I'm not a big fan of Jackson's either.  But against decent teams, Jackson at least gives you more defense and rebounding.  And, frankly, dribbles better.,  But who cares who starts?  None of Martin, Jackson or Hawkins is leaving the rotation, and how much any plays any game will depend how much they are contributing.

You've never seen me play basketball.  I can play worse than Gaffney.  The thought that any player "can't" simply "because" is stupid.  Sorry, but it is.  Gaffney is a decent back up combo guard.  We know he can get to the hoop sometimes.  We know he can hit 3s and foul shots at a decent percentage.  And he doesn't play defense like a freshman.  Is he a true point guard?  No, he's not.  But he has contributed to plenty of wins over the last two plus years, and until Diggins shows he can contribute to plenty of wins there is no reason to think he should be taking Gaffney's minutes.  The fact that Bouknight wasn't inserted into the starting lineup quick enough for you is not a rational reason why Diggins should be starting.
