There are going to be nights when Triche will only get one basket off the dribble outside of fast breaks. But there isn't going to be a night when Dion gets less then three layups in the halfcourt.

What happens when our starters aren't getting it done. Then we put in Triche Southerland and CJ the defense buckles down on our shooters and plays fair alittle tighter? We will be SOL.
Neither Triche or James are great three point shooters off the dribble. James doesn't have the quickest release and sometimes his shot looks way off while others hes just unstoppable.

Makes more sense to have a shooter, a dribble attacker, and a midrange specialist like CJ come off the bench. Just bring alittle bit of everything off the bench. That will frustrate anyone all year long.
[B]If there is one thing I am sure of if A guy like Scoop can create off some early isolation game in and out, then putting Dion in after him makes our isolation even better as the game goes on.[/B]
That just adds insult to injury game in and out.

I also feel we don't need Dion to take over we just need him to do what hes doing. This teams well roundedness and unselfishness is a strength. Starting Dion puts him in a run the offense through him role rather then a tempo changer role. And you don't sit guys you run the offense through you play them 32 mpg. That plays out of our unselfish look and could make Dion tired during comebacks and close games. Games where we need his spark on both ends (pressing and tight D also) with 10 minutes left.

But I don't doubt Dion is good enough to run the offense for 32 mpg game. And that is a SCARY thought.

IMO though this is a REALLY GOOD DEBATE.
