Clippers Will Sign Farmar to BAE: $4.2M/2yrs

At the High School Level, yes, that is precisely how I'd rank them. Jrue was a triple double threat with 5+ steals almost every night, and Aaron is straight nasty when it comes to scoring.

Ranking Collison is tough since I only saw him play three times in high school (versus double digits for the rest of the guys.

Tyler Honeycutt was awesome as well but dude faltered out ):

I've got Farm 1st.
Jrue a close 2nd.

Blah at the last 3.
But I don't see Aaron Holiday as close.


I'm talking purely high school careers. Farm's 2004 City Championship run >>> Division IV title n state runs.

Ranma,

why are you asking an NBA player to get over themself?

Not to belabor the point too much further, but I want to point out something that I just noticed during the Ballmer post-introduction press conference (5:19 timestamp) and had forgotten Doc had said previously:

Ramona Shelburne, ESPN Los Angeles (6/27/13)

"I think the younger guys are harder to mold together," Rivers said Wednesday, after being introduced as the new head coach of the Clippers.

"The older guys are already over themselves. They've already made the All-Star teams and have been the stars wherever else they'd been. The only thing they had left was to win a title.

"The young guys still have their whole life ahead of themselves. They haven't established themselves as being the greatest or whatever. So it becomes more difficult because you have to convince them that by winning, all that comes. That's easier said than done. But I'm looking forward to the challenge. I hope I can do it."

Doc Rivers' task will change in L.A.


I've always acknowledged that Jordan Farmar has a lot of talent even as I've had disdain for him since his days at my alma mater, so if Doc can harness his abilities to the fullest within the team structure, it would serve us quite well for the upcoming season even if it means that he'll sign a bigger contract elsewhere. The one thing I will give him props for is his clutch shooting since he seems to live for those moments and that is one thing this team could definitely use.

For what it's worth, there may be interest in Leandro Barbosa, who is also injury prone and inconsistent. While his 3-point shooting was quite subpar this past season in a limited campaign, he has shown himself to be a capable shooter from beyond the arc. Could possibly provide another energetic guard with length off the bench if Doc can limit his bouts of erratic play.
