It’s time again for everybody’s favorite experiment: the Randy Foye at point guard experiment!
We got a taste of this two years ago, late in the Nuggets’ season, when Ty Lawson, Andre Miller, and Aaron Brooks (???) were all out of commission. And it lead to some pretty bananas statlines. Like a 30 and 15 game. Remember, we’re talking about Randy Foye here. Not someone good like Rajon Rondo or Chris Paul.
It turns out that all you need to do to make the Foyester a viable NBA player is start him at point guard. Tonight, in a disturbing recollection of the past, with Emmanuel Mudiay and Jameer Nelson out of commission, he put up 31 points along with 6 assists. Remember, we’re talking about Randy Foye here. Not someone good like John Wall or Reggie Jackson.
I didn’t show the assists, because, let’s face it, when people see that Randy Foye scored 31 points, they’re not gonna care about a few baskets that his teammates made. They want to see hot Foye action, and by God, I’m gonna give it to them.
