C.J. Watson: Starting at Point For the Warriors.
Watson will start at point guard for the Warriors first preseason game, the Contra Costa Times reports.
Watson is quicker and a better defender than Marcus Williams and could be the starter when the regular season begins. Warriors coach Don Nelson announced that Corey Maggette, Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington and Andris Biedrins will round out the starting five for Sundays preseason opener.

Stephon Marbury: Competing With Chris Duhon.
Marbury has been better than Chris Duhon throughout the first week of training camp, but Knicks coach Mike DAntoni is leaning toward Duhon as his starting point guard, the New York Post reports.
DAntoni will bring Marbury off the bench as a wing player, who can handle the ball and more importantly score the ball. But the bench role could change, if the Knicks need more scoring from the first unit. Marbury is a better scorer and penetrator than Duhon, but also gives coaches more headaches than Duhon.
