    Just thought I'd check.

    If your opinion is that "starting doesn't matter," then think of this poll as, "Which player should log 30+ minutes at the PG position, regardless of who starts."

    I'm sick of Blake's overall crappiness and Miller's mostly crappiness.

    blake needs to get traded along with some filler to get us something thats better than him because we cant just let him sit apparently and bayless and miller are ten times the PG he is....

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'd actually, for now, like to see a three-guard rotation (not lineup) of Roy, Miller and Bayless, in that order of MPG.

    When Rudy returns, it can be a four-guard rotation. I actually think Blake is a competent reserve, but he's just caught in a minutes crunch. I think Roy, Miller and Rudy are superior players and Bayless might well be and anyway needs time to establish himself.

    Miller to start, Bayless to back up, Blake on mop-up duty.

    After Rudy comes back, Steve should be glued to the bench.

    <Hmm... Minstrel seems to have covered it. >

    Fuck it, I said Bayless, he may not be a real point guard, but he can score and plays his ass off ... and apparently he's rediscovered how to hit a jump shot between UofA and his second year. I'd also like to see Miller playing from the jump instead of trying to having to get into the game when it's already well under way; clearly he needs to get into some kind or rhythm and doing it as a bench guy just isn't happening.

    Bayless is better than Rudy.

    There, I said it.

    There, I cautiously asserted that it is possible that you two are correct, but the sample sizes are too small to really be sure; that said, Bayless is intriguing.

    Bam! Take that, establishment!

    Well, we better trade him before he gets too good and gets too big of a swelled head. Pretty soon, he'll be thinking he's part of the core and not just a five minute a night emergency free throw generator.

    :lol: Well played.

    I just think that, even when playing random minutes each night, Bayless is still able to do one thing consistently well, get to the line. Whereas Rudy's most valuable contribution, three point shooting, isn't even that consistent.

    voted before i saw the 30+ minutes part.

    bayless should start. none of the 3 should see 30+ plus minutes. let bayless start and play half the game. miller/blake fight for the rest(but whoever sucks less at the time gets all of the minutes, don't have each guy playing 12 minutes a game).

    for now with rudy out, all three guys should be seeing 20+ minutes.
