Message: [QUOTE="speckle, post: 4972317, member: 13335"] Just my 2 cents, but PG and 6th man are two very different jobs. It's a luxury in college, but pro 6th men tend to be high level combo guards who can score, defend, and run the show through multiple backcourt and wing rotations. Guys like Jamal Crawford and Lou Williams were some of the best players on their teams but they didn't start because they were so successful running their squads coming off the bench. It's not a question of "who's better" but what is best for the team (balance and chemistry). This past season Hass came in to spell Castle in our first rotation which shifted TN and Cam to the 2 and 3 depending on the specific matchup. He however wasn't the primary ball handler when either TN or Castle (later in the season) were on the floor. In my personal opinion, Diarra is not a true point but a really good combo guard and an excellent 6th man. I hope he keeps that role with increased minutes next year. [/QUOTE]
