I pretty much agree with this part about Barea/Roddy. If Roddy gets playing time in the playoffs, it certainly won't be as a PG. I'd much rather have pre-slump Barea as a back-up PG than Terry. Coming into the season, after he got that shoulder fixed in the offseason, I was hoping he would be an even better shooter, but sadly he got worse for whatever reason. Also, at times it seemed to me that he was no more near the positive locker room influence he once used to be, which is probably not surprising, given the frustrating effect such an extended slump must have on any player.
