Those Snell highlights made me think of a skinnier version of Latrell Sprewell. I'm not saying he'll be as good as Spree, but who knows.

Is it just me or does Snell look like a crack head?

Nah, he's way to skinny. Take a look at Rob Ford, now there's your crack head! :wink:

He's a better shooter.

Does this mean The Bulls drafted a crackhead shooting guard who starred in "The Wire"?

Snell would look good in a Kings uniform.

Damn it. We should have gotten another first rounder.

Tony Snell is freaking awesome. His threepointshot is silky smooth, but this guy has the handle to attack the rim as well. His midrange pull-up looked good against the Cavs. Great wingspan as well but does need to bulk up.

Bulls are a perfect fit for him and I can't wait until he plays with Jimmy Butler.

Plumlee still seeing good minutes for Brooklyn. Think he's sitting pretty near the top of all rookies in PER but I'm not entirely sure.

His offence is all dunk dunks and put backs right now but the kids crazy athletic.

Tim Hardaway Jr. is just about the only good thing with the Knicks this year.

I don't know about that, what about Andrea Bargnani...

Yeah, you're right. :lol:

He might be the most athletic rookie center, but he's going to have to show more skill. Adams is almost as athletic, they're both very close, but Adams shows a better touch and off. possibilities. And I think Adams has better def. potential as well...better timing. Plus, he's three years younger than Plumlee. However, Plumlee has looked pretty good so far. Like Drummond, we'll see if he can develop a decent off. game beyond dunks.

Hardaway was one of the Michigan players who were overshadowed by Burke during the reg. season and Burke and McGary in the tournament. No reason he can't develop into an excellent sg.

Giannis played 28 minutes tonight: 10 pts, 7 rebounds, 4 ast, 1 block, 2 to, 4-6fg, 2/3 3pt, 0/2 ft, +16.

Bucks win; out-tanked by Boston. (OT: Knight went off 20pts, 8 ast, 9 rebounds, 3 to, 1 st, 1 blk -7-14, 3/3 3pt, 3/4 ft, +4., Mayo 9-14, 22pts.)

According to the Celtics CSN sideline reporter Wolters called out the Bucks team last night on their effort. Didn't play tonight (not related). I'm sure that Larry Drew appreciated him stepping up and saying something, even though he's a rookie.

For a 19 year old this kid is exciting to watch. Imagine him in 10 years when he's 29, now that's dangerous. I wish he got more minutes though, I hate seeing Butler play over him.

As a long time Bucks fans, this is part of the Bucks management grand strategy...draft promising players, sit them on the bench, and give over the hill vets far more minutes. Then if the young players show real promise, get rid of them for more over the hill vets or short term players. I'm only half joking.
