Season is 2 days away and we still have no clue who the backup PG is. If it's up to you, who'd be Lowry's backup?

I expect Buycks to get playing time, potentially at both guard spots, with Stone eventually earning the backup PG role (if healthy).Mamba Mentality

Had Stone been completely healthy for the full training camp, he would be my pick out of the gate.
As for Buycks, I'm not sold. I see him as a younger, inexperienced Lucas III, with a bit more defense. He'd be 4th on my depth chart once Stone is healthy enough to dress.

Sorry, you need to add other to that poll. AND the correct answer is other. MY guess is that the first move is a small one to correct the backup pg situation. DJ is on the decline. Look at his preseason numbers from the past and how they correlate with his seasons... he might just be done. I like Buycks but he needs some seasoning. Also, Stone needs to take his time, properly rehab and maybe add a jumper. The Raps should take their time with him and reap the benefits later.

Buycks has looked bad so far, but he's a rookie with a lot of potential. I'd like to see him get 10 minutes of burn, every night, just to see if he can turn into something. If he hasn't shown he can be a valuable player by mid-december, then maybe bury him at the end of the bench.
