Pelton: The Point Guards

I like Kevin Pelton. He does a good job of breaking things down. He came out with his rankings for free agent Point Guards.

Here's what he said about the vets:

That analysis pretty much fits my thoughts...Miller is the clear-cut best of the three, Kidd is interesting but probably doesn't have much left and can't defend point guards, Bibby is a terrible idea.

 

If KP signs Bibby I will have a very hard time staying positive about next season.

Bibby is like an older, slower Blake.

If there is any justice in the world, Bibby will be the MVP of the Turkish Basketball Assoc. next year, not a Blazer.

 

It would be a very disappointing signing, yes.

 

Why not just get Sessions? Check out the comparable players... dude is a very good bet to explode. Imagine this: you sign Hedo, then tell Sessions that he'd be the starting PG on this team. I think he'd have a hard time staying in Milwaukee.

 

I'd love that, but since he's restricted, he'd have to force his way out of Milwaukee...tell them to trade him because he'll never re-sign with them. That's probably not a step he'd take.

 

I've been reading a Bucks' forum and they don't sound 100% certain that Sessions will be coming back. I think if the money is the same, he'd take a playoff team (Portland or Atlanta, his offseason home) over Milwaukee. Also, he might not have the best relationship with Skiles, who is apparently a big fan of Jennings. In a sign and trade, I think the Bucks would have a hard time turning down Outlaw + Bayless for Sessions.

 

He is an RFA - it is out of his hands. If the Bucks insist on matching - he is at their mercy.
