Default Boom-boom at point?


Just when I though I was starting to understand basketball a little
bit, I hear this:

"Fred Jones, who spent most of the fourth quarter running the team from
the point while Calderon played off the ball, led Toronto with 17
points while Chris Bosh had 14 in just 27 minutes."

Calderon, a "pass-first pure point gaurd", playing off the ball, while
high flying Freddy Boom-Boom Jones plays at point?

WTF? Anybody see this? Comments?

In anycase, the sweathogs on the raptors second unit seemed to do quite
well. Good news so far.

Cheers.

It's pre-season, so I hope they are just trying things out. I don't want
to see Calderon playing SG while Jones plays PG. No need for that.
Calderon doesn't have SG skills, while Jones has decent SG skills.

I'm sure they're just trying things out, and likely, trying to maximize
minutes for the reserves, though I don't see why they didn't just put
Jones at the 2. But anyway, the important thing is that Fred Jones at
17 points.

I really like this signing of Fred Jones, we finally have a guy coming
off the bench who is capable of putting up 15-20 points. I think Jones
is kind of a streaky player that Mitchell could put out there whenver
our starting offense isn't quite clicking and see if Jones can inject a
little energy.
