The only thing i'm not sure about in this lineup is Jim Jackson at point. I would much rather have Ward start, and have Lue, Taylor, Jim Jackson, Mutombo be our backups. Thats a HELL of a second unit.

I know Jimmy is CAPABLE of playing point, but who's going to back up Boki then? Bowen? Or have Jimmy play 38+ mins again? Also what about Lue then? 5 minutes as a third string? No and no and no.

I guess Jeff wants Jimmy in there because with Boki in, we will need more shooters. But Ward can also shoot. Maybe its for rebounding. Any how, i would rather him back up Boki. Boki will still only play ~20 mins, and Jimmy ~33 mins with backup time behind SF and SG.

In anycase, I am fully supportive of Boki starting. He will gain some much needed confidence, and will have more of an oppurtunity to play off of Yao and Tmac. Some people have commented that Boki is more comfortable feeding off of our stars, rather than creating. This should address that.

Then again, they were probably just mixing it up in practice.

Oh BTW this lineup gives our starting lineup an average height of 6'10.

Since it is preseason and lineups don't matter, I think JVG is just trying to mix things up to see what they can do.

I remember Nachbar starting all the preseason games last season. He's been given the chances, PLEASE NACHBAR-PROVE YOURSELF.

Is Mac starting at the point? I see JJ and Mac is the starting back court. And will he guard the point?
