<div align="center"> <div align='left'>Same deal as the Brook Lopez Q&A... <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I’ve always had that underdog mentality. Everybody’s always been looking at me and thinking that I can’t do things. So, I always have a chip on my shoulder with that. I do want to prove that I can do things in the NBA and that I can compete at the highest level and do my thing. I feel like I have a game that matches what the NBA wants. They need outside shooters and big guys that can spread the court, guys that can be real versatile. That’s the kind of player I am. Those guys are great players. We had so much talent in the PAC-10. They had a lot of press and hype growing through their experience. More power to them, I wish them the best of luck in the NBA. I’m going to keep working hard and doing my thing, be the best player I can be.</div> And here's a trend: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>ts great playing with guys like Marcus Williams who have had a lot of experience playing in the league. Playing with a guy like Marcus who’s eventually going to be dishing me the ball and someone who I’m going to be playing off of during the season.</div> NJNets.com </div> </div>
Marcus has a lot of experience in the league? This isn't a knock on Marcus, I just though he would have mentioned Harris first. I'm guessing they were probably on the same team. Ryan mentioning that Marcus will be "eventually dishing him the ball"... is that a hint that Marcus won't be traded? Heh. And I think people don't realize this: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Playing in the PAC-10 with guys like OJ Mayo, Brook (Lopez), Bayless, Love…all those guys were picked ahead of you but you lead the conference in scoring. Do you feel like you have something to prove out here?</div> Ryan led the Pac-10 in scoring at 21.1 per over these guys everyone!!!
Ryan's a cool dude. I sent him a congrats message on myspace and he accepted my request. Can't wait to see him start hitting some long shots for us.

Ryan is no dummy. Work the pg and you get the ball!
Lets not forget that Brook Lopez averaged 19 ppg. He's not like your usual Nets big man, the guy can score.

I don't think any Nets fan wants to see a player fail, it's just that after 2 seasons of poor performance it's understandable that the faith in this kid is being replaced by frustration. He's nearing Antoine Wright territory.

He's not a talented scorer who should be mentioned with Chase. If you wanna say that, then you might as well include Pat Christopher on Cal, who's just as talented a scorer as Hill, probably more so.
