I like Crutcher - I do. And it's only been one game - so I'm not ready to give any kind of final assessment. But even before the season began I thought it was curious how hard AG was pursuing a PG if he had confidence that the JC's could hold down the spot for the next two years.

If Crutcher can play the 2, I don't see a problem and see the need and advantage. We have plenty of 3 and 4s. The only other need would be another 5. But I like the fact that we can have many combo PG/SG types. Gives you a lot of versatility. Especially late in a game when trying to hold a lead, when you need good ball handlers and FT shooters. An injury makes it easier to move players from 1 to 2 or 2 to 1. If we would've had better combo guards the past 2 seasons, we might have been able to rest Scoochie more and had him perform even stronger.
