i hope Ammo lives up to his potential this season. do you guys think he can crack the starting lineup or just be another specialist in LB's roster?

I reloaded during my first post, doh. It's for the best, less wordy this way.

-Someone ought to be slightly stoked to see Marcus Williams's name on the roster, Spectre maybe?

-Andre Brown hasn't been awesome anywhere, but he has made the roster of two post challenged teams. 3/3?

-I'm not sure what the FO's ranking would be, but my personal choice would be Brown, Taylor, Williams. I liked Marcus as a prospect out of Arizona, but I don't see where he'd ever get minutes at the 3. Taylor should rarely see the floor if he's on the roster, but I can see circumstances where DJ/Felton gets injured or when playing against a team with a big backcourt where he could be usefull. I'm really not impressed with Brown, but I can't honestly say I've ever seen him on the court (ever), so maybe he can surprise. Plus, we're always just a couple of All You Can Eat/Lapdance combos away from needing another 4...

i think we will be watching cuts from other teams as camp goes on or maybe keeping an eye on a few remaining FAs. i cant imagine williams, brown or taylor actually making the team.

where is LBs girlfriend kyle hines? orien green? what is the point of having guys like that come to summer league if we dont bring any of them back for training camp. i thought green deserved a look.

i think the best case scenario for ammo this season would be a 6th man role.

That would be me Walt. I was high on the kid going into the season and thought when all was said and done he might be a top 10 draft pick - then he had a poor'ish season and fell off the draft radar. I like the way he played a lot at Zona - knid of reminded me of a poor mans Grant Hill.

I'd love him to get a spot on our roster - if we didn't already have a zillion SF's.

Ah, I knew it was one of the 'S' guys.

Fats, I don't think Greene has signed anywhere (internationally or otherwise), so I agree that it's weird we don't have him around in Taylor's place. Those guys are physically pretty similar iirc, Greene seems to have some actual PG skills though.
