    I give Joe a lot of credit for bringing Mike Schmitz onto his staff....we're going to keep finding gems with this guys data base.

    I think Chauncey already knows what he has in Walker. I think what he wants to determine is if Brown is going to improve much.

    If Brown ever develops an outside shot he will be a very good player. But we can say that about a lot of players.
    I do love his energy.

    GB3 is like a puppy on a hike, he is full of energy and every once in a while does stuff everyone enjoys, but you can't expect him to lead the way.

    what I like is he’s not a ball watcher on offense, he’s always looking for opportunity. Couple of these clips him and another player are at 3 pt line someone drives and instead of sitting at 3 pt line he makes cut behind defense and gets a dunk. Good instincts!

    I gotta think the Colorado connection helped JW's chances. Hopefully he develops.

    Bryant was a bruising rebounder. Walker is a 3 pt marksman

    Yeah he can rebound. But he can do more than just rebound is what I’m getting at.

    Terry Mills is my comp for Walker

    Take that for DATA!

    That’s selling Walker short, he was a top 25 rebounder in all of college basketball last season.

    He's looked very good. I'm not sure why he isn't playing more.

    i think he's caught even the coaching staff off guard. hetzel was commenting on it yesterday after the game about how they expected him to be a pretty much a 3pt shooter. He also said that he's making no mistakes and that he's forcing coaches to keep him on the floor. That's terrific feedback for a 57th pick.
