Stan Van Gundy sounds like he might finally be willing to make a switch at point guard, indicating after practice Friday that Ish Smith might start in place of the struggling Reggie Jackson against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
Jackson has struggled all season after missing the first 21 games recovering from knee tendonitis. The explosiveness he relies on to get to the hoop, particularly in the pick and roll, has been absent all season.
Jackson has a net rating of -9.2 per 100 possessions, which is almost comically bad.
