JJ did have a good first half. I am not saying that excuses all the time he got later in the game, but he made some nice plays in the first half, including some good looks out of the pick and roll. Kiyan is also more likely to get blown by on defense from what I can see (JJ's dbpm is 1.7 and Kiyans is -.3 for the advanced stat lovers, but I don't think that stat is super useful). It is really matchup dependent. Some games like yesterday the guards are overall weak, I think Kiyan can have more of an impact than JJ and should play more. Against a stronger more athletic backcourt I tend to like JJ more.

I was frustrated with JJs play late but I was frustrated with George's too. The only area from any of our guards that is totally acceptable is Kingz on defense. Our problems are still bigger than JJ and he gets treated like a punching bag here, despite our other options also having weaknesses to their games. I do not think all our problems are solved by making him a permanent bench player.
