Didn't get to see the game
Cause of work, but looks like Lieutenant Surge and Shock played well. Reke looks like he had an off game though, but it doesn’t matter. Our Point guards all put up good numbers.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
Even if 'Reke has an off offensive game he still did a lot on defense.
El Magico was great tonight.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
I think Reke was off cuz Spencer wasn't in there
I know it was my theory that Spencer & Reke didn’t work well together as a tandem in terms of actual stats, but the threat of Spencer’s outside shooting was missed tonight. Hopefully Spence can come back against Indy.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

Yah Kings needed some draino
the way the Hornets clogged up the lane (no i wasn’t reffering the Beno but it works both ways)
yeah, they really packed the lane tonight

Glad 'Reke hit that jumper to keep his confidence up.
I really hope ‘Reke is practicing Beno’s pop and stop at the free throw line. That shot is unstoppable and has bailed the Kings out many times.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
That's going to be a developed shot for Reke as he continues on down the road
I don’t see him developing that this year.

I don't either
But the good thing is, I do see him eventually being a pretty good shooter, because his mechanics aren’t too bad, and he’s been putting in a lot of effort.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
Yep.
I’ll take his streaky shooting over nothing at all. He’s only getting better at hitting the jumper.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
The cool part is
His jumper seems to become silky smooth in crunch time. He’s hit some clutch shots.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
Exactly, man, exactly.
I cannot wait for him to have a break out game…either a triple double or 35 plus points. It’s bound to happen this season.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
He's already had a break out game
Against Utah. And a few very solid ones too. He hasn’t had anything like Jennings 55, but I don’t think any rookie will do that again this year, not even Jennings.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
And not to downplay what Jennings is doing
but he;‘s only getting all this attention because of that game. Reke is putting similar numbers but hasn’t had a “55 point” type game yet
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
To be fair to Jennings
He is also getting a lot of attention because the Bucks are winning, with him leading the way.
I would still rather have Easy Reke though, and I’m confident he’ll end up winning RoY still. And if he doesn’t, and that motivates him to work even harder, all the better.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
They had a really easy schedule too
Easier than the Kings. Now that is getting tougher they are coming back to earth.

Redd’s contract is ridiculous, so I bet they do trade him.

Jennings has had very good games other than the 55 point outing
He’s very critical to the Bucks winning, and it’s pretty funny that you mention the attention Reke would get of opponents. Jennings is also getting that attention. I like it. It’s good for BJ3.

Yeah I don't think it'll happen again either.
Jennings and ‘Reke have played enough to earn respect and detailed scouting reports that tell opposing defenses on how to play them. Now it’s time for him to adjust and dominate.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
And those are the ingredients to greatness in the NBA
Yes, all the great ones have natural talent you can’t teach, and Reke has many things to improve on, but Reke has greatness in his horizon. (Can’t believe I wrote that.)

Break out the brooms v. Pacers….SWEEP
Pacers are going to be the best team we're going to face on this home stand
But I still expect a win. Danny Granger is probably one of my favorite players in the NBA.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
I don't know
The Hornets were playing really well coming into tonight. I think tonight is a quality win. I was really worried about tonight more than I am about Indy truthfully.

I think the Hornets and Pacers are about the same.
I’m looking forward to Brocktimus battle with Psycho T on the boards. That’s a serious tough guy battle right there.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
Would you rather have Psycho T with the 13th pick
Or Brocktimus with the 38th pick? I take Brocktimus. Every time.

Take the picks out of the equation and I go with Psycho T.
As far who’s giving their team the most bang for the buck? The answer is indeed Brocktimus Prime.
Psycho T can score in more ways than Brocktimus with just as much hustle as well as a bigger frame (height wise). I trust that if Psycho T was a King, Coach Westphal would be getting just as much from Psycho T as he gets from Brocktimus Prime.
But don’t get it twisted, I’m more than pleased with who we have. I think Brocktimus will be having a chip on his shoulder when the Pacers come to town. He got 1/50th of the press that Psycho T got and put in just as much effort in his college career. It’s gonna be a battle.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.

Pook never gave up his faith in the kid

And now the team will be all the better when Kevin and Cisco come back.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
Yep yep yep
A blessing in complete disguise. Donte recognized this might be his last real shot to be a rotation player. What’s nice is that PW has found a way to keep him pretty consistent despite some up’s & downs here & there.
It’s nice to see with Donte.

His passing has been the biggest surprise for me
He’s showing off a little bit of a “do everything” potential. Except rebounding. I don’t think he’ll ever be a stellar rebounder.

