Watching the GS game, I can't help but feel that we'd be better off with a big point guard, who is a playmaker. I believe that Tmac is our best playmaker on the team, being able to make great passes from the top of the key due to his size advantage.
Many times, be it Rafer, Luther, or Bobby, you can see a possible pass to a cutter that isn't made, and I feel that it is simply because the small guards can't get a pass over their defender, or even see the court that well.
It'd be nice to get a great ball handler, who is tall, so Tracy doesn't have to dominate that duty.
Our guards seem to have a problem, when pressured, on getting the ball to it's target. QUOTE]

Thank you for supporting my opinion which I have been presenting for several seasons!

Dismissing Francis is shortsighted. You have to give Francis a pass this year because of the knee. The tendon was 70% torn so it must have been very painful to play and especially to jump and attempt those dunks of his. If Francis recovers and plays, he could be very valuable. Might even outplay Alston for his starting job.

There's a better chance Mike James would be ahead of Francis in the rotation, and he's in New Orleans.

Big PG who are play makers and can shoot lights out tend to cost $12 million a year and up (and up and up and up).

Why? He's not that much taller than Brooks and there's nothing he can do that Brooks can't.

Plus, Brooks has a waaaay better shot.

Umm, why would they pick Derrick Rose when they already have Conley, Crittenton, as you pointed out, as well as Navarro and Lowry? Either way, Conley is the PG of the future for Memphis and a rare talent, I doubt they would be trading him so early during his development.

Because if they get the #2 pick they would almost have to pick up Derrick Rose. In my opinion the drop from Derrick Rose to Brook Lopez, Jerryd Bayless, Eric Gordon, OJ Mayo etc. etc. is a large one. Rose's skill set is too rare/good to pass up, a 6'4"-6'5" true PG, with athletiscm, a good finisher, and great court vision. Therefore Memphis would almost have to pick Derrick Rose and move Conely for a good big young player with potential, and draft picks. Memphis would also be able to move Brian Cardinal's contract in a Conely Jr trade.
