You are willing to say this after *THREE* *FREAKING* *GAMES*????  What, is he 
going to cost the team a division title this season?  A shot at home-court in 
the playoffs?  Why not let him go through his growing pains in games that 
essentially don't count?

Yes, he could.  He is no more a PG than Dana or Dee is. I still fail to see 
why anyone thinks either of those two can play the point.  They are just 
short SGs. There is a lot more to playing the position than being short.  
Bowen does not even have that apparent qualification.

This team has exactly two PGs on the roster...Billups and Edney.  Playing 
anyone else there smacks of panic.

You *AGREE*???  Does this not seem a tad contradictory when you allocate 
benching a player after three games, and replacing him with someone who has 
never played the position?

I hate to see what you would do if you were not being patient!
