    I think that Sasha Vujacic should start a game instead of Chucky. With Chucky in the game against the spurs, the laker were outscored 9-2 in the end. Sasha played very well in the Grizz game. I feel that since we have no chance to make the playoffs, we should let some young guys play, and the old statues sit.

    I think over the course of the game, it would be just as bad as Chucky starting. Sasha is a twig out there, if he got majority of the minutes, he would be owned.

    I agree with Zoltar. Chucky plays like a SG, he's a shooter. Sasha played point guard in Italy, so he ought to get some playing time at that position. I think he won't be as bad as Chucky on defense, because "Defense is played with your feet," and Sasha's legs can cover more ground quickly as they're longer than Chucky's. lol
