They are playing Gallo, Lee, Jeffries, Al, and Chandler at ambiguous positions. That's how it works when you have Steve Nash. What was different about the position that Q, Johnson, or Diaw played? Not much. We have Duhon. When Duhon was actually playing point he was not getting into the paint to kick out, and wasn't running plays with Chandler. Now with Hughes handling and Gallo initiating offense Duhon pretty much stands in the corner.
What I saw in the first couple of games was Wilson taking shots with a guy a couple of feet away that he needs to take when the defender is 6 feet away. Why is he taking those shots? Something tells me Wilson's not playing for a contract, he's playing for a system, a system with a broken point guard.
If you have a guy who can bring the ball up, defend four positions, and hit open shots and finish when he has the lane then you keep him on the floor. It's the job of the point guard to put him in position to use those skills. Trevor Ariza was once this player for us. Actually he wasn't this skilled at the time. If he played for the Hornets he'd be putting up 20 a game right now. He'll be able to do it on his own soon enough.
Either Wilson or the coaching staff or both has been correcting what we saw early on. He has been getting more efficient by the game and looked back to his usual self last game.
Take a deep breath on this kid. He does a lot of things for us, and did them all last year. He's not a player to panic about after a couple of games when the whole team was in chaos.

Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)
is starting him at Power fwd. It makes more sense cuz it changes his focus. He made a few big man moves yesterday and proved hes strong enough to man up with the big men of the league. He battled New Orleans guys pretty good....just not overly effective....All I gotta say is thank God Al Harrington is on the team.
