Well this team really needs a shakeup and a change needs to be made at the literally anemic PG position which has if anything gotten worse then last year both in terms of offense and defense.
Hughes after what I thought a very good start, particulary scoring 20+ to complement has really fallen off. Some posters have suggested that's mainly becuase we try to get others involved in the offense.
My solution to really make this team understand that you mean business is bring Jackson into starting linuep and put in Hughes as the starting PG. If you want plug Newble into the starting lineup if you're too scared about putting in an unproven player like Luke in there. Frankly with Lebron again having to be the playmaker 100% of the time, having Hughes be the PG will let him see the ball early and set up his game. In addition the defense at the PG will solidfy. So we can finally get both offense and defense out of the staring PG position. In addition with Lebron being a great initiator Hughes won't have to worry about fully playing like a traditional PG on offense
With Luke his offense has been anemic but he's a far better distrubitor who will get the ball in Z and Lebron's hands unlike Snow and surprisnly has been an OK defender. If not stick Newble in there. He will at least get his nose dirty and give you 10 points which Snow is incapable of. I'm being dead serious here. Both Snow and D. Jones are decent players but only in a very limited roles. They are situational backups. Just like two years ago where Detroit used both M. James and Lindsey Hunter, two polar opposite too great affect off the bench. But Detroit had a star at PG in Billups so they could do that. Time to put at least our play with star like capablity at the PG position full time.
