Stephon Marbury: Wants to Play Off Guard

Update: Marbury has told Knicks coach Larry Brown that he feels he'd be more effective playing off the ball, the New York Daily News reports.
Recommendation: "He told me he wanted to play off guard," Brown told the New York Daily News. "Well, it's not that easy right now. What are we going to invent a point guard? He told me he wanted to play like the way I used Allen (Iverson). Well, I had Eric Snow, Larry Hughes, Aaron McKie. It's a little different now." Brown also commented that the Knicks ran 15 pick-and-roll plays for Marbury in their loss to the Lakers on Wednesday, suggesting that his system is not the reason Marbury scored just four points. Perhaps this clash between hall-of-fame coach and star player will inspire general manager Isiah Thomas to acquire an actual NBA point guard -- something in short supply on New York's roster currently.
