From his play in the FIBA it looks to me he can earn a starting at the 3 over parker, he's a Mitchell-type-player he can dribble, shoot, and defend seems like mitchell's fantasy version of Matt Bonner

Outside of Ford and Bosh, I think the remaining starting gigs are up for grabs.

The early favourite to start at centre would obviously be Nesterovic, but if Bargnani pushes him hard, I doubt Sam would mind putting the kid in. Supposedly Mago was exhausted during summer league (part of the reason he didn't compete in the WC's) after a long Italian league season followed by playoffs and championships, along with the stress of the draft and becoming an overnight millionaire and international celebrity. So we really didn't see what he is made of despite flashes.

You have to figure one of the swing spots will be taken by Peterson but a strong showing by Jones, Parker, Garbajosa and/or Graham could change things a lot.

Colangelo has given us a team with a lot of interchangable talent. It will be really interesting to see how things play out.

i was thinking the exact same thing watching Jorge play, he seems to have that defensive tenacity and grit to be our defensive stopper as well. He seems to be fast enough to atleast keep up witht he smaller SF's ie carmelo and is strong enough to bang with the larger ones, ie Rashard Lewis. and come opening night i think Jorge will be the starter.

I dont think he will be a starter right away. Maybe close to the end of the season he will take the position. But i see Sam starting Mo.pete at 3 and Fred Jones at the 2, then near Feb time it will be Mo.pete at the 2 and Jorge at the 3

I don't know who will start, but I predict that Jorge will be on the court at the end of games when it matters the most