He's using all of his tools
Defenders are worried about him scoring so he’s atracting all the attention and making the right decision by passing the ball. That’s how he’s being racking assists the last couple games
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
Yeah he's found a way to incorporate all his tools consistently
He’s really making it difficult for the coaching staff to justify a spot for Ime Udoka on the roster beyond Kevin Martin’s return. Really really difficult. If that isn’t the best news this franchise has received in a long time, I don’t know what is.

I think you're right
Sergio’s spectacular play as of late is another reason Ime isn’t getting any time any more.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
Yeah because PW always goes with Beno or Reke when Sergio is on the court instead of Udoka
That helps Sergio to give him another target to pass too. Good call Aykis.

Every single guy e have
comes in and contributes. That’s really unheard of. Donte is just the latest example. I’m very excited for the potential this team is showing. And remember, this is just the 16th game in their first season together
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
I wouldn't say Sean May has really contributed yet.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
I mentioned him in a comment down at the end of the thread
Didn’t want to use him again. But you’re right. He;s the only one though
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
That judgment might be based on
too small a sample size. He missed a few shots that he needed to make in a couple of games. But that’s certainly what Westphal is using to decide his lineups.
I think you can always find a spot for a good character guy who plays defense and hustles, particularly on a roster with plenty of guys who can score.

There is no reasonable way you can argue that Ime Udoka has more value to this roster as a player than Donte Greene
If you want to argue experience, or intangibles, or something else fine. But as talent goes, Udoka does not have all the skills Donte Greene has. Not Udoka’s fault; it wasn’t slamming him as a player.
The reality is that a veteran is a nice luxury for a young ballclub without Kevin Martin or Francisco Garcia. How important is Udoka once both Martin & Garcia return?

We're not talking about Donte Greene
We’re talking about the bottom of the roster. And things are moving quickly, because it wasn’t that long ago that Udoka was the first guy off the bench for a few games and Sergio was cannon fodder.
Things can change, guys can start playing better or worse or get hurt, so let’s see where we are a couple of weeks from now.
Maybe you’re think that’s the end of the surprises the Kings have in store for us and the future is crystal clear. But I sort of doubt it.

True but i'd rather have him running the break anyways (most of the time).
He’s fast and can finish and he’s hard to stop around the hole since he’s so tall.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
He's so quick off his feet JET
Forget the whole tall thing. Spencer is tall too, and gets blocked 15% of the time Tall has little to do with it in a league that is full of tall big boy’s.

I'd say both, being tall and athletic helps him a lot.
David West would be unstoppable if he was 6’ 10". Tall matters as much as skill and athletic ability.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
Donte is tall yes
But he’s also majorly athletic and long too. All great assets for finishing inside.

After Reke and Speed
He probably has the quickest first step

I noticed that
Also, I am freaking loving the Evans-Greene backcourt big time for the numbers – the average height of our backcourt is 6’8" – the average wingspan is 6’10" – fan-freaking-tastic.
GREENE! You’ve been superfluously apostrophe’d! - andy sims
In a perfect world (and it may happen soon)
Our starting lineup would be Reke, Speed, Donte, JT, and Hawes. Maybe one of our bigs is replaced by someone else but that would lineup would be a matchup nightmare night in and out
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
So excited to see that lineup in action
With Sergio, Beno, Garcia, Casspi and Brockman off the bench, The Kings could provide multiple mismatches for the entire 48 minutes.
GREENE! You’ve been superfluously apostrophe’d! - andy sims
I like how
Westphal starts Donte, but Beno and Casspi get more minutes. The last two games anyway. So everyone gets a bone.

Being right doesn’t mean shit when you’re a pundit. I’m wrong about most things. It just so happens I got this one right.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

I love looking at the stats
and seeing 7 guys average scoring of double figures. This team is deep now, and will be very deep when Kevin and Francisco get back. This is fun!
Our backcourt depth is especially ridiculous.

I love this team.

Noc is going to be moved as soon as the Kings can get an expiring contract for him
Or, at worst, a contract that expires with a lesser player attached to it by 2011.

But what's really cool
is that no one’s stat padding. Everyone’s had turns stepping up helping us win / keeping us in the game.
There's nothing to fear but everything.
I agree although
Donte tried to do some stat padding against the Knicks lol, near the end. He wanted to get his career high.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
They were also good shots he should have taken
So I disagree a bit there.

Don't get me wrong
He forced the issue once or twice, trying to get the career high, but once it wasn’t happening, he started playing smarter, feeding the ball to teammates.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
Well
They were also paint (or near the paint) shots that he should have taken. I doubt the Kings could have gotten a better shot in those possessions he took those shots.
And, like you, I do think it says something that he didn’t force any shots up after that. (I would have not liked that at all.)

