I think it’s a great idea if jack can take care of the ball. Think of all the offensive firepower we would have if buike or randolph started! Buike can start on a lot of teams in the NBA, and it would make us somewhat bigger than normal which is good. My only concern would be defensively, I know jack is a good perimeter defender but would he be guarding the other teams point guard? for example game 1 of the season against chris paul? Or would we be running a lot of the 3-2 zone that we play? either way if marcus and CJ are’nt producing then this would be fun!

He tried this some after Jax first arrived when Baron was out and Sarunas was either also hurt or just sucked too much to even try. I don’t remember his ball handling being a problem, but he wasn’t really much in getting the offense going.

if he the point, it’s going to be turnover party since he isn’t a good ballhandler at all. Action Jackson is a walking turnover waiting to happens. We should let Marcus William do it. He is a pretty good pg when given the minutes.

I think that would be a good strategy for the Warriors, as long as Jackson isn’t playing against someone like Chris Paul.

I would be all for that, I think it might actually LOWER Jackson’s turnovers. When Jackson is a scorer, he tries to do too much with the ball in order to score, and ends up turning it over. When he’s playing as a distributer, he showcases how he was the 2nd best playmaker on the team last season.

I don’t think Nellie would expect Jackson to be the next Steve Nash. The Warriors are a team with a bunch of ballhandlers that can initiate their own offense. It’s not like a Kyle Korver type where a player would need a great pass just to get an open look. All of Jackson’s teammates can get open looks because of their ballhandling, and Jackson already proved how good he is on the pick and roll with Biedrins.

And it’s not like we would always rely on Jack to run the offense all the time. Nellie’s system doesn’t require the point guard to run the fastbreak. Even when we had Baron, we would see guys like Harrington, Monta, J-Rich, Barnes, Dunleavy, Biedrins etc. bringing the ball up to start the break.

Playing Jackson at point guard sounds like a CRAZY idea, but if the Warriors tried it it could turn out to be very effective. It would only work against certain teams, though. Like when we would start Harrington over Biedrins in order to hold Yao under 16 points. It worked great up until the Rockets finally got good big men alongside Yao to distract the Warriors.

Phil Jackson is also planning on starting Lamar Odom at point guard during the preseason.

nellie wants to run and jax will slow the tempo down at the point. why dont we invest in a legit point? monta is gonna be like allen iverson, a mindless scoring machine that needs someone to pass to him.
