Three comments. First, Rosen has always been a Phil Jackson "nuthugger", so that clearly influences some of his opinions. Second, Rosen was the first person I know of who called out Carlisimo as a fraud and a rotten coach. (and this was when he was still with the Blazers) Third, I seem to recall Rosen correctly predicting that Sheed would be a much better player in Detroit, when he was no longer surrounded by "knuckleheads." I think it safe to say, he knows vets much better than young players. As a scout of young talent, he pretty much stinks!
Did you, or did you not read the part where I said the two things currently limiting his PT, fouls and conditioning, are both correctable? Just wanted to make sure you saw it that time. BNM
Anyone could predict he'd play better on a good team. He wouldn't have done shit where we traded him to.
Good find on that Simmons quote. So, all the while I was giddy with delight at the terrific rookie season Brandon was having for our previously hapless franchise, I was fooling myself? Wow. Was I a fool. And here I thought Brandon was great for a rookie, never worried about his shot or handles. Never for a second thought his true position was Small Forward. And what an idiot I was to think how great he was going to be once officials started giving him some calls. Wow. I stand corrected. Thank you Charlie for your insight, wisdom and.....genius.
