PGOTF? Seriously, though. He reminds me of Sergio with a gorgeous jumper. If we could combine Armon's height and tenaciousness on D, we'd have a super pgotf. Edit: I don't think people are seeing that I was sarcastic.
Then we play Armon! Play him for a week or so until he gets scouted, and then replace him with Patty. It's the perfect solution
DING DING... NIK!!! Thats exactly it. We thought johnson looked great too. Need to see Mills vs good defensive teams when scouting report comes out. However hes BY FAR a superior offensive player over johnson. Its not close. AND im telling you... give mills that corner 3. I saw him make 11 in a row with ease in boston at halftime. He can stroke that shit from the corner. But yes... all about he handles scouting reports.
Well on the one hand Armon did rack up 3 dimes in 4 minutes of play tonight ... so it's not like all is lost for the kid. But frankly both of these guys need a ton more seasoning. D-league stints for both would be a good idea.
I don't think you realize how many NBA players can do that. Sebastian Telfair was money from beyond the arc.... during warmups.
Compared to Armon Patty is quicker with the ball in his hands and has a better handle imo. He can also hit the 3pt shot and has a better pull-up jumper as well. Armon is pretty slow with his shot. It looks like keeping Patty was a good move.
Armon and Patty remind me of a broke man's versions of Greg Anthony and Damon Stoudamire, respectively. I'm glad we have both of them; they combined for 10 assists tonight!
There is also a good chance that Mills actually gets better after playing more. With more time he may be more relaxed and confident with his shot. Sure I guess scouting will tell teams not to leave him open, but they already know that. He spreads the floor, he is quick, and he can shoot when open, that part won't change.

For chrissakes, I feel like I could create a timekeeping system when it comes to this fanbase and proclaiming "PGOTF." You guys are really going to do this aren't you? I feel badly for the kid, he doesn't know he's about to be eviscerated in a couple of weeks.
I don't like the fact that he almost seems to jump into his jumpshot. It looks to take too much time just to get it off.
Might want to check your sarcasm detector there, Nik. I was clearly being facetious when I started this thread.
