I did not see that one coming. I had a diff player in mind but I think I like it? I don’t know if it’s good value is my only hangup.
I’ll probably like it the more I think about it. I have thought that Billups was a prototype for the modern point guard and he’s rarely referenced as such. The fit is great and he’s probably better than the guy I was thinking of with the team you have.
Billups also played for a couple seasons with KG before Detroit signed him to a contract that was larger than many anticipated, wasn’t it just the full midlevel or something tho? I remember there being a bit of skepticism with Dumars giving him the deal and role.
The thing I remember about Chauncey from that 2004 Finals is how he seemed to make the right decision every time and was completely under control. He always had the goods. Before that dragon slaying, I think the general impression of Chauncey was a middling journeyman PG. He shows up in Detroit out of nowhere with alligator blood making basketball moves.
Also the length of UNDRAFTED giving UNDRAFTED fits in that Finals. +1 to RIP Rick Fox.
