Prigs is effectively the PG with Felton being more of a SG when they're in their together. As for Artest he's OK, but he's no Mason with the ball. Felton's role is to be the PnR PG, which he can do. Felton just lacks the court vision to be a pure PG. The Role Felton had with MDA was PERFECT for him. That's why Felton avg'd 17/9 under MDA. The way Woody wants to play is better suited for a guy like Prigs or Udrih. Smart, Patient PG's who can see the floor and hit the open man.

Don't you remember how last year teams like Indy and Chicago used the "run them off the 3 point line" strategy on us, which lead to them clanking open mid range shot after shot? Well if they tried that with him here, this is what will happen:

Having both Bargs and him on the court ends that since both can shoot from the midrange. I really hope he signs here, getting both Ivan Johnson and Beno Udrih considering our circumstances would for sure cap off a [Amare] phenomenal [/Amare] offseason.

Exactly that's why Udrih is a better fit for Woodson than Felton. The offense goes through Melo. You needs guys who shoot efficiently around him. Bargnani and udrih will get plenty of open looks and unlike Felton will knock the down. Knocking down open shots makes a huge difference. We haven't had that since forever. Even when Felton is wide open you expect him to brick it

I don't want to bring in Beno Udrih, that'll ruin the minutes distribution. Udrih is better than Prigioni who we're paying good money. We need a legit third string PG, Pargo is a great shooter and I love the defense Toure Murray brings. I'll be fine with any of the two. Please, no Bobby Brown I don't support these guys who play overseas and come over.

Udrih doesn't sell Jerseys off the shelves in Argentina, big difference is Dolan is in to marketing 1st and foremost.
