Bo McCalebb suffered an ankle injury Thursday evening in the second half of a European League tournament game. At the time of his injury he was leading all scorers with 17 points. Reports were that he was carried off the floor by his teammates. The PG is still trying to get an update regarding his prognosis. Hopefully is was a bad sprain - nothing broken.<br />

The PG reminds us about Bo McCalebb, "Europe's Best Point Guard" and alerts us of Ramon Session's prospects for starting at the point for the Charlotte Bobcats. Finally, there is a mention of Smush Parker who, apparently, did not have the best relationship with Kobe Bryant. The music is "Piano Beat" courtesy of GCP OnDaTrack (copyright 2012).<br />

He speaks to Marc Spears of YAHOO Sports in this <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--escape-from-l-a---ramon-sessions-gets-fresh-start-with-bobcats.html" target="_blank">article</a>. <br />
<br />
It's good to hear that Sessions will be starting in Charlotte. The PG was concerned that the Bobcats' commitment to last year's first round draft choice, Kemba Walker, would relegate our guy once again to a backup role. According to Spears' article, new Charlotte Coach Mike Dunlap says Sessions will be counted on to lead this season. <br />

They hired Eddie Jordan who employed the offense with the Washington Wizards and he learned the system from Carrill when they were both assistants at Sacramento. This will be the Lakers' third offense installation in three years.<br />

Anything that takes the ball out of Nash's hands and lessens his opportunities to run the pick-and-roll with Gasol while compelling rotating defenders to actually LEAVE Kobe Bryant alone, sounds like a blessing to me if I'm an opposing coach. I know the Wizards had much success running this with Gilbert Arenas at the point. But Arenas, as great as he was, still was a different type of player than Nash. Arenas could really score but Nash will not be the team's leading scorer. The team's leading scorer will obviously be Kobe no matter what you run. So why run a Princeton motion offense and unnecessarily take the ball out of Nash's hands? <br />
<br />
Washington had three main scorers who could all put the ball on the floor, Arenas, Jamison and Butler. Whatever motion the Wizards ran, one of those 3 guys was going to get the shot - and usually ended up putting the ball on the floor to get that shot. Nash's primary benefit for a team is that he enables ball players who don't put the ball on the floor well to get wide open shots (read: Howard, Gasol, and World Peace) off his masterful use of the pick-and-roll. I don't see a motion offense making better scorers of these three. And by going with it, much like with the triangle, you de-emphasize the ability of the point guard to put perimeter dribble pressure on the defense. But isn't putting perimeter dribble penetration pressure on the defense <i>precisely</i> why you would want a Steve Nash? A Chris Paul? A Deron Williams?<br />
<br />
Like I said, Nash can run any kind of offense. But there is such a thing as <i>highest and best use</i>. I don't see that principle being served in the decision to run the Princeton Offense with this Laker team.<br />
<br />

Of course, I don't agree with him. But there is no denying that the Nuggets are going to be a formidable contender. They have upgraded their defense, transition ability, and athleticism; three areas that weren't weak spots with them last year. They probably do have the most talented roster 1 through 12 in the West. JaVale McGee spent the summer training with Hakeem Olajuwon who simply raves about him. Andre Iguodala does not have to carry the scoring load; he's free to do the multiplicity of things he does very well and will also provide veteran leadership for this deep, talented and young team.<br />

Is he ready to take on the starring role for the Nash-less Phoenix Suns?<br />
<br />
The PG thinks so. Although this video really only shows him doing a lot of dunking on fast breaks. Both the Suns and the Rockets threw big money at PGs who have shown flashes of talent. Now they can only hope that, after being handed the reins, these guys can get the job done.<br />

Episode 34 of THE POINT GUARD Radio Program. The PG discusses Dallas Mavericks' owner, Mark Cuban's assessment of whether Darren Collison and O.J. Mayo will prosper in Dallas. Mr. Cuban seems to corroborate what The PG surmised in last week's show. The PG also offers Magic Johnson and Norm Nixon as one of the NBA's all-time best backcourt tandems.<br />

<br />
Nixon was my favorite Lakers player during the early years of their 80's dynasty. The Lakers of Nixon's tenure (with Jamal Wilkes, Bob McAdoo, and Michael Cooper and a young, fast Magic Johnson) were like pure-bred greyhounds in transition. It was this team for which the moniker "Showtime" originated. The Lakers after the Norm Nixon for Byron Scott trade (and with the drafting of James Worthy) became more half-court-oriented offensively and defensively, even though they would still run opportunistically with Magic in transition. The Lakers of Norm Nixon NEEDED a fast tempo in order to win. That made for some pretty exciting end-to-end action. Nobody <i>flowed </i> better than the Norm Nixon-era Lakers.<br />
<br />
The PG agrees with the author of this linked article that Nixon should be considered for the Hall of Fame and DEFINITELY should have his jersey hanging from the rafters. Nixon was easily among the top three Speed Point Guards (according to E. Pierce's 3 Styles of Point Guard Theory) that ever played the game at the NBA level.<br />
<br />
As a matter-of-fact, we have overlooked the Magic Johnson/Norm Nixon backcourt in our ongoing consideration of the great NBA Guard Tandems. I think we should rectify this situation on tonight's THE POINT GUARD Radio Program.<br />

Here is a collegiate Top Ten Ranking from NBADraft.net. Haven't heard of any of these guys, yet. But I'm sure that will change by mid-November. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This Ryan Harrow guy sounds intriguing. Taking Marquis Teague's place at Kentucky will make him highly visible on national television. Won't be surprised if he's a household name by mid-year. </span><br />
