I hope that Steve Nash is willing to take DJO under his wing and tutor him on how to play the point. DJO has the physical tools, but he needs to learn (A) to keep his dribble lower and closer, (B) to see the floor better and not force it, and (C) to run a team. 3 years of working with and listening to Nash can't hurt.
I don't think DJO will ever be a point guard in the NBA. I don't recall him playing a single minute of it in college.
Regardless of what position DJO plays in LA, playing with one of the best pure point guards this game has seen can only be beneficial.
The point guard position in the NBA has evolved. You see more combo guards and point-forwards than ever before. I can see DJO playing both guard positions. Look at the success Kyle Lowry has had in the league (he didn't play much point at Nova).
It's really cool to think MU has players in every big market city (Chicago, NYC, Miami, LA, Dallas).

Not to mention a coach in one of the other major markets in Boston. MU is doing pretty well for itself.

But Lowry had a handle. DJO doesn't for a PG.

In the most liberal sense of the word, it works ok for Brandon Jennings.

yeah but what about Stiemsma says Bo
Friday, 8:00pm est Golden St vs Lakers on NBATV. Lets see how DJO does.
Just saw the highlights. DJO for 3 points in a Laker loss. What the heck happened?
DJO played 23 minutes, shot 0 for 8 from field.
Lakers got clobbered by Warriors, losing by 40.
Lakers do not have a very good squad and announcers even said it. Laker players were just shooting bombs and missing, and missing. Observed DJO on some occassions being annoyed that no pass was made when he would be open. When he got the ball, he had to shoot because otherwise no chance. UGLY.
Warriors looked great, especially Harrison Barnes.
