...we are so fortunate to have these 3 guards...they each have strengths and weaknesses...and each has brought much to the game.  I believe starting Scoop and Triche is good with Waiters off the bench...I believe Triche in at end of close games where we lead is important because of FT stats...some stat info that you all may find interesting before I show all stats:
[LIST]
[*]They each have played within .1 of each other average per game...21.5 Waiters/Scoop; 21.4 Triche
[*]Waiters and Scoop are shooting over 50% while Triche is over 40%
[*]Triche is shooting nearly 40% from three while Waiters and Scoop are 34% and 32%
[*]Triche has a far better asst to TO ratio of 3 to 1 vs. Scoop at 2 to 1 and Waiters at 2-1 being nice
[*]Triche FT at 83% vs. Waiters at 71% and Scoop at 52%
[*]Waiters is better at steals 2.1 vs Scoop at 1.8 and Triche at 1.2
[/LIST]
This basically says we have have 3 good guards...would be interesting to see Triche play point and move Scoop and Dion to SGs...they both are better 2 pt shooters and drivers than Triche..but watch out if Triche starts driving and scoring...conversely if Waiters and Scoop start hitting 3s..ouch...

Stats thru 13 games (average)
                 Min    Shoot%    3%    Asst   TO    RBDS    FT%    Steals    Points
Waiters     21.5     [B]52[/B]          34     2.7     1.4     1.7        71       [B]  2.1  [/B]      [B]12.3[/B]

Scoop        21.5    [B]55 [/B]          32      [B]3.9[/B]    2.0     2.2        52         [B]1.8 [/B]        9.2

Triche       21.4    42          [B]40[/B]      [B]3.1     1.2[/B]    2.1        [B]83  [/B]       1.2         9.8

These stats are nearly so even...guards are interchangeable....I would like to see Triche as PG along with MCW and Scoop and Dion the 2G; otherwise keep rotation as is and the starters stay the same
