Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 196297, member: 485"] We can't take this debate to an extreme -- BT is a good player, he is a combo guard who can play some PG if you don't have a legit, quick guard. He would play 30 plus minutes for a lot of teams. But I agree with Alsacs. Dion plays late in the 2nd half (actually, he usually plays late in both halves) because he can take a share of the pressure away from Scoop. He is always a threat to dribble drive or get his own shot. The defenders have to be aware of Dion. He can get past his defender and into the lane. It is part of the energy he adds. Think about it -- you might not want BT to have the ball with 10 seconds left on a shot clock and a defender in his grill. And, yet, that is exactly how JB wants to work the clock with a lead in the last 5 or even 10 minutes of a game. [/QUOTE]
