Posey not an answer at shooting guard

The Hornets desperately need a shooting guard. It appears Morris Peterson was a failed experiment and by the end of the season Bonzi Wells proved to be a better option. But to consider Posey as an answer at shooting guard reeks of desperation. Bonzi Wells is the best backup small forward in the league right now, possibly capable of playing a complementary role as a starter, but if the Hornets make him the starting shooting guard, their problems won’t end there. Players that are 6-foot-8 usually don’t play guard unless they’ve shown unnatural skill or athleticism. Posey isn’t strikingly skilled or athletic. He’s a clutch long-range shooter. He had his chance to start in this league when he played for Houston and was expendable. He’s found a niche and although you can’t blame him for taking a role as a starter again, especially for an up-and-coming team like the Hornets, but it might be better for him to stick with coming off the bench.
