Ray Ray

Cant argue that Ray earned more time, but whose minutes does he take? Sessions despite his awkward play is getting to the line. Ray is too small to start at SG, but can play backup SG or PG. Does that mean less time for Stauskas?

Ben, Nik and Ramon have all been pretty poor to varying degrees.

I feel like there is a bit of a chemistry issue with the second unit with Ramon running things, don't know whether there's no communication or something but there's no flow. Always seems to be a tough shot.

I don't feel like Nik deserves to lose minutes before Ben personally.

I feel that when sessions is out there we need to have Ray out there running point. That way Sessions just can focus on attacking the hole instead of making decisions

I'd play him a lot over Sessions right now, because of Ramon's continued turnovers. His ball handling and passing has been horrible. Ray values the ball and his turnovers are low

I'd still play Ray over Sessions but that's just me. Maybe have Ray take some of Nik's minutes because he is a rookie so he won't be producing much for us so soon, maybe later in the season he will be more effective for us. Bring him along slowly.

I think what we're seeing is that nobody on the bench has a lock on minutes. Malone is going to utilize those guys to fit the circumstances, which is something the good coaches do. Having said that, I definitely think Ray has shown that he can come in ice cold and get to work immediately,

This, this is how the Bucks used his last season, when he went on a really nice run.

I never remembered Sessions being such a poor ball handler. Everything seems to slip out of his hands, when he dribbles, catches or passes. Does he have a sore wrist or something?

Anyways, I think it is time to give Ray Mac the backup point guard minutes. Ray can develop into a top notch third guard if given the minutes that Sessions is taking now.

I think Malone will give Sessions a little more time, but I expect Ray Mac to take his backup PG minutes sooner rather than later.

I have to agree, for being a second year player, Ray looks like the consummate pro. His game has no desperation, no need to prove himself, he just comes in and gets it done. I really like him as a player (more than Sessions at this point) and hope he continues to impress. There are worse problems to have than a promising big point guard (whom we selected in the second round) fighting for minutes

It's good to see Ray get some quality minutes and perform well. Coach is doing just fine with his Guard rotations. I'll leave it in his good hands.

If Ray Mac does not play the point when IT comes in (Phoenix game), IT will destroy Sessions.

Lawson and Robinson made Sessions look like he was in the wrong league defensively (against Denver in Sac).

If PHX dares to play all 3 guards at the same time im not sure if our best bet is to punish them with Gay at the 3 or go with a DC, Ray Mac, Ben, Gay, Cousins lineup.
