Mike Forde of the New York Post reports that the Nets have three players fighting for two roster positions. Brian Scalabrine, Brandon Armstrong and Tamar Slay may be competitors, but there?s no animosity between the three.

"When you're trying to win a championship, you don't have time worrying about trying to beat a guy out," Scalabrine said.

Each player brings his own set of skills to the table. Scalabrine is 6-8, 240 and strong enough to bang with the big men. "I work out, lift weights, I do all I can do," said Scalabrine, who has the bulk advantage over the three. "Whatever the coaches want us to do is going to determined where we're positioned."

Armstrong is mainly a shooting guard, but worked all summer on improving his point guard skills. This may come in handy with the injury to Chris Childs. "It looks like I might have to go out there and play both positions," said Armstrong. "Hopefully, I can do it well and that would give me a little more time at that position."

Slay is a 6-9 shooting guard who loves the up-tempo style of the Nets and the physical tools to play the run-and-gun game.

"All three of those guys have had their moments and all three have had their times when they haven't played well," said coach Byron Scott. Scalabrine and Armstrong are the front-runners, Scott said, but only because they each have a year of experience.
