JB Bickerstaff Rumors
Michael Wallace: Bickerstaff today on starting Avery Bradley right away at SG: “That’s who he is. He’s an NBA starter for sure. He’s put in a ton of time and years. The most impressive thing to me is his willingness & ability to defend. He is, by far, one of best perimeter defenders in our game.”
Bickerstaff said Saturday that when Parsons comes back, “he’s a part of the team like anybody else.” Bickerstaff added, “he’s still a part of the team and we’ll treat him that way.”
David Cobb: J.B. Bickerstaff on Jaren Jackson Jr. in light of Marc Gasol’s departure. “We’re giving him that rope. We’re giving him the freedom to do more.”
Mark Giannotto: Marc Gasol will not play tonight. JB Bickerstaff would not specify why. Draw your own conclusions.
