I actually like Houston coming off the bench for one reason. Houston will give you instant offense but still take quality shots. I'm afraid if Jamal is a 6th man he's going to come into games with the mentality of scoring right away, and as we know this is when his shot selection goes from suspect to bad.
Either way I dont think its a big deal. Somebody is getting a minutes crunch... no ifs or buts. I dont know if its Houston, Crawford, Penny, Ariza or TT... but one of them will take a hit.
We will see... my gut is Lenny just goes with the hot hand and the better matchup for that night
good point fish. i think he may do that at first, but he'll realize quickly that there will be no need for that due to the fact that he'll be getting more than enough minutes by playing both positions. the toughest part will be to get used to playing both spots and possibly guarding a diferent player every other time down the floor. sometimes a 6'0 guard, sometimes a 6'6 2guard.
