    His brand? Get some playing time first Pat. You could then sell yourself as a modern day Dan Marjerle. That dude got so much ass it wasn't even funny.

    I'm real psyched to see if he's able to do anything at summer league this year. Last year he looked ok for a bit but was quickly out shined by Allen Crabbe. It'll be interesting to see how a year sitting on the bench has changed him. He didn't have much in the way of handles and everyone was thinking that 44 inch vertical had to be some sort of mistake because he sure didn't look that athletic.

    He's the next Crabbe. But if I'm wrong, he better hurry up and fail in the NBA, because then he has about 2 years to get injured in the NFL before he starts his MLB career.

    I think Pat will surprise the doubters..he's got skills and he's got a great motor. Several players have mentioned how much progress he and Montero made their rookie season. Our garbage time rooks outplayed other teams garbage time rooks last season. We need a garbage time award in the NBA!

    In before BGD renames the MIPIGTMs the "Jermaine O'Neal All-Stars" and passive-aggressively yells at us for deeming them "untouchable."

    He could play baseball for the O's. I'm an O's fan. We had not seen much of him this year and if he was let go many would not notice. I watched him during the tournament and he is a really good college basketball player.
