Who's Garrett Temple?????

[stitches]

If that is what they are thinking I think they are not looking at him as stop-gap starter but rather as a back up/depth/versatility at the PG spot. He's a lengthy defender. In some respects he would be what Dante was last year - spotting up guard in offense(over 50% of his shots were from 3), while guarding opponent's PGs and allowing us to switch everything in D.

My guess is that they want the backup to be a change-of-pace guy so they can accept him being smaller. But I dunno.

Yeah I think so too, and now that Dante is out they needed to go the opposite direction again... let's see how it pans out

Can do some ball-handling to help relieve pressure. an occasional 3 is a bonus

Sounds like a combo guard. Why not just use Burks?

I will just use Hanlan? He wants to trade for temple? I don't know its true, but i wouldn't trade.

Burks is a questionable defender against SG's. Now you want him to try to guard quicker PG's? He'd get eaten alive.

I looked up Diante Garrett's, Nate Wolter's and Elliot Williams NBA stats and they are comparable or better than Temple's. They could be signed for no compensation. If Quin wants to go the Temple route why not wait and see if our current crop of PGs can carry us without pushing the button.

Good point. Garrett entered my mind also as he's a solid defender.

Yeah, I think for 10 minutes a game Burks could probably guard the same backup pg's this guy would be guarding.

So what are we giving WAS for him? Grant Jerrett? A 2nd round pick?

Temple is bigger than Garrett but if we need big have big wings. All in all I probably would prefer signing Garrett to making a trade with Washington.
