Well I wasn't mentioning Bledsoe as a comp; actually I would compare Brown to Gilbert arenas, only with better D. I think Brown has better potential as point guard than Oladipo (I still don't agree with the Magic's plan for him).

Gotcha. I don't really see either (Dipo/Brown) as a PG, but that remains to be seen. I know Brown is only about 6'3" so it'll be interested to see where he measures in wingspan. I've been really underwhelmed by this years potential class so far. Brown, McDermott, Ennis, Smart, Embiid, Parker, and the UCLA kids are the only ones worth noting.

I like Gordon, and he reminds me a lot of Marion. I could see him playing the role of a great #3 on a team and getting his points and rebounds without being the "man" on a team. Now, if he can improve his outside shot...

Then you haven't watched him play because he likes to think he's Lebron at times (said himself he can play point guard but can't)... I do agree that Marion is the kind of player he actually is and would be very good at that role, but I don't think he knows that yet. Plus he's shooting a horrendous 45% from the stripe.

I agree that he doesn't see himself in that role, but it's the role he should embrace. Perhaps he doesn't, and his career flops. He is better ball handler and passer than Marion, but he still needs a lot of work. His shooting form isn't bad or ugly like Marion's, but he doesn't seem to be as good of an outside shooter. He better figure that part out, and quickly. I don't seem him as a Griffin clone as a lot of people compare him to.

'Bone, In2, Ring, Charles, and Erri, what's up y'all?? I'm glad everyone's migrating over, it almost feels like home again. It just hasn't been the same since .NET went down.

Immigration or invasion ? 8-)

welcome to the chunder-dome. You might as well get used to the rules. Not quite as flexible here.

I'm going to mind my Ps and Qs. I don't want a night in the box.

I want to thank Calipari for tanking Poythress' stock this season.

With the 30th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns select....
