I agree about McBee and forcing turnovers and about the double team, But he can't shoot anything but 3's and a couple plays i remember, he had just sloppy ball control. He lost the ball 1 or two times and someone had to bail him out a couple times.
However, I'm not saying he should get less playing time, I just think he's more powerful coming off the bench. McRae has higher intensity, so I was saying if he started instead of McBee, they'd have faster starts. Then sub McBee in while we're up a few and he'll have room to hit some 3's.

Well, everybody has their shaky moments against good teams, but on balance I think McBee does a good job. I don't care if he starts or not, but CCM apparently thinks the team works better with him starting and getting major minutes. I would agree with you that McRae seems to have a bigger upside, but he too sometimes falls asleep on defense, and while I admire his courage in taking the ball to the basket, his success rate is not quite what it should be yet. Perhaps if he started, he wouldn't feel pressured to make something happen every time he gets it. But again, that's CCM's decision and I see no real reason to question it at this time.
