    Rush had 18 points, 7-9 shooting, 4 boards, 2 steals in 27 minutes.

    Not bad for the rookie

    I liked Rush as a prospect. He seems to be a good glue guy.

    As for Rush I was actually pretty happy with his selection on draft night until it became apparent that we were trading him for Jerryd. He's probably going to be a pretty solid wing.

    Mayo will do this constantly for his rookie year. I expect a lot of poor shot selection from him this season.

    I think Rush will be a good solid rotation player, too.. but Bayless has a lot more potential and could be a star in this league. It was still a good trade.

    Joe Alexander - 0-6 from the field last night, 2 points, 1 board, 2 assists in 17 minutes. Something tells me this kid is gonna be a bust. Boy am I glad we didn't draft him.

    He seemed to raw for my liking. I think his potential would be better than Outlaw's, but they are gonna have to be really patient for him to develop.

    Something about Mayo screams 'Ricky Davis' to me.

    Also, Roy Hibbert is a lot more athletic and explosive with the weight loss. He looks like a completely different player now that he's more agile.

    Rush is going to be solid. However, Bayless is still the vastly superior prospect. Rush is by far the best player of the Rush brothers. He reminds me of Caron Butler.
