Mark Jackson didn't set the world on fire when he came into the NBA, and 
it's a position he always played.  His only adjustment was to the pro 
game.  I like Kidd a lot and would take him in a second.  I like Nash but 
I'm not making a judgement based upon one game against us.  Brevin Knight 
has already been injured and is another smurf-sized guard that we always 
want to ship out of town.
