Starting to Wonder

I know the job of the Magic staff right now is to be vague about the Jameer Nelson situation but this John Denton article really has me wondering if we are going to see the little guy in the Finals...

From Florida Today:  "Nelson played four-on-four full-court basketball as recently as last week, and impressed Smith and Van Gundy with his ability to take contact and make shots. The Magic had veteran center Adonal Foyle set several hard screens on Nelson to see how he would react to getting hit, and Nelson showed no sign of shying away from the contact, Smith said."

Now Smith and SVG are absolutely correct that he will not be the same player he was 4 months ago but that is just common sense. Jameer at 50% is not only better than Anthony Johnson but the mental factor would have tremendous benefits for the team.

The next two days will be critical as Jameer will once again participate in a full contact practice. Not many teams have the oppurtunity to add a player of Jameer's caliber for the Finals. It is a tough call and the Magic have to balance the future of Jameer's career with the fact that you cannot take championship oppurtunities for granted.
