I counted 8 passes he made and the other guy missed the shot. He creates a lot of good opportunities, guys just miss wide open looks he provides.

he's decent on offense despite the fact that there is literally no system. On defense, it's like Nash or worse

Huertas is a maestro on offense and a matador on defense

Huertas is better off on the court with Black and Sacre (at the very least Black), plus the "chuck brothers". I don't think the defense will be any worse that what we're seeing with Bass and Kelly out there.

This guy is a ghost. If isn't going be the back up point guard just cut him. He must be pretty bad If can't get any minutes. He is getting a bunch of splinters on his behind.

The PG rotation will be:

DLO/Clarkson/Lou. Not any minutes for Huertas and I don't anticipate injuries with that trio.

His inability to shoot has really come to the forefront.

I have no idea why lou is the PG for that second unit? Should be Huertas at least especially if DLO or Clarkson isn't in the second unit.

We are wasting him on the bench. He's our best natural pg on the roster and is much needed on the second unit but Byron(I think I'm much smarter than I actually am) doesn't want to play him.

Good practice player, but going up against NBA players is a tough predicament. Teams are going to exploit his inability to make long distance shots. If only we had him in his prime and not on his last legs.

I think what dissuaded him was when the opposing team completely left him open on his jumper. He can't shoot and it's pretty apparent.

He is, by far, the worst defensive player on the team too.

He shoots fine within the 3pt line. He just needs to be on the ball most of the time so he's not a 3pt shooter. If he's on the floor the other 4 guys should be spacing the floor for the drive and kick or pnr.

I don't like having Lou play lead guard over Huertas. Its not like Lou plays any defense either. But playing Lou at PG allows swaggy to play the 2 and gets Metta on the floor at 3.

He's struggling more than I anticipated to adapt to the NBA, especially with the shot. But I think he'll get over it and get his minutes.

Agreed, despite his apparent flaws he is an outstanding assist guy. That's something that this team could use an added dose of, for sure.

It's apparent, thus far, that MH's game is not suited for the nba. He has a Nash like game although to a much lesser degree. MH will dribble into the paint to probe, but he doesn't have the ability to finish consistently over big and/or athletic nba players when teammates aren't open. The three things that make MH an inefficient player at the nba level are poor shooting, poor 1-on-1 defense, and overall anemic athleticism for his position. MH has an uncanny ability to find the open man, but it's not enough to warrant playing time. In the global game of basketball, MH can be successful, but it doesn't suit the nba fashion of the sport.

nash had the uncanny ability to get to the line. That or he finishes for 2 or hit an open player for the easy hoop. Dude was amazing.

He's also 32 and diminished athletically. Not a big guy either.

Are you talking about Nash? Nash was 33 when he was all NBA first team. I realize it's not a fair comparison but nash played great into his mid 30's.
