Those guys would be perfect for the 16th and 17th spots on the roster, the new "two-way" contracts.
No, I think they actually make the 'big club' along with Nader.  J. Bird and K. Allen are good for 16 and 17.

D. Jackson could be odd man out.  Just too short.

He's the only "true" point guard on the team other than Isaiah. Everyone else might be considered a combo. This is important since we don't know when Isaiah will be back. So, maybe he'll stick?
Possibly, however, how important is it to have a true point guard these days?  Stevens himself doesn't use the term.  The team has several guys who can bring the ball up, and some pretty good (not great) passers.  In fact, having great passing bigs may be more important in his system.

"Great passing bigs", exactly.  But more than that, Brad has Horford, Olynyk, and Jerebko up top making decisions.  Although that doesn't necessarily lead to assists for them personally, it's one of the reasons that Boston has so many assists in the possessions they have.

What about Zizic? I think that many have unreasonable hopes about his playing time - but he's been a non-passer and a poor passer so far in his career.