Imagine the Kings with Martin and Garcia back.

PW can keep throwing out players

"I make love to pressure" - Stephen Jackson
Agreed, Kingme and Bluejohn.
It’s almost as if the players are drawing straws to step up to help this team win. One game its Beno, the next is Donte, and tonight it was Sergio.
I love this WINNING BY COMMITTEE shit!!
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
Reminds me of the Old days
You had the Usual Suspects, but there were always suprise guys that would have great games based off of matchup advanteges that would help the team win.
Any concerns about having no rotation now
or should we wait until we lose again?

I love the face that we have no set rotation
Westphal treats each game as its own thing and goes with who he thinks will get the W that night.
Father of the "Natt this!" movement and Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order.
True. It adds an element of being unpredictable.
Most teams know that Dallas is coming in with Terry as they do with the Hawks coming with Crawford and they match up accordingly.
I like the subbing by match ups philosophy.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
That's what he has been advertised as
a bit of ‘mad scientist.’ He’ll go with his gut and with whatever works. If that means, all the starters will sit the 4th, so be it. To me is all about trust
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
I'm all for it!
As long as his gut doesn’t put Big May on the floor. May is the one guy that needs to find a way to let the game come to him instead of just trying to jack up shots as soon as he touches the ball. The rest of the team, K9 (WoWf!) included, I am super happy with!
by OrangeLazarus on Nov 30, 2009 12:55 AM PST up reply actions
Usually that doesn't work
Because alot of players don’t like their minutes being jerked around with, but the team is buying into Westphal’s system and it is paying significant dividends.
GREENE! You’ve been superfluously apostrophe’d! - andy sims
Not really
With how bad this team was last year and with all the new faces I’m fine with not having a rotation. Until we reach a point where we have 8 or 9 guys that we know are going to consistantly win us game this is the best thing to do; even if it costs us some wins. As long as every guy comes in and competes when their name is called this will only help the team in the long run. It will make it so we have a 12 man roster that can compete rather than an 8 man roster.
And they are competing
Every single guys (maybe except for May) has come in and has had an impact on the game. Every single guy is ready to step up and have a big game. I really don;t know what the secret is but he has all of the guys ready

love the coaching staff PW brought in. More importantly, the team really seems to respect them
"I make love to pressure" - Stephen Jackson
As long as players are ready when called
which they have been, excluding Sean May, having no rotation has been a positive, not negative. I think ultimately PW wants to play 9 to 10 guys on most nights, and down the stretch go with the most effective group of 5. It will be so interesting when K-Mart returns, because there are so many different combinations he can throw out there.
And the team is better for it
We have an ego less team. Whoever is in there will contribute and those sitting on the bench will be cheering them on. This is just the beginning
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
The Brockman line
Westphal has something nice going with that lineup where he puts Brockman with JT, Tyreke, Sergio and Casspi. A lot of hustle and skill.
Brockman came in tonight with the team up 1, left up 9. Came in up 8, left up 12, Came in up 8, left up 17 (that was in the stretch where they came back to 86-83). That’s a plus 21. I don’t know what the official stats show, but I like those kinda numbers.
I also like how the Kings responded when threatened. Last year and at the beginning of this year they would have folded and lost that came by 10. Instead, we outscored them 26-13 to close the game.
I think Brockman must have played volleyball somehwere down the line. This was the second straight game where he volleyballed a pass and we got a three out of it.

I like your points but...
I’m officially done with comparing this year’s team to last season. Although it feels great to see the improvements, there’s just really no comparison considering the change in the coaching and culture.
This team is on the brink of above .500 ball and even the playoffs with the help of a crazy trade or minor miracle. Exciting times are ahead and yes, BROCKTIMUS rules!
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
CCRDC great points
lets just leave it at the beginning of this season. I’m not sure we really know how to finish games yet but the team has learned not to be undone by a run

Would you trade for Okafur based on tonight's performance?
He was very effective, and tough in the paint. Jerry Reynolds did not hesitate to mention he is smaller than JT. I think the price tag is too high. If he had a low post game, he would be a beast. Ultimately, I think Geoff Petrie wants a guy with a more versatile and dynamic game for $50 million, or whatever he is owed. But his stat line was impressive:
20 PTS 9 REBSs 2 BLKs 0 ASST 9-10 FGs in 32 minutes
Yep. I've always commented about his lack of post game.
He did hit a few midrange jumpers tonight though, but JT could do that. Basically, getting Okafor would be getting another JT which isn’t a bad thing but I’d rather get someone who can rebound, block shots AND score on the low block like Pau, Big Al, or Kaman.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
To use a poker analogy
Trading for Okafur would be like going all in with a pair of 6s. It makes you better , but not a slam dunk upper echelon team.
On offense, he’s not a pick and roll player, and he’s not really a post player, so you would basically play 4 on 5 on offense. Tyreke gets enough attention already. He doesn’t need a big man hounding him too. And on defense Okafur camps out in the paint. Big guys who can shoot can step out on him.
He’s a great athlete, but I don’t want him. I am glad this looks like an internet rumor with no substance.
Sam Amick reported there was a discussion
That’s what started it.

