This is what Don Nelson told the media this morning about Monta Ellis playing point guard for the W's:
"It would be good because of his size (a shrimp) if he could do that. He needs to develop a little bit better passing skills. I think he can do that. Does that make him a point guard? At his size it's hard to be a fulltime 2 guard at 6-2. There just aren't many of them around, small 2 guards. He sees himself as a guard. There's some reluctance to take that next step in his mind. I don't think he'll ever be a fulltime point guard. I think he'll be a guard. It's not just score the ball. You've got to take care of your teammates a little more and have a feel for that."
My kid Iggy, home for a week from UCLA, said he thinks Nelson will draft a small forward who can distribute the ball. Iggy says Nelson doesn't care if he has a point. He wants guys who can shoot and pass the ball. Iggy says Nelson is deking everyone. We'll find out Thursday.
I see a big smoke screen. I think they're hoping DeRozan dropped to them. Nellie can never have enough scoring 2-3s.
