From what I remember, Mike James is a solid back-up point, even viable as a starting 1 on other teams. CP is a Beast that can do everything; it's unfair to compare any other 1 really, so I think our bench is sufficient (a different gameplan will have to be implemented. That means work, Coach Scott). Still a weakness? Most definitely. But not necessarily worse than before. Bonzi should come back (despite playoff woes), and where's our backup big man? And on topic, why is Robin Lopez even mentioned in the hustle tourney? I didn't know you could qualify with ZERO minutes of playing time. Also fun fact: Brook Lopez is the first result on google for the term 'Robin Lopez'.

If anyone watched some of the summer league games, they saw Ju Ju playing kind of a Point Forward at times. Maybe they had a clue that Pargo may not be back and are looking for Wright to handle some of the Point responsibilities for the reserve squad. I'd be interested to see if they use Wright in that way sometime during the preseason.

Also its a tragedy that Ryan Bowen was not mentioned as a wild card at least. For the record, I made it a point to not vote for any Lakers or Celtics on that hustle thing.

We could shut down just about anybody at that position, we need Pargo because he gives us a better than average point guard off the bench who can play starting minutes(god forbid he has to do so, good health next year CP). He also gives us a formidable bench with him, Wells, Posey, Wright, and hopefully Armstrong will continue to develop his game this is a dangerous group seriously, so New Orleans I love ya but damn you have to dump some contracts(sorry rasual/ely/james/bowen) and get some money in for the ones who deserve it like JP and maybe another contributor who can rebound the ball off the bench.

He lit up a lot of teams last year and it was crazy because when he was hot nobody could stop him. People can say he's not big enough to do this or that but we will not find a perfect bench player that is why they are on the bench but the production he puts up is better than most of those sitting on the bench and we should value that. Also I'm sorry as a white guy I'm proud to have Bowen on our team doing his thing but now that we are a championship contender it's time to say our goodbyes, we are good enough now that we need someone who can hustle and do something with the ball other than just throw it to the next guy, or shoot jumpers from six feet away from the basket.

Pargo is an infinitely better defender than James, but our bench figures to be a top-notch defensive unit anyway. Couple that with the fact that Byron Scott likes to play the 2-PG look... Pargo was too weak to guard opposing 2 guards. That left CP3 guarding bigger players like Ginobili, Jamal Crawford, Cuttino Mobley, etc. If anything, this could give CP a lighter workload defensively (which, considering his big minutes, would be a huge plus). And re: Mike James injury issues. Before coming to the Hornets, Pargo played 33, 31, 32 and 57 games in his first 4 years. So he's far from durable. Mike James last 5 years before joining the Hornets: 78, 81, 74, 79, 82. Yup, mW nice point about Posey/Wright.
