You're welcome.
I love reading old threads like this where the 'experts' are so sure of themselves.
Much like the Bargnani threads a year ago.

If we had picked him, while Bosh is on our team and on the floor, there's no way he would get anywhere near 50 points because of the way our offense goes through Bosh 75% of the time. Like DeRozen, he would be the 5th option on offense. On the Buck's team, with no Redd, it's easy to understand how they would let the rookie take 34 shots.


He probably wouldn't score 50 but he definetly wouldn't be our 5th option. Not because Triano would would incorporate him in our offence, but because Jennings would pulled a Jamie Foxx in Any Given Sunday and call his own number.

haters eat their words...so many people were knocking this guy during the draft because of his "attitude" and etc...guess he was right when he said he would embarrass rubio.

True, he seems to like to take things into his own hands -- but that doesn't mean he'd be a higher option, if "option" means choice. If you watch the highlights, it looks like he was jacking up a lot of shots coming down the floor early in the shot clock without looking to get teammates involved, not usually how you want your PG to play. Apparently why he's not the kind of team player BC was looking for, besides the fact we already have 2 established PGs. Still, having a guy who can drop 50 would be pretty exciting

I don't follow enough, so I don't have any opinion, but from looking at Rubio, I haven't seen anything that impressive.

Yeah, way to go out on a limb and take a committed position there ... sure makes hindsight a lot easier.
