Good points, and it may evolve in that direction.  The current reality is that Tyus is struggling in his role in half court offense -- he isn't a true 2G at this point and frankly he isn't playing that well.   He is the best athlete and best dunker on the team, but that does not yet translate in the half court.   Frank Howard is getting PG starts in every game -- and the starting unit is struggling at the beginning of each half.

JB is experimenting with line-ups, and undoubtedly he is force feeding Tyus and Frank in practice.  He has tried Gillon and Howard in combination at the guard spots, reflecting Battle's struggles to be effective at 2G.

I expect, by March, the best combination on the perimeter will be Howard at PG, and White and Battle on the wings (comparable swing roles).  But how does JB get there?  Give the keys now?  Or continue to adjust his combinations, while pushing Howard & Battle to develop their skills, before they get the keys?
