Thats exactly what you want to here. Especially saying he developed a pride to make sure know one would score on him. You gotta love that.

Definitely the best attitude to have. We need more guys to have that mentality.

I can't wait to see Rose shoot 4-30 from the field when he plays against us next season. :D

It's encouraging to see this franchise begin to put emphasis on defense. Regardless of how the pick turns out, at least we're moving in the right direction ...

i agree.. I read in an article yesterday (i forgot which one) that Amare called up the front office and told them we need to focus on defense this offseason.. I was glad to read that because our stars have to lead that charge on the court..

I like this kid. He can jump out of the gym and seems ready to work hard to mold his basketball game around his elite physical tools.

Interesting that he had such a great workout. Hopefully it was not a fluke but it sounds like he clearly stole the show with how he performed.

Of course the bozo coach is doing it yet again: Jinxing and overhyping, putting too much pressure on a young player. He's back to that "Gallo is the best shooter I've ever seen" stuff. I really think we have the worst coach in the NBA. The worst.

But back to Iman -- exciting prospect for sure.
