Hopefully Bynum will be someone else's massive defensive lability next season. I've had enough to him turning the other team's backup PG into Isiah Thomas.
Please, get another PG that isnt as explosive offensively but doesnt fucking suck on defense.

From what I read, he didn't suck defensively before the he had an ankle.
Personally I'd prefer a dude that is more of a pass-first/defensive minded kind of back-up...
especially considering Stuckey is our starter and our bench consists of the offensive minded Gordon and Nova.
Guys like that must be hard to find, or Joe doesn't value them because I've been wanting that kind of PG on this team since Chauncey was signed.
Earl Watson is who you are talking about,btw.
As far as Bynum, he's still the best playmaker on the team, and he does it while playing with backups/scrubs and he still manages to be a threat to get his own and defenses have to honor that.
And for his defensive shortcomings, I'll take a guy that struggles a bit due to his size as long as he's a bulldog that plays balls out. You can never question his effort.
he's the best playmaker on both teams.
Maybe someday he'll be an even better one for us than he is for the team wearing the different jerseys.
Watson was at one time exactly who I wanted but how old is he now?
Is there anyone close to the mold I'm talking about and 25yrs or younger?
We simply can't go and get them, though...
we had pepe sanchez for a year. He was the perfect pass-first defensive PG. Never got off the bench for us, though.
BTW I would kill for Grevis Vasquez in the draft, assuming we dont get Wall.
Unfortunately, he's playing himself into the 1st round.
Oh, and BTW:
The only time Bynum's "poor" D really hurts us is when the opposing PG beats Will, drives into the paint (drawing our bigs) and then drops it off for what is essentially an uncontested lay up or dunk.
If the opposing PG actually kicks it out the defensive rotations should be good enough to not leave a perimeter shooter open in that situation...
especially when you consider that Bynum got beat and is now guarding no one.
Wouldn't he drop down into the paint somewhere?
Where would he rotate too? It's not like he's the only guard in the NBA to get beaten off the dribble.
Where do those guards rotate too once their man is on his way to the hole?
Couldn't Will drop down in an attempt to intercept the drop off pass?
Could he foul the receiver?
It's not as simple as "Bynum got beat and we gave up an open lay up".
Sanchez? I don't think he's defensive minded enough.
Quality pass-first guy though - could run an offensive really well.
Wonder what he's doing now?
