    Why not have Nic do it? I think Nic has that "Tyshaun Prince" type talent. Also, I think Roy is better used in iso's or rolling off screens. It will help hide his inability to drive past his man. What say you?

    I think that would be better for Rudy and Roy, but I'm just not sure Batum's got good enough handles for it to work out. It'd force him to contribute even when he's feeling passive so that'd be nice for sure.

    No way. Nic doesn't even have the handles to be an off guard.

    Roy should bring it up, but get the damned ball out of his hands immediately unless he's got a great mismatch.

    Most of Portland's scoring happens in the last 7 seconds of the shot clock by design. So who handles it for the first 6 seconds isn't as critical. Especially when you figure Miller will probably be logging 40 mpg in the playoffs, so we're really only talking 8 minutes a night.
