Don't forget he averaged 11.3 threes per game...

TDJacksonville · Post #989 » by **TDJacksonville** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 5:44 pm

so my quick report on him is that hes a shoot first PG and probably would be a shooting guard if he wasnt so short and apparently cant play defense even with his good wingspan of 6 foot 6

Afflalo was in Spain

Oh. My bad. I wonder if he will have a huge smile as Dwight Howard had while traveling all over town getting pictures of himself as often as possible in a Magic jersey.

LOL your head is so far up Dwights ass its ridiculous. Does it really matter what he does anymore? I know I couldn't care less.

Why would it matter if Afflalo travels all over town taking pictures & smiling? LOL

Dwight is a diva & loves the attention, Afflalo is a blue collar/hard worker who is probably busy getting better on the court instead of trying to be in the spotlight.

I think only 20 were selected, so hopefully they got rid of the ogres of the group.

Tony Mejia @TonyMejiaNBA
Per Gus Ayon, James Borrego, a popular assistant w/the Hornets who coached their Summer League entry, will join Jacque Vaughn's Magic staff.

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
One of Gustavo Ayón's accounts--and I'm not sure if it's real or a spoof--tweets James Borrego has joined Magic's coaching staff.

Do we have any info on this guy?

Yeah, it was really stupid. Sad part is, Justin didn't even play during this past season.

What's even more sad is we didn't even work him out prior to drafting him. Man, FCUK Otis. Dude really screwed us.

A few folks have tweeted me to mention Murphy took a job in Orlando's scouting dept., not on the coaching staff.
