Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1278653, member: 569"] I know some want Mike to start as the PG which he is likely capable of. IMO though is more valuable as a SF because he's being guarded by a forward and he's then a valuable secondary playmaker to the PG. We haven't seen it yet because Joseph just isn't there yet but Mike becomes exponentially more valuable to the offense if he is playing along side a PG who is a threat to score and make plays off of penetration. Having two such players on the court and one being a forward who can also shoot means easy driving lanes for both the SF and the PG unless you are going to leave the PF or C an easy post look or leave Cooney. This does not happen this year but Mike still gets to be the point forward and initiate the offense against forwards which is where he really has the advantage, and IMO trying to do that against a guard would make him less effective in that role.
