I wouldn't drop Telfair.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would if it's not a dynasty. Jack will be starting by the end of the season.

[/ QUOTE ]we shall see, both are distinctly different points though, I like Jack's presence and I think he runs the offense well. Telfair on the other hand is still learning how to be an NBA point, but he is so quick. Time will tell if he is just another Marbury type player. Nate is going to teach both of them a lot, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Jack start later. I told my roomate that a week ago, and he is worried (he is a huge telfair dick rider for some reason).

Yeah, Telfair just looks like what he is, a high schooler playing NBA ball. His natural ability can only take him so far right now, because everyone he's up against is much closer in talent than who he has played before, and they have had so much more good coaching, that it equalizes the situation.

He seems like the perfect candidate for a minor league NBA team. Get drafted high, based solely on how good you know he'll be. Let him play in the minors for a year, starting every game, getting personal attention from a coach whose motive isn't to win, but to make his players better, and basically learn everything he needs to come up the next year and be a solid NBA PG. HS point guards are going to be a rare breed, and will be hard pressed to succeed early on in their careers. Of course, Louis Williams just made the same mistake this year, so who knows. Good for them for getting the money though.
