Starter
i'd like to see someone picking 10 PGs on this list (i think this is the starting PG list, i'm not even including the backups who may be just as good as a starter) worse than/they'd rather not have over Bibby. this is defined as someone who's put up stinkier numbers this season, or has a darker outlook over the next few seasons.
Mike Bibby Season Stats (33 games with Atlanta): 14.1 ppg, 6.5 apg, 1.1 spg, 2.45 TO
The top ten guys on the list who immediately jumped out:
Rajon Rondo Boston Celtics 10.6 ppg, 5.1 apg, 1.7 spg 1.9 TO
Anthony Carter Denver Nuggets 7.8 ppg, 5.5 apg, 1.5 spg, 1.8 TO
Jamaal Tinsley Indiana Pacers 11.9 ppg, 8.4 apg, 1.7 spg, 3.33 TO
Marcus Banks Miami Heat 9.5 ppg, 3.0 apg, 0.5 spg, 1.75 TO
Shaun Livingston LA Clippers 9.3 ppg, 5.1 apg, 1.1 spg, 2.00 TO
Sebastian Telfair Minnesota Timberwolves 9.3 ppg, 5.9 apg, 1.0 spg, 1.85 TO
Nate Robinson New York Knicks 12.7 ppg, 2.9 apg, 0.8 spg, 1.43 TO
Steve Blake Portland Trail Blazers 8.5 ppg, 5.1 apg, 0.7 spg, 1.41 TO
Beno Udrih Sacramento Kings 12.8 ppg, 4.3 apg, 0.9 spg, 2.28 TO
Earl Watson Seattle SuperSonics 10.7 ppg, 6.8 apg, 0.9 spg, 2.20 T
And for the 11th, one could include
Anthony Johnson Atlanta Hawks 6.7 ppg, 4.8 apg, 1.0 spg, 1.19 TO
Also keep in mind, Udrih, Watson, Robinson and even Telfair have been having career years (in Udrih case, a contract year) Rondo has truly benefited from playing with the "Boston Three Party" to steal a line from ESPN, Livingston is still pure potential at this point, Tinsely is at the end of his career and Blake, Carter and Banks would be little more than backups on a contender.
That being said, trading Bibby was the right move. I agree he's a shell of his former self and it was time to go in a new direction. I would have liked to have gotten a better prospect or draft pick, but it was a good step.
It will only be a bust if it's not followed by more steps in that direction (Miller, Artests and God willing, K9)
