Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 2722533, member: 837"] Legit concern, IMO. JB's best teams are the ones that fit together well and have guys playing in the spots that suit them the best. The title team had GMac off-ball (a luxury he rarely had the next three years) the bulk of the time, Melo able to go inside-out at the 3 instead of being forced into exclusively playing the 4 and Pace and duany being able to chip in as needed in bench roles. Even two years ago, once Battle got going at the 2, White settled in at the 3 and we used Lydon to play a kind of odd, but effective stretch 5 type role was much better than when we were trying to squeeze White in at the 2 and make lydon a wing. The point being, it seems logical to at least question if Hughes, who is a bit short for the ideal player at the three, can quite handle what we need him to handle in that role. [/QUOTE]
