    Would would you rather see backup Allen Iverson next season, Kevin Ollie or Louis Williams

    This position battle isn't as interesting or as important as the others. But, whoever backs up AI will have the responsibility to keep our momentum going and will have to be able to run the plays.

    Kevin Ollie did great last season as the AI backup. At times, Mo Cheeks paired Ollie alongside AI in the starting lineup. With the addition of Rodney Carney, via 2006 Draft, I think that AI will return to his role as the point guard. With that being said, Kevin Ollie is a veteran in this league. He has played with mulitple teams and seemed comfortable with the offense last season. He is a good veteran presence, and I feel more comfortable with him running the offense.

    With the result of Kevin Ollie being AI's primary backup, Louis Williams saw little to none playing time last season. In the limited amount of time he saw on the court last season, Louis showed his ability to score the ball, but it is obvious that he is still very raw, and his point guard skills still need fine tuning. But Louis Williams is only 20 (I believe), and should be one of the future pieces in our franchise. With that being said, it may be smart to play Louis and get him a feel of the NBA life. That way, we should see him develop faster, and he should be able to contribute to this team quicker.

    With that being said, who would you rather see backing up AI at the point? Keep in mind that the loser of this battle will most likely see little or no playing time at all this season.
