I don't know how quick he'll adjust to the next level, and there may be some bad days at the office, but you'll love the kid's heart. People know him this year for his game-winning shots (and the title), but he also fights big men for rebounds, dives after loose balls, and he's fearless. He's got a little bit of New York brashness to him, but he's not obnoxious. He's just a competitor. He'll leave it all out there, to use a cliche.

I've been praying all week that he would fall to us. Other than Kyrie, I think this guy has a chance to be a special player. Good character, extremely hard working and very smart, perfect MJ type player. And now we can dump DJ! Yay! Sorry but I could not go through another season with DJ as our starting point guard with nobody here to challenge him.

This little man can ball. Hopefully he turns out a wee bit more talented than Felton.

A great player to draft!

What's funny is that I had lunch with Terrence Ross' agent yesterday. We talked about every possible scenario. Toronto never came up.

Loved him in college. I was the only one amongst my friends that had UCONN winning it all in our Yahoo Bracket Challenge. I chose them because of what Kemba did in the Big East tourney. This kid is a winner. I knew Jordan wanted him and he got him.

My knock with him is the size and shooting ability. He has no control over height but he has been working on his jumper right after he got done with the NCAA tourney.
