Almost every DLeague player has had some 30 point games, its a joke. If Farmer is halfway between Maggette and Ginobli, Alando Tucker should be halfway between Joe Johnson and Kobe based on his DLeague performances.
If what was posted elsewhere about Dragic not coming over is true, we need Livingston plus a player who can put in minutes now. Marbury would be ideal but who knows the status on him; we can't wait around for a player yet again and miss all other opportunities. I HATE the idea of Cassell or Stoudamire, but the only other way to get a PG that can actually play minutes and start a few is through a trade. I can't believe I'm finally half-suggesting one of those two washed up bozos.
I used to think that way too.
Then I watched Kurt Warner go from bagging grocery, cut from the Packers pratice squad, to a back up to Trent Green, to League MVP and Super Bowl Champ.
Had it not been for Rodney Harrison he may have never taken a snap...Warner was 27 in 1998.
27-32 is the avg prime physical years.
Stuff happens.
It's not just me that sees it:

He can do stuff in a way very similar to Manu. Skills.
Not just some 30 pt dleague games, many. 40 point games as well...
He has some intangibles too. Don't think Tucker has those.
If you watch the Raptors SL game VS Warriors you'll see it. Just ability other folks don't have.
