So we see the tough time Redick is having and its not any easier now with the broken hand. How much could he have really improved this offseason is what im wondering. |

I think Bogans should start until Redick gets some consistent productive minutes. Bogans is a good defender and better at penetrating and can hit some 3's. Even if he's not as good as Redick hitting the 3's. Just bring Redick of the bench, no need for 3's when Rashard and Bogans are in there. |

Maybe Bogans should start. I mean, if Keith Bogans is making J.J. look bad on defense, then how will the Hamiltons and Wades and Allens of the East make him look? Yikes. |

I still think Ariza should end up starting so long as his shot has been improved (he maintains it's what he's been working on every day this offseason). Stan Van Gundy's preseason quotes have all revolved around defense, so it will be surprising if he goes with Redick to start out with considering how he did last year. |

Yes when you say either of The Van Gundy Brother Name the first think to your mind is "D" and that is what Keith Bogans brings to the Orlando Magic.Remeber that SG Starting problem in the first part or middle of 2000 between Bogans vs. DeShahun Stevenson.Look who won that Battle Sometime Orlando should think about because if Bogans leaves Orlando again he may not come back.

Honestly, I'm not too impressed when the guys vying for our starting SG spot would all probably be coming off the bench for better teams in the league. However, right now I would go with Bogans. |

But how hard is it to make JJ look bad on defense? The guy tries really hard to play d he's just not good at it. I still don't know why Turks name isnt in there unless he's strictly going to back up Lewis,. It would be a mistake not to start him along side Lewis. |

bogans didn't impress me much last season, either did JJ. i'm more of a JJ fan, so i would love him to start. but as of right now start Bogans, he's more vet. |

Whomever is doing best at the position after camp should get the nod. Whatever happened last year is irrelevant. Just win, baby! |

Bogans didn't get much PT under Hill. I have however seen what he can do given significant minutes with the Bobcats. He's a good SG and we need to use him. I don't want you guys to think that I hate JJ, He impressed me with his defensive efforts, and proved me wrong. I just think he needs to be consistant at something and contribute and that would be hitting those three's.

Rocks blocking shots on guys with dreadlocks

hopefully bogans improved shooting will translate into the real games considering he has a good chance of being our starting SG, i like him because of his defensive presence and size and I know the stats say he was a decent 3 pt shooter last year but i cant count how many times last year when he started for us he would miss WIDE OPEN 3's when dwight got doubled like it was nobody's business |

As much as I like seeing JJ on the starting lineup, it appears that Bogans is outworking him. Bogans is also better defensively. If both of them keep up this pace, we will have a solid SG rotation. Again, it remains to be seen if that translates into real games as icevein333 mentioned. |

Sometime Orlando should think about because if Bogans leaves Orlando again he may not come back.
