At what point do we think about starting Quis?
I know it's extremely early, but it's a legit question. Through the entire preseason and two regular season games, Quis has been much more productive than Christie. For the record, I was one of the biggest supporters of bringing Christie here, primarily because I thought having him in the backcourt would really help improve the ball movement. Once we find some continuity on offense, this may be the case, but it's painfully clear that Christie is very limited offensively at this point in his career. Maybe if and when the team figures itself out offensively, he can contribute more by spotting up and such, and sort of play a role similar to the one Bruce Bowen plays for the Spurs.
But what if that doesn't happen? How far can we really go if our starting 2 guard can't score more than 5 ppg.
So that leads to the question, when do we think about starting Quis? It's obvious that he's lightyears ahead of Christie in terms of scoring. From what I've seen his D is more than adequate. The only problem I have with Quis (aside from his lousy shooting) is that he puts on blinders when slashing down the lane. Of course, that's pretty much the same problem with Stack; both can become blackholes. I wonder though, can Marquis be our Rip Hamilton? Our dare I say, our Ginobili?
