At 19 and right out of high school, he is already our best defender at the pg posistion. He is a pest to the opposing pg. He will pick up the other pg 3/4th's court and suffacate them. He also knows how to find open players. He had some excellent passes tonight. He even went 1-2 from downtown. I think he is head and shoulders above the rest of our pg's. This kid could really be something, we can't waste him on the bench. He will give us a better chance to make the playoffs then Damon or NVE would. I don't even think Mouse should play pg anymore. It seems like Mouse only perfoms when he is the 2 and Bassy is the PG. The only weakness in Bassy's game is his jumper, but he still is getting to the hoop and either drawing a foul or dishing it out for a wide open J.Not to mention he just brings excitement to this team. At home games, he sparks the crowd and his team. We really need to see a lot of this guy.

As long as Damon and Nick are making more money then Telfair they will get more PT......Thats just the way Cheeks is....

Tince

Or maybe that's just the way Nash is. Nash has multiple reason's to be telling Cheeks to play the guys who are potential trade bait.

Dan

so how come dale davis didn't get minutes ahead of Zach last year?

Perfection

The thing about DD was that he was able to be the backup PF/C. That way, we had a three man rotation and....similar to the way that Drexler/Strickland/Porter used to be a three man rotation between the guard positions. So DD still had some decent minutes...especially until the Rasheed trade. After that trade, SAR and Theo each made more than DD so of course they would play...besides, it is more about making players like Mouse/Van Exel/SAR attractive to trade for...with their expiring contracts. DD doesn't have the talent or contract situaiton of these guys.

Perfection

And I agree that Telfair should play more. He is really exciting and this is his chance to grow. However, I say that we keep playing Mouse and Nick until the trade deadline...hoping to get them traded...and then turn it over to Telfair regardless.

Telfair is the future...hopefully...I just pray he'll sign an extension with us.

I think the reality Blazer management needs to start dealing with is, Telfair might very well be the only returning PG to next years roster. Now, I'm sure Nash will make a run at obtaining another PG in the summer (or at least I hope....but after last summer, who knows), but at the very least Sebastian will most likely be the only one at his position who has played with the current players on the roster. If he doesn't start getting consistant time now, you're looking at him learning on the job next year, which no doubt will spell another crummy season.

Get Sebastian minutes now, let him develop more in the Summer league, and then give him a legit shot at starting next year.

....Or run the risk of throwing another season away.
