Clippers want to keep Jaric if the price is right

http://www.latimes.com/sports/basket...ck=3&cset=true

Quote:
The Clippers have made it clear that Shaun Livingston is their point guard of the future, a potentially "special player," as Dunleavy has said time and again. But, if the price is right, they still hope to retain Marko Jaric, who will be a restricted free agent July 1, and continue playing him at both guard positions.
Quote:
"He's versatile and very much needed," Dunleavy said. "I look at him, he's a Danny Ainge-type of player. Danny could play [point guard], he could play [shooting guard]. He could shoot it. He's active defensively. He's athletic. He does a lot of things. And that's who I think Marko is."

It says in the article that Jaric is athletic. From what I've seen of Jaric, he does not seem very athletic compared to the majority of the NBA players at his position. Maybe I haven't seen enough to make a fair judgement though.

Re: Clippers want to keep Jaric if the price is right

He has some good first step quickness. He is a pretty good athlete. Great at getting in the passing lanes. Compartitively he is not that athletic becuase of his size and his matchups make him look slow. But with a 6'7"/8" frame as a point guard - that is athletic right there. He is extremely long, and has good hops. It is just the fact that he is so big - and playing a smaller mans position.

The one problem Jaric has always had is bringing the ball up the court, he was dribbles with his back towards the basket being afraid he will lose the ball to the opponent.

I dont think you have seen enough. He is very athletic, and a very energetic defender and ball mover. His injurys arent from being unathletic, they are just his inherit disposition I suppose. Even towards the end of the game if he has played most of the entire game, he still looks energetic and excited about being on the court. This of course is not saying anything about the decisions he makes on the court, or his Baller IQ, its just a note on his fitness.

I think if he can get his injurys under control (if thats possible), maybe work with a better conditioner, he could be a great back up PG. And at this point hands down he is a MUCH better defender than Livingston. Although thats mianly do to the fact that he has more NBA experiance.

If the price is right, they should get him if it doesnt get in the way of other purchuses. If not, you can bet that the Lakers, or a like minded team lacking in the PG position will more than likely take him on for the price and risk his injury prone nature.

I dont know if I want him back or not some times I do and other times I dont. If he came back cheap not over 3mil then I dont see a problem.

For me it just depends on rather or not he could stay healthy. I most of us can admit that he shows moments of great talent. (I know everyone is going to go back to the airball for the win, jesus.. If I had a dollar for everytime anyone on the clippers this season blew a game winner, I'd be a rich man). Durning the peroid when he returned middle of the season when Livingston was out. He looked very good after the first couple games, and played 9-10 games in a row with great numbers including the game winning shot in two games. He has shown talent, its his health that concerns me. When we already have one potientail PG that can become injury prone in livingston, getting two seems careless and stupid when that PG has not even proven himself to be well above average. That being said, it would make me said if he went to the Lakers or some team like that and played all year and had some amazing games.

I guess its one of those dark horse questions. Either way holds a potiential nightmare.
