<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Q. Given that he is athletic, has the ability to get to the basket and is able to defend the more physical guards around the league, is it possible the Pacers are looking at Marquis Daniels to fill the starting point guard role next year? How did he perform at the point when he was asked to do so with the Mavericks? If it is not a possibility, what are the Pacers best options through free agency or trade? (From Darin in Sullivan, Ind.) A. The idea of Daniels as a point guard has intrigued management since he was acquired a year ago but a variety of circumstances ? primarily the injury that kept him out the entirety of training camp and the preseason ? set him back and he was never able to earn the confidence of former Coach Rick Carlisle at the point. It appears new Coach Jim O'Brien will take a look at Daniels in a variety of rules, possibly including the point. While with Dallas, he did fill in as a starter on a few occasions and fared well. As for external options, if a change is to be made at the point it most likely will need to come via trade, because the Pacers don't have much money to spend in free agency. The draft is a possibility, although more as a long-term option.</div> Source: Pacers.com
