Thoughts on the Jordan Game
Trips Right has your thoughts on the Jordan game. Despite my desire to see Jordan Hamilton play, I caught the end of this game and it was such a pathetic effort by everyone involved I'm not sure I can bring myself to watch it. Even for an all-star game it was bad. Check out the link for a money line about Tiny Gallon. Well worth it.

Our guy
At the beginning there was one guy on the court who tried to play team ball — Hamilton. But eventually he gave up and mainly stood around and watched.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
After seeing Avery 3 times, and Jordan once,
I don’t know how quickly they are going to jump to the league. Avery is a classic combo guard, who will be devastating as a 2 in college, but doesn’t have the passing skills to be a 1 in the NBA. I’m trying to think of another undersized 2 that was a 1-and-done, but none come to mind. That being said, I still think he will be a damn good NBA player, a la Russell Westbrook (who should not be playing the point).
Jordan has NBA size, and the Paul Pierce comparison that has been made here and elsewhere seems to fit. But without the “elite athleticism”, how high could he possibly go? I would think mid to late first round, so we might be able to squeeze two years out of him.
Then again, not all one-and-done’s dominate like Durant.
Completely off topic, but play the little game “who would we have if no one left early”, and our starting lineup next year would be Pittman, Durant, Hamilton, Bradley, Augustin. With a disgusting bench. Just hurts to think about.
And now back to studying for superfluous certification exams.
