    If Bayless can play like tonite, Blake is gone soon.

    I love JB - but I am not sure I agree. He brought the ball up, and attacked the rim - but in the half-court sets the one that seemed like he was trying to set others was Rudy, not JB.

    What I wonder is if JB is the one that will eventually replace Rudy on this team.

    ...so far, Bayless is a lesser version of J.Jack :dunno:

    True. But, he is young and he does need playtime which is hard to get on a team with Roy, Blake, Miller and Rudy as the other guards, especially when you consider that Web can play some 2 as well.

    Jack had more opportunity in his first half season than Bayless has received thus far in over a year. Don't let that cloud your judgment... Wait, it already has.

    ...I followed a lot of pac-10 ball as well, so my judgement includes those clouds as well . I truly hope he comes around, but I don't think he has the right mentality to be a PG...and his shot doesn't fall very often :confused:

    What does being a PG have to do with being a "lesser" version of Jarrett Jack? And if you follow college ball so closely, why was it not obvious to you that Bayless was light years ahead of Jack when comparing their freshman seasons?

    Bayless shot 40.7 percent from 3-point-range as a freshman in a very deep Pac-10. Give him a chance to get comfortable in a lineup(he has yet to be afforded that chance) and I'm sure his shooting will open your eyes.

    LMAO! You talk about all the tools necessary for a PG, and have an avatar of one of the lamest "fundamental" PGs ever to wear a Blazer uniform. Kinda made me laugh.
