    Default R. Felton or DJ Augustin??

    After Watching the last two games of the preseason and observing felton disappointingly the past seasons, i would have to say D.J. should get the nod as our pg starter. Nothing againsty Ray, but except experience, all positives go to dj, speed, passing and penetration. And if there are teams out there who would trade a solid PF for felton, i think we should trade him.

    This is funny because I was just thinking to myself that if Ray doesn't start looking better in the next few preseason games, folks are going to start the "DJ -vs- Ray" debate.

    OK Folks, have at it!!!!

    I don't think two games in to the preseason is much to go on, especially since neither has been especially great.

    That being said, I still expect more from Felton. I understand why Augustine hasn't been that impressive.
    SOMEONE will pay for THIS!

    Ditto.

    Funny how the two guys who worked out all summer (Felton/Swish) seem to be struggling so much. That being said, this is PRE season and all the guys are trying to deal with information overload. The PG in a Larry Brown offense has a lot on his plate...and even though DJ's shooting numbers (NOT his assist/TO numbers) are better neither seem to be doing so well with what their main role is.

    That being said DJ does seem to be holding his own, enough to where a comparison comes close to being a "wash". I don't see Felton not hitting any of his first 7 shots as such a big deal (are we shipping Hammer off too for going 0 for 6 or for Swish shooting in the high 20s?); however unless Felton can separate himself in taking control of the team then it is DJ's to take.

    DJ is going to be good, and I feel at some point this season will in fact take over the starting PG role. That said, he wont be ready at the start of the season. Ray's experience will make him the better starter right now. Remember, CP3 had a not so spectacular and blazing start, but by the end of year 1 people knew he was going to be awesome. I'm not saying DJ is going to be another CP3, but he will exceed anything Ray has the ability to become. That is just my feeling on how good DJ will become. But for the first of the season, DJ has to watch Ray and learn from his good and bad play and use that to become the leader of this team later.

    I would like to see Ray stay until he shows he can't perform. I don't really see how PRESEASON is enough to make people change their minds on him.

    Wait until the season starts, give him a few games, and see how he does. If he plays badly--bring DJ in.

    I'm not going to just give up on him during the preseason.

    But the preseason is just proving alot of our thoughts on him that we have already had. We are not suprised that Felton is doing bad.....I kind of expected it :{

    ITS PRESEASON. nothing that happens from right now until the first regular season game means anything. nothing. For all we know, this team could be filtering offense to Sean May so that he can catch up. or they could be slowing everything down to try and maximize their learning ability. its preseason.. a time to test stuff, a time to get good live game film in situations that dont count.

    Felton should absolutely not be benched until he has been thoroughly beaten out by DJ when games actually count.. end of thread.

    Thank you. My exact sentiment. Couldn't have said it better myself
