Carlos Delfino was so effective for us that one year, we even termed the stretch 4 role as the "Delfino role". Last year we thought Casspi could fill in that position. Hopefully Pap can fill in that role this year and for many years to come. We'll ask him to play his game this year and then next year in the offseason, we'll ask him to add more aspects like ballhandling and creating. I think he will be our star on the bench unit, from his history in big games.
Harden impressed with Kostas' play in scrimmage. From chron.com http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterocke...4/10/kostas-papanikolaou-off-to-a-good-start/ Remember? This is how Luis Scola described Parsons way back when during his first training camp scrimmage. I think Paps is a keeper.

It's not. It's to say he has a major role to play. Coaches have history in how to use a guy like him. Delfino would come off the bench and then, more often than not, finish games for us. Paps would be the same.
Wow. Dat stroke. Will enjoy watching him shoot 3s. Seems a little slow taking it to the rim, hope his length will make up for it.
Holy ****. He didn't just catapult his shot, he built a catapult then catapulted his shot. His arms ran faster than his legs. Really, 50/50 on those lay ups?
