Mark Jackson: Monta is Third Best SG in NBA

Even though he was still wrapping up his broadcasting career, brand new Warriors coach Mark Jackson always found time to talk about his new team. Last week he said they’d make the playoffs next year, and now he has professed that Monta Ellis is the NBA’s third best shooting guard. Guess that means he’s off the trading block.

“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.”
