Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2480442, member: 40"] My opinion only, but I think Frank will benefit immensely from playing alongside a versatile backcourt partner who can handle some of the ball-handling / playmaking responsibilities. Battle is a terrific scorer and a good defender at the top of the zone, but he doesn't provide much by way of those things. In that respect, I wonder if it will be a better "fit" having him play alongside Carey -- a guy who can push the ball, who can get to the rim, score, and pass. Not that either of them will be full time traditional lead guards, but just having somebody who can do those things might make for a more "complimentary" backcourt pairing. Frank might be a helluva lot more effective under the "less is more" paradigm, in terms of having to shoulder playmaking responsibilities on his own. [/QUOTE]