Yah but the price not that impressive
Considering he was matched up with JT most the night do to Hawes injury and the only thing he had on JT were the two blocks
JT-22-14-1 on 8-13 and 6-7 from the line
Emeka went to the line only 4 times and made just 2, also had 4 fouls compared to JT’s 2 ( i think the first time all year JT didn’t reach 4)
Here's the counter to all this
If Okafor wasn’t owed 53 million over the next 4 years (option year included), and was owed say, 35 million, the Kings couldn’t get him for Kenny Thomas straight up.

Seven guys averaging double figures
How many teams can say that?
Donte is just below at 9.6, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see Sergio get there the way he’s been playing and scoring the ball.

Wow, I figured the 7 guys wouldve included Donte
With so many players able to score, it’s easy to see us competing on every night. If one player (or even 2) is having an off night, there is a good chance somebody else will be able to step it up.
The only problem is figuring out how to spread the minutes around. And that’s a great problem to have.

Sergio..
Man who knew he could make the kinds of savvy decisions he has been showing. They cover all the passing lanes he scores, they close in on him cutting to the hoop he passes for a score… Basically drives the tempo up about a half dozen notches and the other team just can’t really get set up defensively when he pushes. NICE.
If there are any Portland folks in the audience:
Just a few things to say:
1.) Sergio-friggin-Rodriguez just led us to a win. Thank you, very much.
2.) We’re only 2-1/2 games behind you.
3.) I still like your team. Please knock off the Lakers soon.

Spanish Blazers fan here.
This is what I posted in Sep-25-09:
“I think getting rid of Sergio has been the biggest mistake by the Blazers in quite a few years. They were just afraid of Sergio disturbing the locker-room and going into Rudy´s head against Nate McMillan (Blazers coach).
I might be biased, because I´m Spanish. But I think I´m not.
I think Sergio will be your nicest surprise of the year by a large margin. Get ready to have fun."
Although I could be one of those broken clocks, being right twice a day ;)
Sorry aml
Donte & Omri are far & away my nicest surprise. Not even 25 point games for the rest of the year would be a nicer surprise than those two and the way they are playing right now.
On the other hand, I didn’t think Sergio would do much for the Kings at any point. Thrilled to see I’m wrong.

I like a lot Donte and Omri, and yes, they did fall under my radar.
Both have a bright future with the Kings.
I thought Sergio could be the nicest surprise because he went to Sacramento as the third string point guard. He´s improved enough to be much more than that and he brings a lot of fun. Sergio is only 23, two years older than both Donte and Omri, and he´s playing the most difficult position to learn in the NBA, at least when you want to be a real point guard.
That Sergio Rodriguez
for Jeff Pendergraph trade is looking real good right now. Of course, Pendergraph has been hurt. Getting Jon Brockman after trading down a few notches? Priceless.

Everyone except the guy that had actually seen Brockman play…

I remember very well and it's funny
to see so many people on the jocks of all the guys they shitted on that day. It’s also funny to think of all the Tyreke supporters that hated the pick and LOVED the idea of Ricky Rubio coming over. I’m glad that thread is there for future reference. Here’s one of my comments since we’re going down memory lane:
Haha. Brockman is NICE!!! The kid has heart. He’s like a short Kevin Love. He can rebound and will punch you in the face. Jay doesn’t know…he doesn’t watch west coast b-ball. (by JETisKing on Jun 25, 2009 7:55 PM PDT)
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
But if you're curious on what I thought about Brockman on draft day here you go.
(Yeah, maybe tomorrow I’ll wake up sober. But, umm, I didn’t understand why the Kings took Patrick Ewing Jr in the 2nd round, and with Brockman, I don’t understand this pick. Argh.)
I think Brockman will likely get more time to begin with because he’s tough and can rebound. These are the things the Kings need, and likely Brockman will get minutes because he can hit a perimeter shot when he gets his chances. Plus, if he finishes at a high level inside, I think he’ll make it easier for Westphal to keep him on the court. He’s a lunch pail/hard hat type of guy.

