Having a PG who can make a jump-shot consistently.
I guess you also want a PG that is turnover prone and is a mediocre defender
You mean like Phil Pressey?
Then there's Pressey's defense. While the team numbers have been an eyesore this month -- Boston's defensive rating with Pressey on the floor is 111.1 in April, negating some of his offensive exploits -- coach Brad Stevens has praised Pressey's individual defense and tenacity against bigger ball-handlers.
"Phil’s got a lot of pride," Stevens said. "He’s a tough guy. He’s a very good defender"
I think CBS knows when he sees good defense out there. What do you think Chambers?
What do you think about his defensive play below vs 6'6 MCW. Mediocre right?

Mediocre or crappy defense is the kind of defense Rondo played for us this season. Letting his man get by him over and over again. Some deflections and steals could not compensate for the defensive horror show
What else can he say about a 5'5" NBA midget that can't shoot, can't get to the free throw line or score?
It's great that he tries hard on defense. He had a steal against MCW. Whoop dee doo.
The fact is, that when he is on the floor, he is a defensive liability because of his size. Opponents can pass over him, back him down in the post and draw a double team> kick out for an open shot.
I'm not saying he doesn't try his hardest, and I love the way he pushes the ball in transition and finds open players- but he is barely an NBA player because he can't shoot.
What's different about Phil Pressey than the rest of the D League?
You crap on about Rondo's shoot percentages and you're defending a 5 foot nothing 3rd string point guard that shoots 32% from the field and not even 25% from three.
If the opposing team runs the pick and roll, they are almost 100% guaranteed to either get to the line, or score when Phil Pressey is guarding the point guard. All that they have to do is switch. You can also leave him wide open because he couldn't shoot a basketball into an open dumpster.
Tell me, what is he doing out there on the floor again?
He is an NBA towel boy and will likely be out of the league within 1-2 years unless that 3 point shot hits 35%.
