Yes, but could you imagine he and Booker "playing defense" together on the perimeter. Collison might be a worse defender than Book, and that's saying a lot.I've always liked Darren Collison. Maybe he can be had for a 2nd round pick at the trade deadline.
Now I see you mean this year making it tougher.
Tyus Jones for Daniels would be a steal for us. Tyus has made massive strides on D and is a solid player on O. He's probably one of the best up-and-comers at the PG position.
He's 6-2 so he isn't hurting us on size like Ulis.
He's essentially a 45/35/85 shooter which is very respectable.
His 4:1 Assist to TO ratio was astounding (3 seasons running, and 2 of those teams sucked)
His 1.2 Steals in 18 min/gm is excellent.
The major questions would be:
Can he play more than 25 minutes?
Can he hold up for a whole season?
The pros FAR outweigh the cons. And he won't cost much. Although he'll cost quite a bit more next off season if he performs well. This is a bargain shopper's dream with little risk. It's a no brainer considering the position we're in.
