I don't think replacing one of our SGs with a smaller player who shoots worse is going to make our offense better.
He's been playing mostly SG for about two years now and hasn't been much of a playmaker for Memphis. Plus defensively he's a downgrade from Lee.
He's averaged about 5 ap36 with Memphis. He's been a playmaker just fine (more last year than this year), he's just not getting too much playing time.
His AST% is low this year (near bottom of all PGs), and his assists per 36 are at 3.7.
He was better last year at 5.6 and a better AST% but they've moved him to SG almost full time. Not a great sign of his ability to run and offense and make plays.
Sounds to me like they simply had a need for a SG off the bench, and that move didn't work out -- hence they swapped him for Lee. He should be fine as a backup PG.
edit: Although this hypothesis also seems weird, since I'm not sure who else is handling backup PG duties in Memphis. Mike Miller and Tony Allen don't seem fit for the part.
He has put up some assist numbers but I don't see him as a passer at all. Like I said before, he can give you some PG minutes (and is fit to defend the position) but I don't see him on the level of Crawford passing wise.
I still am okay with a guy who can score for himself anyways, we could probably use that. I just hope he shoots better here.
