    Let me get back on topic instead of correcting people's vernacular! I've always wanted to get this kid. He runs the floor. He can finish on the break. His defense on and off the ball are >= Nic's. And can we just pick him up for that BEAST MOVE he gives BEARDO in the post here? Batum would NEVER do that to anyone!

    You know, I am surprised he isn't a better shooter. His form doesn't look broken or anything......then again, neither did Claver's

    I would be fine with Aminu, but we need another volume scorer in the rotation. If it's at center, great. If it's at shooting guard, great.

    Sometimes it's completely psychological. Telfair, for example, had great form. He could hit a shot from 20 feet no problem, but as soon as he stepped behind the three point line he was garbage. It was like he was completely psyched out about attempting an NBA three pointer.

    I am fine with him because we need at least one defender in the lineup. If not SF then C (Hibbert) would be my guess.

    Love the post up spin dunk against Harden. Can he post up, or is it just because Harden was guarding him.

    That spin came out of a face up jab step. I just love how he went to the rack STRONG. Something Nic rarely did....
