Byron Scott Says Baron Davis is Starting Point Guard No Matter What

[The Lone Granger]

Coach Byron Scott said that Baron Davis is his starting point guard no matter who the Cavs draft.

Scott made the comments during the regular season, before he knew that the Cavs would get their hands on Duke PG Kyrie Irving. Still, it makes sense. Irving just turned 19 in March and missed half of his only college season due to injury. We'd expect Davis to groom Irving for at least 30 games before the rookie takes over.

I guess this is a good move, but if Irving comes in and proves right away that he should start, should they stick with this? Is this just Scott putting some confidence in Davis and trying to get Baron pumped for the season? Or do you guys think he's serious that he's going to start Davis no matter what?

Thoughts?

its the smart thing to say now. i doubt that hes the start point at seasons end though.

It doesn't really matter, Baron will just get injured and miss most of the season.

Davis has been a good 'soldier' since he came here and has embraced the team and he would have no problem giving up the starting spot to Kyrie but I think it's a good move to ease Kyrie in since we shouldn't expect much out of the Cavs next year. Baron already talked about how he would love to mentor Kyrie.

Baron will most likely lose his starting spot at some point this season whether to injuries and/or being outplayed.