He wants to read all my anger
He should go back & read all 3 years of threads. Some of the 2008 stuff is hilarious. I think it was IW that said fuck Portland’s pick, we should just get Kevin Pritchard. Or something like that. LOL
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Oh, hes in the laegue two and Jayson Thomson and that Boggins dude on Milwokee, and Occur for the Jizz. Its a talented laegue.--Kfan in Korea
Read this post by Dave
at Blazers Edge. It’s pretty funny what they had to say. (I know some here didn’t think so. I think so. Blast the rest of you to heck!)

Damn that was interesting
It was only funny because of how the team has gotten better, and the fact the JT pick doesnt look so dumb now. Funny how Blazer fans were putting us in the category of the Grizz (in fact they said the Grizz have something going, and would rather be them then us). Amazing how the NBA can turn around so quickly. Heres to being a Kings fan and having a team that will shock the world.
Awesome read. Here's a snippet of those JT reactions:
WHOOOOOOO?
Who?
Wow.
WTF???
Who?
What?
What?
Wow. Well in Petrie we trust.
WHO THE F***!@LJ:L#TJ
What the fuck. Holy lord oh my lordy lord. (Pook’s comment)
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
THANKS, That's AWESOME.
Proof that Poopey is a genius and basketball god posting among mortals. LOL!!!!
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
you mean these...
I DON’T GIVE A FUCK
I HATE THIS PICK OF TYREKE EVANS.

he’s not a point guard
He’s not a guy who I think will succeed in an open court game.

At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Where the fuck did I mention Jon Brockman in that?
And don’t quote me at me either.

nonono you miss my intent... i was just replying to your thing about we should go back and see your thoughts on tyreke... nothing more.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Hence why I provided my thoughts
No worries though.

But if you're curious on what I thought about Brockman on draft day here you go.
(Yeah, maybe tomorrow I’ll wake up sober. But, umm, I didn’t understand why the Kings took Patrick Ewing Jr in the 2nd round, and with Brockman, I don’t understand this pick. Argh.)
I think Brockman will likely get more time to begin with because he’s tough and can rebound. These are the things the Kings need, and likely Brockman will get minutes because he can hit a perimeter shot when he gets his chances. Plus, if he finishes at a high level inside, I think he’ll make it easier for Westphal to keep him on the court. He’s a lunch pail/hard hat type of guy.

Here is one I dropped... though I am happy with Tyreke... just glad we didn't get mop top...
brandon jennings will be the best point guard in this draft…
If Rubio is on the board, the Kings should deal with the Knicks and pickup a player while snatching Jennings at 8…

Here's an even cooler chart to look at:

Damn Blair is second on this list
But with Spanish chocolate and the guy thats only one spot back, i’m cool with it. Wonder how the blaze feel about it considering they were the ones that picked for us at 31(Pendergraf over Blair) and gave away sergio.(Blake is their version of last years Beno so far)
Yeah, Blair's a better player than Brockman
He’s got lottery talent—but Brockman may have a longer career if Blair doesn’t stay healthy. So far, so good. For his sake, I hope he has a long career.
It sure is nice to have Sergio. He seems to be playing really well in the 2-3 PG lineup that PW’s throwing out.
m*****f***ing c***s***ing peanut butter and jelly!! f*** f*** f***!!!
It's pretty clear who the PG is
when Sergio is in the game. Very nice change of pace from Tyreke. We’re already kicking your ass in a physical sense, and then we turn the speed on. Nice.

they have nearly identical per minute averages. blair is just black and played at Pitt.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Blair is also longer
DX Measurements. Blair has a 7’2 wingspan (and is 6’7 with shoes), and Brockman’s unknown. Brockman is 6’7, and I would suspect his wingspan isn’t more htan 6’9. That’s a major difference.

And he has a little bit of a post game.
That’s a huge plus.

Yeah Blair is a far more advanced offensive player than Brockman is
Still, I don’t mind a guy like Brockman as opposed to Blair. With Blair you would always be worried about his future and how much long term viability he has. With Brockman he doesn’t provide the same upside or downside.
Besides, I don’t think Blair is the perfect 3rd rotation big anyway. But I’m thrilled to see he’s doing well in SA. That’s great for him & the Spurs.

Glad to see Hasheem in the top ten. Hasheem is not a Darko damnnit! :P
I don’t know one basketball team that would NOT want Pryz on their team. That man never ceases to amaze me with his hustle, blocked shots and rebounding…he gives a decent interview too.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
I don't think anyone will be a Darko again for a LONG time
He’s a bust of epic proportions considering at least 3 franchise players (Wade, Anthony, Bosh) came right after him.
