It's something we'll have to figure out when we come up against an ultra quick PG in the playoffs like Wall or Irving. I'd like to see Wright start and guard a player like that, or see if OG is quick enough to do it. Their extra length will help make up for some of the speed.
Yeah, Wright in a two-PG lineup is definitely a big part of the solution, and I'm pretty sure that's how Casey would have closed this if he had either Lowry or FVV available. Wright was a little overmatched by Westbrook, but part of that is simply an experience thing, and giving Wright more experience like today will only make him better.
