But I will always contend and wonder how much better he would have been playing SG instead of PG, if we had had a legit PG. Cash was playing out of position. But he did a good enough job. |

I've never thought about him as a SG, but I can see it based on the way he could shoot. Cash had a great career, but it was his knee injury freshman year that did him in. He was lightning quick in high school, but he never quite got that step back at UC.

I wonder how much better he would have been if he didn't hurt his knee and shoulder...

That's the real question. As for playing out of position, I would argue that he would have to play PG to have any shot at an NBA career. Of course, the injuries took any chance of that away but that was probably the logic.

To me a sg is someone who can dribble, but can't necessarily be relied on to bring the ball up the court, also someone who can score in a variety of ways, whether it be driving or shooting deep. That doesn't descibe Cash to me. A pg is someone who can bring the ball up the court dn run the offense and create for his teammates. Honestly both positions should be able to score in a variety of ways and should be able to hit a jump shot. Cash handled the ball as well as any pg, but as far as his ability to create for his teammates he fell short of what you want from a pg. It's hard to just say he's a sg because he really took care of the ball, but he did seem to be better off the ball once in the half-court offense because then he could set up for an outside shot (assuming we could create an open look for him). Before he got hurt, when his feet were set he was deadly. That is something you think of more from a sg. He did come back to his shooting form late in the season, although I think the lingering issues still affected him. To me the only thing that seperates a sg and a pg is your ability to dribble and bring the ball up the court under pressure. There are pg's that can hit an outside shot or create their own shot, in fact that anymore is what you want out of your pg. I think a better argument is whether or not he was an effective pg or a great pg. To be a great pg you have to be able to run an offense and create for your teammates. Cash was not good at those things, thus I would say he was an effective pg. I don't say any of this to dog him. I was and will always be a huge Cash fan.
