    He's basically a higher volume version of Turner without the passing, rebounding, or defense. Basically, a poor man's Rudy Gay. He can get hot, but is usually very inefficient.

    He's the most overrated player in the league in my opinion. Loves the midrange, and settles for shots when he could get to the rim whenever he wants. Has the tools to be a great defender and rebounder, but isn't good at either.

    He's the reason experts have been wrong when they predict the T'Wolves to take the next step. It's because they factor him in as a catalyst for team success, when he usually makes his team worse when he's on the floor.

    it makes sense. He is basically the same size as Nerlens Noel.

    I was as wrong as Vonleh as I was about The Strokes having a short career.

    Other than Meyers, I don't think I've ever heard Kingspeed say anything bad about any Blazer player. And even then, it was a few passing comments.

    He ripped on Turner terribly at the beginning of the year.

    There are times during this game I wished Junpei mistook his Evoker for a real handgun.
