Missing from Lee's astute observations of the game is the fact that Hot Rod had 7 assists, albeit 4 turnovers.
Hot Rod and C-Bill will work fine together because Hot Rod can play the point and C-Bill's outside shooting and size and strength on defense are good enough for him to play the off guard when the two play together.
No two guards have exactly the same game so it is highly unlikely that Hot Rod will have the same game as Rip does. Michael, Magic, Stockton and Nash all have/had different games but they all were/are great guards.
Hot Rod will be more than just fine.
Magic didn't have the greatest outside game when he started playing in the NBA either, Hot Rod's will be more than adequate.
