Nope- Andre's not really getting a shot to show his stuff yet and Hedo looks so so in the few games thus far.
Our main problem has been defense. Wings have been killing Portland so far. Having said that, Hedo would not have helped in that area. In fact, he'd make it worse.
I was hoping someone would bring some comedic relief to this thread. Bayless is 1/100th the PG Miller is. I can see you're taking advantage of the new medical mary-jane in Oregon.
I'm not saying Miller has looked good, I just think over the season he will show he's a lot better out there than Bayless.
you haven't watched any games yet this year apparently. miller hasn't done anything in the first 4 games that bayless isn't capable of, particularly on D. if he's 100x better he's either dogging it in a major way, or nate is a terrible coach.
Steve Blake is averaging more assists than Andre Miller at this point. I realize it's a small sample, but damn, $7 million is $7 million, isn't it? Plus, Bayless could probably at least try and defend the opposing PG instead of letting a wing try and do it.
I don't see how we can criticize a guy who is coming off the bench (not his fault) and isn't closing games like we thought he would (possibly his fault). It's not like he was given the starting spot that he was paid to take, and has been playing below expectations. He's a $7 million fucking backup because Nate says so.
Miller's been pretty good his whole career He's being used wrong. Nate shouldn't have wasted Miller's time in bringing him here.
he's never been a great defender, and obviously has always had terrible range. but yeah he HAS been great in the past running the break and offense, which apparent isn't part of nate's plan for using him.
What would Hedo be doing besides replicating what Roy does from the wing? He's not a great defender, he hasn't been especially efficient lately and although he's OK at hitting from distance (or used to be anyway) I sort of doubt he'd be the kind of impact player we'd hope for, especially for the amount of money he's raking in.
He'd shoot 3's like Rudy does. Pretty simple. Can never have enough shooters on a Nate McMillan team.
