i guess his recent stellar play has earned him the starting spot.

Fine with me. Looks for his own shot too often for my liking and gets stuck in the air. Neither of which Jack is great at either but them's the breaks. Besides, it's not who starts, it's who finishes, right? Hopefully it'll show TJ what he needs to get done to get his gig back, namely you know, moving the ball instead of dribbling it.

Jack plays very steady. Doesnt excel at any single thing, but does a bit of everything. He is a smart player. I think he somewhat plays the role Steve Blake plays for the Blazers, smart pg who can keep the ball swinging.

I love Jack. L-O-V-E. LOVE.

i think tj seems to be a bit more selfish than jack, seeing how he can drive and finish around the rim better. i don't think he's a better overall player, just different.

He was a killer at GA Tech. He showed some bits of what he could do with the Blazers. Hopefully he can excel with the Pacers. He is a restricted free agent and I read that Larry Bird wants to keep him so we'll have to see what happens.
