Always good to see optimism I guess. Spanouliss certainly has the tools to be a Nash-like player, and his speed can be exploited even more if he works on his shot.
He has better court vision than Skip does. I'll go ahead and say it. His passes are on time and he breaks the defense down better than Skip. His turnovers are a problem, but he's gonna only get better.

In a moment of unrestrained giddiness, Yao compared Rockets guard Billy Spanoulis to Steve Nash. Upon hearing this, coach Jeff Van Gundy turned to the cinder block wall behind him and hit his head against it. </div> I hope Vspan does change into a Parker-type player.
