    Is he more suited to be a Shooting Guard or Point Guard?

    I've always called him a Combo Guard, but for these purpose I'm limiting the choice between these two options.

    Public Poll.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Where's the option for "the phrase 'once and for all' doesn't make sense in regards to a 22 year old player?" ;)

    Well, to be honest, the topic has already been discussed/debated in these parts ad nauseam. However, I reluctantly appeased the person who asked me to post this poll. I'll leave it at that. ;)

    What I want to see: Chauncey Billups V.2

    IMO Bayless should become a point guard or nothing, for the Blazers anyway

    I think it's appropriate that he's about fifty-fifty right now ... pretty much a perfect description of a combo guard.

    He is a career back up PG. I would never want him to be the starting PG for my team, but I don't think you could do much better for a back up PG. If Roy goes down however, I would be fine with him getting starter SG minutes.

    i just really think it's too early for me to answer this poll. If he improves his shot, he becomes a shooting guard. If he improves his handle and decision making, he becomes a PG. As it stands now, he is just a back up to whichever guard needs a breather.

    See, ABM, I told you. Many posters don't even know what positions players play.

    He's a SG when he takes Roy's spot on the floor, and he's a PG when he takes Miller's.

    Best suited as an SG, it seems.
