From Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports:
Hollins has two talented young guards, Mike Conley and O.J. Mayo, he has planned to start. While Hollins told Iverson the lineup will be determined in training camp, he does believe Iverson’s decision to sign with Memphis was a sign he’d be willing to accept a reserve assignment. He thinks Iverson could have an impact off the bench similar to San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili or other famous sixth men like John Havlicek and Michael Cooper. The odds are Iverson at least begins the season in that role.
“It’s not about how well he performs in training camp,” Hollins said. “It’s about how he helps the team. Sometimes you can get the most from people off the bench with the second team.
“I’m looking at weighing all options. If A.I. has a great camp, he will start if it’s best to utilize him that way.”
UPDATE: Iverson says he can win a championship in Memphis.
