Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Current players that could coach?

According to Chris Wallace (Grizzlies GM) in an article by Paul Forrester over at SI.com:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/paul_forrester/01/09/players.coaches/2.html

Steve Blake: "Energetic, heady and a consummate gym rat, he's made himself into a player," Wallace said of the Trail Blazers' starting point guard. While a national title at Maryland helped Blake get into the NBA, his work while in the league has made him a success, despite not being a first-round pick.

When he was at Maryland
I vaguely remember reading some little fluffy thing about him, in which he stated when his playing days ended he would be very interested in coaching.

I'd say the Griz GM's assessment is quite fair.

Someone commented
that LMA sounds like a future coach.  (I think it was Casey, or possibly Dave.)  Someone else has said the same about James Jones.  

I wouldn't be surprised to see Jarrett Jack as a coach someday.

Seriously though
I agree with the Blake write up, also could see coaching in the future for James Jones and Brandon Roy.
