That someone in that line-up would have to guard the other team’s point, and that Roy might become exhausted too easily running the point for the whole game.

Isn’t Roy playing the PG position the theory that has been told to us countless amounts of times by those closest to the organization? If thats the case, then I suppose it does make most sense to get a player like Turk (obviously not him anymore…but you know what I mean…). I can see why we are so hot after another scorer/playmaker…

IMO Roy would spend too much energy bringing up the ball, maintaining possession, and guarding the other teams PG (perhaps not very well). I think he is much more effective picking his spots to run the offense and create his own play.

We already rely on him too much. If he also plays PG and then goes down to injury, what the heck is the team going to do?

If this worked, you’d think Nate McMillan would have already switched to this lineup. This lineup is useful at certain times in a game, but it would wear Roy out if it were full time. And fast PGs like CP3 or Tony Parker would absolutely murder Roy at the defensive end. Roy just doesn’t have the speed and athleticism necessary for a player his size to play the point.

If we would have got Hedo, I’m sure we would have seen this line-up, and long as Rudy was able to stay in front of PG’s. Now, unless we get another point forward, I don’t see this line-up happening consistently.

You could start Batum and put him on the opposing team’s point guard. Roy or Rudy could guard the small forward spot.

It’s true that there are disadvantages to this approach, but there are also advantages – not the least of which is having Rudy on the court more consistently.

being able to better use Bayless’s strengths by playing him at two guard coming off the bench.
