How is DJ Augustine not a starter?

[tontoz]

Strong era for pgs. So many good starters.

Reminds me of the Darren Collison situation.

Flourish being a backup point guard to Chris Paul, then disapointed as the starter in Indiana, then later in Dallas after replacing the retired Jason Kidd. The particular thing here is player need to find the best fit for them to thrive, for some players it's a bench role, they'd be a mess as starters, others it's a specific team, that seems to be the circumstances with Collison, now in Sacramento he has been playing really well as a starter.

For Augustine, same thing, was decent to mediocre in Charlotte, then had moments with the Bulls, now is having success in Detroit (which will have to be evaluated).

In my opinion, he is starting caliber and a damn good scorer, yet Detroit might not be the place for him to have alot of success, try the Lakers or Knicks, sure teams that are down in the dirt, but man could he put up ridonculous stats there.

Good stuff there. I knew little about Augustin's career before he came to Detroit. From what I've heard, he was almost out of the league last year before being picked up by Chicago. I understand role variance and fitting with the right team, but crazy to imagine there wasn't a spot for him somewhere.

he sucks

[UK2K]

19, 9, 4, 2 steals

8/15 from the field. 3 3's made.

Pistons high scorer and high assiter.

After dropping 35 his first night as a starter, he puts up a solid line like this.

Some guys aren't full-time starter material.

He definitely didn't play like this on the Pacers.......

[dreamwarrior]

he's shooting .397 thats why

[oarabbus]

Augustine KILLED it last year on the Bulls and was solid in the playoffs as well. He should be starting for sure SOMEWHERE out there.

To be honest I think it's cuz he's 5'11" or so. He's listed at 6' but you can see he's smaller than anyone besides Nate Robinson and JJ Barea, and coaches discriminate like **** against PGs without size

[dontgetchoked]

augustin was our leading scorer last season. to be the leading scorer on a playoff team to coming off the bench for a borderline playoff team is strange. I'm pretty sure he was our best 3 point shooter too.

He definitely didn't play like this on the Pacers.......

Vogel kills offensive talent to be honest.

[AirTupac]

how high bruh

hahahahahaha

[andremiller07]

Beno Udrih as a starter is 3-0 and averaging nearly 14 points on nearly 70% FG%

Some guys aren't full-time starter material.

2 games as a starter

27, 8.5, 4 on 20/35 from the floor vs the Cavs and Toronto.

He did this last season for the Bulls, but when Heinrich was healthy, he always got the nod.

Because of nights like tonight.

Because of nights like tonight.

I watched the game for a bit and it doesn't even seem like he is trying to do anything on offense. he just brings the ball up and makes a simple pass.

probably put his game check on the sixers.
