Excerpt:
Let me put it this way. What if I told you that there's this guy; he's a shooting guard by nature, a little undersized at 6'3 and change, but:
* has the handles and decision-making skills to run the point competently.
* shoots the spot-up three at a clip over percent.
* can break down his defender and either get to the hoop or hit the mid-range jumper with deadly accuracy off the dribble.
* can post up and abuse most pg's and smaller guards (he looked like he was going to abuse Ben Gordon for 40 the game he broke his wrist).
* can lock down against dribble penetration and is strong enough to force taller guards out of their spot in the post.
* on top of all that he's going to be the funniest guy in any locker room.
To quote Bob from entourage, is that something you'd be interested in?
