Considering current range (6-8) my current board is 1. Wes Johnson 2. Greg Monroe 3. Xavier Henry.

My money given then those three is on Greg Monroe. High basketball IQ is a MAJOR forte with Bird in the rebuilding process the last two years. Starting with Rush and Hibbert, then with Hansborough. High basketball IQ = great intelligence with the ball and I think that's what Bird wants with his starting five.

My fear is that once he discovers an outside shot is he gonna become an all about me player, like a Steve Francis or Allen Iverson, and look to take over games with the ball in his hands.


I see what you're saying, but I still think it's unfair to down a guy just because he can shoot the ball. I mean, look at his stats. Dude averages 6.5 APG. That's almost 2 more than that Earl Watson averages for us.

Guys like AI and Francis were never true PG's. They were SG's in PG bodies. Wall actually PLAYS the point. He looks to get the ball inside. He looks for open teammates. He simply has the ability to shoot, drive, and finish at the basket.

Steve Nash can shoot the ball. Lights out. In fact, according to some metrics he's the best shooter of all time.

Also, John Stockton.

Also Chris Paul, and Deron Williams.

Fair enough, I just have a crush on Wes Johnson lately. Watching the tourney now and he's doing it again!
