBA is like a QB in the NFL. And we don't have one. Ish Smith is a borderline NBA player, but he looks like a Messiah because he's an actual point guard. I remember when the Saints got Kerry Collins and everyone was amazed by his spiral passes. We weren't used to seeing spirals. It's just sad.
The effort and energy is not there because no one is setting the pace. A good point guard controls the flow of the game.
I don't care who it is or how you do it, but get a bonafide NBA starting Pg. Get one of those, and we will quickly realize we have a lot of talented guys on this team. Don't get one and we will continue to flounder and yell about coaching, effort, one dimensional players, etc etc.
I am very uneasy about his injuries, but Ricky Rubio is one of the first to come to mind.
