Garbo was very successful (first year in the league), Parker played great (1st year back to the NBA), Bonner seems to be doing good in SA.

Moon is having a break out season.


Garbo was 28 when he came into the league, Parker about the same. Not exactly what I would call young players. And you talk about Bonner doing 'well' in SA, what does that have to do with Sam, he's playing for Popovich now.

I am saying that Bonner got his start under Sam and he is not out of the league. That is impressive for a 2nd rounder. Sam must of done something right since Matt is getting good minutes on a championship team.

As for Garbo and Parker, they needed to make their own adjustments when they came in to the league. Sam did not hurt their ability to show their stuff.
