Mitch Creeks best position?
Just throwing it out there, what do people think Mitchs best position is?
I have seen him used at sf/sg/pf, where would you want him to be played in the long run,
Personally with his skill set, strength, athleticism, and the fact he had great success in junior world champs playing there i reckon its PF, think Mackinnon/Vukona type, a little undersized height wise, but very athletic and has a good nose for the ball. I reckon you could get a solid 15pts 8 rebounds out of him at an efficient rate at the PF spot in the next few years if you give him around 25 mins court time. I have seen Joey use him there at times and liked it. Also it helps cover his not overly strong, but improving, perimiter game, especially offensively.
Also this year, given we have gone with a import sf and then started Teys over him at sf, i also half expect them to find a import sf again, it doesnt look like Joey is thinking he is the long term answer at sf, and if we wanna keep him, which i do, i reckon we need to start him next season and play him some good minutes, i also reckon he is ready for it and would do well with extra responsibility.
Also take into account Petrie is in his early 30s and Johnson looks a good chance to be elsewhere, I wouldnt mind seeing Creek and Schenscher start at pf/c backed up by Petrie and Anthony (still 20+ mins for Petrie, im a big fan) and grab a import sf who can shoot the ball from range, KB mould would be perfect, possibly use the marquee player on this spot if the club is planning to use it.
Anyway thats my theory more for next season onwards than tonight, but where do others think Creeks best position is and future role in the team (hoping he stays long term) should be?
