Solutions to backup PG spot

I'm skeptical about the effectiveness of Fields as a PG, but I am definitely open to trying it out.

Teams will sag off of him, and disrespect his non-existant jump shot.
Sure, he can finish at the rim and has decent handles, but he's not a scorer at all, and he isn't as good as a shot creator as you think he is.
I like Fields defense, but until he gets even a mid-range shot, then it's pointless to play him meaningful minutes.
You would have to put 4 other scorers to make up for the void created by Fields

Rarely does he pull up for a mid range jumper and his floater game is worse than Chuck Hayes. If Fields were to play that offense, you would still have to respect the drive. Vasquez also struggles with running anything other than a pick and roll (maybe that's comfort-ability?). Fields is also a much better defender than Vasquez. Fields would not let an old guy like Pierce to blow by him 5 times in a row. Not everyone has to be a 3 point threat. The question is now are Fields other qualities enough to make up for his broken jumper?

But if you put in a PG who can't shoot past 4 feet, his man is probably going to leave him open on the perimeter and go double DD or Ross, or someone who can shoot.
I'm all for putting Fields at the 1, but he brings up a good point

I like the idea of giving Fields backup PG minutes. He's shown he can run a team, and it's an excuse to get him out there. Might as well make use of that $12+ million we're throwing at him.
