I know some people have already said this, but I think Pop should give this some serious consideration.
We have nothing to lose at this point, Pop should experiment with it and see how it works. Right now with RJ in the starting lineup, he is nothing more than a spot up shooter, watching TP and TD playing the 2 man game. Not only is Manu a better shooter than RJ, but he doesn't need the ball to be effective, he knows how to play off of TD and TP.
With RJ coming off the bench he will have the ball in his hands a lot more and , Hill can get him better involved in the offense, then he will be in better rhythm to close out games, the 2nd unit is going to come in and speed up the tempo of the game anyway, so RJ will get more opportunities.
Even if this is only temporary, RJ can just be the 6th man until get his
rhythm back. Had we gotten Maggette 2 years ago I suspect this would've been the best way to use him too.
Only problem with this is who will be the starting SF, I think Bogans will be too small to defend other SF's, and Finley... well nothing more needs to said.
