AboveLegit Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 "I want Monta Ellis on this basketball team," Jackson told reporters at his introductory news conference. "This guy is a big-time player. And I think he's the third best shooting guard in the league. You have Kobe, obviously, and Dwyane Wade. I will match [Ellis] up against anybody else on a given night and feel extremely comfortable about it." Jackson did admit that Ellis could improve defensively. "You can nitpick what he can and can't do, but at the end of the day, a coach will look brilliant if he has a guy who can go make a play," Jackson said. "He's a flat-out scorer. He's a much-improved, underrated passer and facilitator. He's a guy I embrace on this team . . . He's an outstanding player who I look forward to coaching."Read more: http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/214098/Jackson_Ellis_Ranks_As_NBAs_Third_Best_SG#ixzz1PBffQowz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
