I think JR will be the biggest beneficiary actually, because it gives him a 
smart, tough, experienced PG to play against in practice to help his own 
development into becoming the same. He hasn't had another PG to practice 
against (sorry, but the court vision, what court vision Tony Delk is NOT a 
PG no matter what position he's slotted in. although he can be a good 
defender against them).
