Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3615822, member: 405"] Put Buddy next to Michael Carter-Williams for 20-25 minutes a game, and he would look like J.J. Reddick. Buddy is a good player, but he is such a poor defender that you can't hide him at the top of the zone with another slow footed guy. We've had so many slow footed guys be successful over the years, but they were shooters, and they were usually paired with an athletic guy who could get to the rim, or get into the lane and create open looks. Girard is not that guy. He's a somewhat different version of Buddy - mostly a shooter, a gamer, high basketball IQ - but honestly, they are both sixth men on most good teams. [/QUOTE]
