    Sounds good to me. It worked well in 1977 for us. I don't think we necessarily want to see ET dominating the ball on offense. He just needs to help initiate the offense.

    My main concern the last few years has been teams trapping Dame. CJ was an upgrade over Wes in helping out, but the loss of Nic at SF was an issue against some teams. Two good ball handlers on the court is essential, but having the ability to have three without losing size is so much better. I did not want to have to rely on Plumlee to be that 3rd guy.

    Rubio is still my choice for the Shaun Livingston role.

    Re: Turner - good call on the '99 Pippen comparison.

    Turner + Crabbe == better version of Iggy + Livingston

    People ask why preseason games, and why so many? This is why.
