It throws off chemistry too much. <BR/><BR/>Second, I predicted Damon would hold onto the starting job for a month and I still have a week to go to make the prediction look brilliant. I made it in July by the way.Chip Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633190293643815540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-40975569144231782022007-11-19T14:25:00.000-06:002007-11-19T14:25:00.000-06:00I agree that Lowry needs to start, at least for no...I agree that Lowry needs to start, at least for now. Eventually, I see him coming off of the bench behind Conley. But for now he is the Grizzlies best PG. And the best players on most teams in most sports start. Even when the best players don't start -- e.g., Ginobli in San Antonio -- they usually have had an opportunity to start through a process of trial and error. A second reason to start Lowry is that he always comes to play, which could help what has been a slow starting first unit. Third, Lowry plays defense, the Grizzlies biggest weakness. Finally, while Lowry doesn't shoot the ball as well as Damon, he puts a lot of pressure on the opposing team's defense because of his quickness, ability to penetrate, and his knack at drawing fouls on bigs at the rim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
