I don't mean he should bring the ball up, but the sets we could run with him would be definitely hard to adjust to.  Then again, the team obviously has problems getting the simple things right, so getting creative might be a little over the top for this team right now!

It's hard to make the case for him right now to start at SG. One of his strength is his superior physique compared to other PGs, if you let him play SG he won't have that advantage. Stuckey already suffers from playing more at the two this year, starting him there would make it worse.

Gordon can be a spark off the bench and maybe then his turnovers and bad defense won't be so crucial.

Stuckey can play there for stretches, but his jumper is just too bad to be a starting SG! I agree on the big man thing, it's our biggest need, I don't think it will be fixed until the draft so we might as well try to do the best we can with what we got!
