Boston has got a problem at the starting PG position. Is the week of the goodbye of Darrel Armstrong, a player who was signed to take the lead of the team as PG, but his activity during the year as starting PG was very bad for the team. So that Anthony Johnson was signed, and then John Salmons toke the PG, and now is Raja Bell the starting PG. Wich will be the next PG?
Maybe Andrea Bargnani, the impressive Rookie of the Week 12. In an incredible week Andrea helped the team to win two games and only lose one of them, a very good register. In other way, fimaly Primoz Brezec arrives Boston in exchange Armstrong and Aaron Williams. Armstrong played 32 matches, scoring 7.2 ppg, grabbing 0.6 rpg and assisting 2.1 apg. Williams played 12 matches, scoring 3.8 ppg and grabbing 3.7 rpg with a 63% of field goalds percentage.
"Yes, we know that we have got a problem at the starting point guard position, but our team has got one of the deepest benchs in the league, so that we was able to put four diferent players at this position. We began with Darrel, his attitude was superb, he was able to make one double double, but the medium level of the league in this position is very high, so that we had to sent Devean in exchange Anthony Johnson, a very good player, that became to play as the starting position. You know wich was the problem of Anthony. He was able to score, to assist, but he wasn't able to defend anything". Said Doc Rivers. "After Anthony, we tried with our 'joker-player', John Salmons, who is available to play from PG to SF. His attitude is incredible, he can score, he can assist, he can defend, but still the oppossite PG won the matches. Now we are playing with Raja, in the paper our starting small guard, but he is able to play at the PG position too. We hope that in the next year we could solve this problem and will make to play a player in his best position in the court, but this year we are going to play like we are playing now, a huge defence, playing fastbreaks, and hopping that Andrea and Eddy could make 40+25 to win the match".
Primoz Brezec says that "I'm very happy to stay in the team of Amago, a very good manager in Europe that now is using his knowledge of the game here in the NLL. I arrive to help the team in the inside game. I know that Curry and Bargnani are the starting inside players, but i'm going to work very hard to saw the trainer that I can play as starter". "Yes I know that there are many people who say that Andrea could play as small forward, and this could make me to stay in the starting five, but I don't know what are going to do Doc Rivers in the future".
