Wheaties are gross, toasted wheat sucks unless you're a horse. Don't they know such cereals are inedible unless you add chocolate, or a sugary glaze, or captains and/or crunch?

I told myself I wouldn't get excited about how well Brewer has been playing in these games, but I can't help it

I haven't gotten to watch the games, but the box scores are very impressive

From what preason is showing us, it looks like Corey Brewer is a very good learner. Hopefully he keeps learning from the players on the team and like Miller for his shooting, McCants and Craig Smith for condition and building strength, and Telfair for his dribbling. If he could put all these together Brewer could have a shot at being a star.

he took a step back last game though

lost his handle on a simple crossover too, so he's still not there yet

I do agree it will take awhile for him to develop, but for him to improve his shooting this much, even if is only preseason is very impressive.

I think a real big test for him will be when he hits a cold stretch, will we still see the confident player, or will he regress

I like the shooting, that's huge. If he starts shooting consistently, then he's pretty much gonna be a starter for just about half the teams in the league.

How foolish of me... and here I was thinking we took OJ Mayo with the 3rd pick and then traded him for the 5th pick...

So... for all intents and purposes Oj Mayo is the 3rd pick

I think Love could eat Brewer in three bites

I'd put McCants at the top of the list as he is playing to prove he is worth a new deal either here or elsewhere.

Foye next he has to prove he can play the point or he risks drifting to 6th man status next year with their being a number of point/combo guards around in next years draft we could take in our likely position.

Al. Is he a franchise type or a second option, his passing and defense will decide.

Brewer is he looking more like a Bowen type ( defense plus enough offense to stay on the court) or a Collins type (defense but such a liability on offense you can't play him much)
