    Mo is an undersized chucker, a Damon Stoudamire type of player. Batum is at least a good player at this point who just makes a lot of stupid mistakes, which can be fixable theoretically. A lot of his turnovers are due to taking dumb risks and lazy passes with the ball. He is also a dreadful mid-range shooter. If he kept his head in the game and played smarter dare I say he could be an all-star caliber player.

    How is he limited? He can shoot from range, get to the basket, he's working on his floater. He doesn't take as many jumpers... he's one of the best FT shooters in the league... his one glaring weakness is on the defensive side of the ball... his offensive game is coming along great.

    Agree 100%, I think next year is the year he will put it all together. Plus he sounds hungry too which is awesome.

    If you guys watch a Stampede game, you can see the talent. As I said in that thread, we should replace the current Blazer roster with the Stampeders. Kick all these overpaid blowhards out of town.

    Now that you're King Crabbe, it's not enough? You also want to be the Pied Piper of Boise?

    Yep. Even if we had won, I'd of still said it. They were atrocious.

    WE lost the 18 point lead. I want to make that clear, but it doesn't make the piss-poor officiating any less reprehensible.

    He's not a great ball-handler. More often than not he struggles to get past his defender. And as we've seen A LOT lately, he can't handle a P/R when the big jumps the screen. He's a great shooter, but aside from that he's an average starting PG.
