I'd like some advice on how to arrange the guards on my Juniata team.  By far my two best guards are Keith Jackson and Lawrence Thomas.  Both of them are dynamic defensive players who can also shoulder a great deal of the scoring load.  Unfortunately, while both guys can handle the ball, neither can pass.  Jackson has a passing rating of 51, Thomas only 37.  I usually build teams with very good passing across the board and it definitely seems to improve my teams' shooting %s.  I really hate the idea of putting two guards like that on the court together as starters.  On the other hand, the only better passer I have - Philip Bryden - is a defensive liability.  I have 2 SFs on the roster that are pretty well-balanced players and who I don't want to marginalize, so starting all 3 guards isn't a great option for me.  This is further magnified by the fact that if the guy I'm trying to RS (Goss) takes it I'll have only have 5 guards on the roster, and starting 3 with 2 freshmen left on the bench would leave me real thin in a press.  In short, I don't really like any of my options...  Is my best choice to just start Jackson and Thomas and live with the awful passing?

Little help...

Yea, you left yourself in a pretty tough spot there. I would say leave Jackson and Thomas out there, but keep Thomas' distro low. That will mean less plays run through him and will result in less turnovers off of bad passes. 

Keep Jackson at PG so he'll be making the majority of the passes and keep his distro right where it is or a little higher. Give your bigs some of the distro that you tae off of Thomas. 

I'd think about Bryden at PG and Jackson at SG.   Jackson should be able to score with that SPD, BH and PER.  Bryden is going to have to play so why not play him in a spot where his PASSING is maximized.  Thomsas comes off the bench, I would put him as the 1st backup at PG and SG to maximize his minutes.

I'm definitely not going with a setup where Thomas gets big minutes at PG.  As of right now he's not even on the depth chart at PG.  Or maybe 4th.  He's got 37 passing.

if he's a scoring PG it won't kill you.  he'll have an extra TO here and there...not as many as you'd expect, probably...but it won't be outweighed by the baskets he scores or creates via putbacks or the fouls he draws.  with his athleticism/speed/bh combo he'll be able to get to the basket often.
