It's a given to most of us that Damon shouldn't even be starting. no point in really dwelling on this.
what surprises me is that it seems like several on this board are eager to give Derek Anderson the starting nod without even much consideration for Wes Person. Person should clearly start.
the funny thing is that Person, McInnis, Stoudamire and Anderson all seem to be rewarded (or punished) for what they've done several seasons ago. Cheeks is featuring McInnis like he's still a CBA guard, Stoudamire like he's still in his second season in Toronto, DA like he's still in San Antonio, and Person like he's still in Memphis.
the irony is that while DA and Stoudamire are clearly not that good, Person is playing like he did in Cleveland, not Memphis. when he was a Cav, he was one of the very best shooters in the business. 50% fg. 44% from 3. this season he's at a still astounding 47% and 45% respectively.
DA and Stoudamire have never even sniffed that kind of efficiency for more than five games in a row in their careers. that kind of efficiency is exactly what opens up the court for Zach to play in the post. that kind of efficiency puts deep lumps in the throats of opposing coaches whenever the ball gets swung around the perimeter. that kind of efficiency wins games.
yeah, our defense still sucks with Person starting, but from what I've seen, none of these four guards are significantly better at guarding a lawn chair for us to even bother discussing it.
we've got one of the best outside shooters in the game, on a team with no other outside shooters. forget Memphis, Cheeks. Person has clearly moved on, and so should you.
