I think when you consider the nature of the Triangle your looking for disciplined players who will do things off the ball, provide diciplined ball movement, and have a good BB IQ.
Phil has generally prefered his guards "big" or have the wingspan.

While Nate is a spectacular athlete and fun to watch he is most valuable as a shot creater and instant offensive threat off the bench. He carried Chicago two years ago when Rose when down and their bench was offensively challanged.

Your obviously a fan, but objecively he drives his coach's crazy with his tunnel vision, Attention Deficeit disorder, and personality. Those might actually be fun reasons to watch him! I believe he is one of the greatest athletes on the planet right now and if he was 6-8 with a the looney toon brain he would be a top 10 player in this league. But he is not.

he's got more talent in his pinkie finger than any of our guards. he's not the perfect triangle pg but a great change of pace guard.

Well, this at least beats the Linsomelove we get exposed to from time to time...

I guess we need at least one head case on the team, with JR gone...Okay, Bring back KryptoNate!

those immature days are past him... can you please show me example of his head case behavior in recent years...? jr has shown those in all years of his career and they are both around the same age.

back up your statements with facts, not prejudice.

If he's such a solid citizen/contributor, why doesn't he stick anywhere? My reference to JR was not to make a one-for-one comparison [Nate's never been in that league of lunacy], but more to the banality of the team we have on the floor at this point.

Peace, friend!

Bring back "Lights"
