Mo also provides something else, a layup line for the other team.What kind of question is that? You need scoring and playmaking off the bench and Mo provides that in spades.

I get this, but if everyone is healthy (if that ever happens...) who do you play him over? GS tends to play a second unit of Livingston-Barbosa-Iggy-Ezeli, where Livingston and Barbosa get consistent minutes, with occasional use of other guys. If we have everyone healthy we could run out a second unit of Delly-JR-RJ-TT-Andy, which is a solid unit, with a said scorer (JR), and with the potential to be exceptional at ball movement. Obviously Mo would still play in that situation, but he wouldn't be a consistent part of the rotation.Mo will definitely play. He was supposed to the backup guard not the guy assigned to Lowry. His defense wont be exposed nearly as much by second string guards and there will be times when you cant buy a bucket and you need someone who can put the ball in the hoop. Think of Barbaso vs Livingston in the way the Warriors used both of them.

Love how it took maybe 5 games for people to realize this guy is like Brett favre
Can sure score but keeps both teams in the game
Remember in the mo signing thread people mentioned his play making like it was awesome
I chuckled, I knew the games would do the talking
I liked the signing because I liked the idea of him coming in off the bench and igniting the offense when we're really struggling like we did at points in the NBA finals.
If he was signed to be a starter and one of the guys we rely on to win a title, I wouldn't have thought THAT was awesome. But he wasn't, and isn't. He's a situational back-up ball handler who can shoot the ball. Not a starter and not one of the most important guys on the team,

When you short your all star point guard and your back up pg, your third best pg its not going to be able to pull up the weight on a regular basis. And to be honest, what mo has done so far hes been consistent and doing his part. Even at full strength mo should see at least 10 to 15 min a game he would be an instant spark.Mo's defense is absolutely atrocious and he cost us that Toronto game, letting Lowry get into the lane at will. I don't hate the guy but I do look forward to seeing him at the end of the bench when we are at full strength.
Putrid in every sense of the word defensively, he's almost unplayable. His play making has been awful too, how many stupid passes can you throw to TT.
Hmm...he would be a roster upgrade in that we'd get another ball-handler, and a sort of creator. I don't think he'll stay ahead of Delly in the rotation, though as the season progresses.
Where does Mo fit in? If we do bring him in, he can be an insurance piece but I doubt he'll play consistent minutes since his defense is terrible. The defensive units were so successful last year that I doubt we'll go away from.
He is such a great shooter and natural scorer but so bad at everything else, like the polar opposite of Delly.
