I like Buycks game when he looks to penetrate and dish. I think he could use improvement with the haircut which is like an updated version of the mullet "party on top, business on the sides."

Buycks, Stone or Kabongo?

Keep the best 15 players, even if it is 4 PGs. Stone's skill set and versatility is a great fit, plus he could mentor some guys (Ross) on D. Buycks is a big potential guy, with minimal risk.
Kabongo would be better served learning away from the pressure of playing in Canada. Euro makes the most sense.Heir, Prince of Cambridge
If you see KeonClark in the wasteland, please share your food and water with him.

But having a versatile winger, who can guard 3 positions and bring the ball up as either the primary or secondary guard, is a good option to have. Versatility is the new height in the NBA. Teams would rather have a smaller versatile player than a tall one trick pony (unless that trick is 3PT shooting)

His stats say different: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...ne-6357/stats/
Also he is coming off knee injury. He has not shown much of yet but from the media reports he is getting better/stronger/explosive.

I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt based on his previous stats at all levels (minus Denver. 28 minutes total) and return from injury.
The other consideration is what Casey is trying to run offensively. Looking at Lowry I think how the *&*$ did this happen? Where did your ability to run a team go?

I don't think there is any denying his talent, just a matter of getting his confidence back up, and getting him into a slightly forgiving system.

Our 3rd string PG is likeley to see more minutes than 3rd stringers on most other teams. We're already a very poor team as far as assists go, so you definetely need someone with "point guard" skills.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

Axel wrote: View PostTrue, but if there is one person in the league that has scouted this guy the most, I'd be m money on MU. He knew what he was getting from his time in Denver, and I'd put more stock into his opinion on Stone than anyone else on this roster.
3rd at best, I'm assuming they keep Augustin, Buycks and Stone. At that point, Stone isn't even the back-ups back-up at point, but rather a versatile fill-in anywhere in the back-court, that can have a role as a PG duo on the court (team him with Buycks for stretches).
