Who defends shooting guards in this lineup? I think Philadelphia has
problems with this even when they use a larger point guard that defends
shooting guards. We'd definitely have the smallest team in the league
with this lienup. Teams that play multiple point guards usually have
at least one "oversized" one.

Maybe, but wouldn't Philly rather just trade for Grant Hill instead then?
