I think I'd like to see those two swap, as well, in terms of Blake getting the lesser role. Blake's hit some big threes, but he can do that off the bench, too. Sergio's ability to penetrate and (seemingly in spite of Nate's preferences) push the ball occasionally make the Blazers a better team. Ed O.
Yes, that's what I meant, actually. Give Blake's minutes to Sergio and Sergio's minutes to Blake. I'd still rather have Blake on the floor in the final minutes, simply because he has an outside shot and Sergio doesn't. But the rest of the game, I'm more interested in seeing what Sergio can do for offensive flow than having Blake bring it up, throw it to Roy or Aldridge and then go spot up.
This is the kind of logic that passed on MJ because we had Drexler... These two can coexist beautifully together. One will take it down to the paint and break the defense, the other will stretch the defense and play great off the ball. Both can pass and create for others. There is no need to choose between them...
We are seeing it right now; Rudy and Roy coexist beautifully, thank you very much. What a defensive headache for the other side!
