I was absolutely, 100% and in all other ways dead wrong about Hawes. He’s already better than I thought he could be. That doesn’t mean I accept all the three point shots (40% from there won’t last), but he’s an incredible steal at that point in the draft. Joakim Noah is three years older and is shooting 36% as a starter. Absolute steal.

I told ya so. (Not you, Pookey.) I remember going back and forth with folks last year about this kid’s potential. I said it then; I’ll say it now. I belive that he can be 20/10/4/2 guy in his prime, (which I don’t thnk we will see for a little while.) He’s never been the goofy, unathletic white guy so many wanted him to be. Somebody compared him to Walton. Maybe. But I think that he can be a better scorer than Big Bill.

You don’t have to be a “minimum” age to be a blogger. Just, ahem, smart. And a Kings fan. :P
