    I do like the comparison of a cross between Kersey and Randolph when talking about Swanigan

    I hope Swanigan is our future 4. Love his size, touch, hustle and back story. Rooting for him big time. Or is it biggie time?

    Some good helpside defense by Swanigan, and Collins in their short stint.
    Swanigan and Collins also moved their feet defensively in the pick and roll. Leading to turnovers.

    Collins showing his one sure fire NBA skill he has right now. Helpside rim protection.

    Biggie has such good instincts and post moves. Still needs to develop them but any fool can see the quality.

    If I'm paying over 9 bucks for a warm cup of Coors you might as well make it Cat Piss... it would insult my sensibilities less.

    I like that he's not trying to force too much and seems to play within himself. And he works to get rebounds. He thinks he can get the rebound every time a shot goes up and he gets after it.

    I see him as a 5, not a 4. I'm not sure he has the lateral agility/quick feet to play the 4.

    I'd love to be proven wrong though.

    That about what you'd pay for a Large Soda at the movies playing at Century. Water is high but at least they aren't serving you tap water like in NE.

    It just depends on the matchup. Against the Favors/Zbos of the world he can play the 4.
