    I really like Randy Foye, and he has All-Star potential. I don't like that he has been somewhat buried behind veteran guards, but as of late he has really played good basketball. He was excellent in Houston the other night (I watched that game), and I guess he had a 17 point night before that. But Foye is going to be a player, he can do a lot of things offensively. You guys had an excellent draft in getting Foye and Smith.

    yeah the past couple of games he has become a 4th quarter assassin, I think he had 14 in the 4th against the clippers, then 11 the next game and he just had 9 in the 4th the other day. those were pretty much all the points he scored in the game though, I dont know why he only gets to play in the 4th and doesn't really do anything during the rest of the game. he is an explosive scorer though, hopefully he can play point guard though, we've had him there a lot when he is in the game. cant wait to see McCants and Foye at the 1 and 2 playing together, that will be insane

    That is very weird that Foye only plays a lot in the 4th. You'd think you'd want to play the rookie early on, and if he's doing well maybe play him in the 4th, no?

    But yes, Foye and McCants will be an excellent offensive combo in the future, I really can't wait to see those two together. But as of right now, I hope Randy Foye earns a starting job later on this year at the 2 (and have Ricky Davis at the 3), but I doubt it. Right now, he's a good scoring punch off the bench.

    Yeah, he almost single-handedly cut their deficit against the Mavs. We had that game won and it got really close really quickly because of him. Now that they're actually playing him, the talent is showing.

    Id like to see teams give rookies more of a chance, so what if you lose now? How can you say were rebuilding and want to make the playoffs? No one wants a rookie to turn into a Darko, yet they bring rookies up similiar to the way Darko was brought up, once they find they didnt play them enough, they get more of a chance.
