Who do you want at PG?

[jazzer89]

Pretty debated topic around the site, there probably is a thread about this but i couldnt find one. So who do you want moving forward. I personally see no reason why Augustin cant step in and start. We can save ourselves some money and let felton walk, may too while were at it.
I really like Augustin (even though i want curry) and i think he has the tools to be a great starting PG. He can continue to work on defense, that will improve in time.

Draft a future SG and we are set to make the playoffs.

Thoughts...

Is there a "whoever does best in the preseason" option?

Til DJ can defend Felts has to be our starter.

[jazzer89]

really, you wouldnt sacrifice a little defense for a much better offensive weapon. We were dead last in that category werent we?

i dont know, the one thing everyone has overlooked concerning DJ's defense is that he never started with the core of bell, wallace, diaw, and okafor. i feel they could somewhat make up for his "inability"

there was a guy on the "Is DJ our future?" article that said it best. His name is roy, maybe one of you guys is him but he said:
"The fact that you can debate who is better, Raymond or DJ doesn’t say much for Raymond. DJ is a rookie, so there are going to be growing pains. Raymond has been in the league long enough to shoot better than 39%. I’m sorry, but this team not good enough to have a PG who is such an offensive liability."

He was only a rookie, was felton such a good defender his rookie season I dont think so thats why he wasnt starting right away. Look there is no doubt Augustin is lightyears ahead of felton on the scoring part. Felton can probably pass a little better and he defends better, but he has had 4 years to do that. in 4 years you dont think Augustin will be a better PG than Felton is now in his career?

I say let Augustin start, use the money use save on felton to go add a couple of role players like Atlanta did and we got a great team going into next season. Letting DJ start also allows his development to speed up.

Admittedly he has some room for improvement on the defensive side of the ball, but anybody that can shoot the ball like he can needs to be getting significant minutes in the lineup.

my 2 cents.

By the way, Welcome to BCP jazzer89

I pretty much agree

Just one thing I want to comment on is the whole "Rookie player vs a 4 year vet" comments I see when I read any debate about this very topic from guys that continue to sleep on Felton and praise DJ14. IMHO it's pretty much irrelevant DJ showed signs no doubt but Felts was clearly one of our better players ALL year. Only to be outplayed by Diaw pre J-Rich trade so I don't see what you all are basing it on. If DJ as a sophomore becomes CP3 v2 outstanding but at the moment it's Feltons job until DJ becomes a significantly better team leader and not just a better scorer.
