One thing about this Francis benching the other night. Ok, it didn't work that game. But why is that? Perhaps we replaced him with the wrong player? Why did benching Francis mean replacing him with another combo guard -- Crawford?
Frankly I think the experiment should have been either Francis or Marbury to the bench (and I'll bet I know what the consensus is on which one) and move Q to SG. Then bring Lee or Balk in at the 3. Why not try that one for a game or two? Why are we intent on playing a PG/combo at the SG position?
