I think this was suggested by LRTrojan below. That would mean sitting Patterson since Fowler, Shane, and either Big Mike or Burton will be starting. I don't have a big problem with that, but most on the board seem to believe that we are better with Brandon at the point and need his size on defense. I guess he does a lot of things that I don't notice (well I did notice his 6 turnovers yesterday).

So the question becomes do you start Stevie or III. I still believe Stevie is our most talented player (Shane is right in there) and best scorer. Seems like you would want him on the court from the opening tap. On the hand, he gives us a big lift when he comes with his speed, quickness, etc. when the other team is getting a little tired. Looks like Steve will make his choice of the starter a game time decision depending on the team we are playing. I like the idea of keeping the opponent off balance and not knowing what they will be facing when the game tips off.

Who starts is almost beside the point given the number of minutes Stevie is getting, but I agree that those two are a valuable combination that need to be in the game together a lot.

Right now, the two guys you for sure want in the game are Fowler and Shane, but that may not last long. Right now it is occupant of the 5 spot that is most in doubt.
