They have a lot of quality players on the roster who deserve minutes while also having a major hole as the third ball handler. Is it better to sign a veteran who expects 20 plus minutes a night that might cause other issues with the rotation and/or limit young player development? Or look for a guy to have in case of rest issues or injuries to jump in when needed that allows us to play Hardaway 30 minutes a night while also evaluating the growth of Green and Frankie?
I feel like a lot of depends on Wood. How much will he be handling the ball and creating for himself. Certainly not creating looks for other people but we do desperately need that 3rd guy who can at least create looks for himself without Luka and Dinwiddie setting them up.
If he can be that guy, then I think we're fine in that sense.
If that part works then we just need a veteran PG who's willing to be buried on the bench the majority of the time but still competent enough to start here and there.
