Yep, some people in Denver are using those numbers to suggest Ty should start. I think it's off base for a couple of reasons:
1) Ty changes the game against tired legs or backups right now. Put him with "fresh" guys to start a game and he'll still be one hell of a PG, but there is no question those points per possession numbers drop.
2) CB is still a very good PG against the standard NBA defense. He knows where to go with the ball and knows when to pick his spots. Ty will learn that, but he doesn't need to be thrown into the fire now.
3) Keep Ty fresh for the postseason. No need to play him 35 minutes a night now and wear him down. As much as that would help my fantasy team, it would not help the Nuggets.
