    Sure, why not? Former Cal player and Pac-12 Conference Player of the Year. I hear the going rate is $75 million over 4 years.

    Yes, but probably in Europe.

    He is 28, so that's something to bear in mind comparing him with rookies. But he definitely adds something we lack: a PG who can defend. But working against him: we're paying Turner a fortune to be our backup PG, and Shabazz Napier is a much better scorer and therefore probably more suited to Stotts's system.

    Except Jorge can do two things (pass and defend) instead of just one. Guess the price will go up.

    I think he has more natural PG abilities than Francis. From what I remember of Francis, he was more of a SG that was forced to play the point because of his size.

    Smith is the real deal. I caught just one of his college games before I was sold that he could be a star in the NBA.

    Man, I was so convinced Bay Rex was the PGOTF. I remember for most of the year Bayless was projected to go 4th and Westbrook projected to go 13th (to us, hahaha). I thought we were so lucky being able to trade up to 11 to draft him.

    I believe that stat referencing Love, Griffin and Speights was for rookies.

    Biggies well rounded game. Reminds me of mini-Nurk at times. Nice post game, nice shot, but rebounding and passing where outstanding.

    Layman really impressed me too. His shooting percent was low but his defense looked very good, and his ball handling and aggressive drives where nice as well. If he could get that shot to fall more consistently I could see him starting at SF or PF. His form looks nice generally, but looks like h is rushing and his body isn't vertical at times.

    Yeah Jake is a little streaky right now with the 3 ball, but you can see his potential. The rest of his game is what impressed me. He really teases us in every phase of his game. He is so close in terms of defense, rebounding, blocked shots, attacking the basket, passing, handles.........The guy could start or be out of the league in a couple of years. It could either way. I am optimistic but not totally convinced. I do want him to get minutes though

    I Swanigan got to guard I believe Blue out on the premimeter and wasn't very good. But playing what 6 games in 8 nights I could see his legs could have been heavy. But this again can be work on. Overall pretty good job on the other teams bigs.
