Jeff McInnis Our New Starting PG

[dnbman]

My wife, who has very little knowledge of the situation, was asking why "that guy" that guy was in the game. She said, "he doesn't do anything."

Some things are just obvious.

Actually, I have love for McInnis. I think he is in important part of our roster. I just don't think he should start nor get anywhere near starters' minutes.

He was the only starter with a minus +/- at -6. Meanwhile Carroll was +11. I hate +/- for basketball, but it's an interesting note.

Put McInnis on any other NBA team and he wouldn't be getting anymore than 10 minutes a game. Maybe not even that. When Mcinnis is on the floor it basically a 4 on 5 because he helps us in no way. That should tell you something. Something like, HE SUCKS!

Felton will never become a true PG if he always has his coach doubting his abilities. Play Felton 35 minutes at the point and have McInnis back-up for no more than 10. It's that simple.

the one thing mcinnis does do is free up felts for his time as a 2 guard. And with felton playing there it gives us an extra shooter who doesnt have to create for themselves.

Makes me vomit a bit. Mcinnis is pathetic. I can't stand watching players continually driving on him.

Remember when McMinus shut down Redd and a few others and people were saying "great to have him. He's our best on ball defender"?

Man, how things change!!!

I was initially skeptical of Ohara's dislike for Felton, and defended Ray in the past, but now I am starting to come around and agree with Ohara that Ray is not the answer at PG. Two different coaches have made him a 2 guard, and it is borderline ABSURD that McInnis is our starting PG. I always support the ex UNCers, but Jeff is a role player at best!

Vincents moves are also questionable to say the least. I cant beleive he is giving Jeff more playing time than Nazr. A couple months ago Vincent was crying for another big man, and now he has one and chooses to sit him. I also found it funny to read how Vincent is making excuses for the 10-18 record (losing "40 pts of offense" with Ammo and May), instead of looking at the lineups he is putting out there.

In addition to needing a good C (long term, Nazr is a temporary solution), I think we could use a pass first, unselfish PG. Ray is actually having a decent season, and far from our biggest problem, but he doesn't seem comfortable as our primary facilitator. I think Ray certainly has a place on this team, and could be very productive at the 2 as on offensive sparkplug, but to have McInnis as our starting PG is ridiculous.

Confusion abounds here in Bobcat land. My oh my. Like I said on other Threads, Ray is just not getting the hang of the PG role. This does not bode well for his future as a PG. It also indicates to me that he may very well be used as trade bait if things don't change for the better real quick. Heck, we may see both he and Okafor on the blocks.
