    I happen to think they have drafted well and will do fine. Does that make you feel better?

    Will they? Interesting statement, especially given your board name. For every player with significant 'upside' who is drafted and does improve and reach his potential, there are 10 or 15 that don't. If they really were that good, wouldn't they be excelling already? Upside, to paraphrase Dandy Don, is a French word meaning not worth a crap yet. The NBA places WAAAYYYY too much emphasis on 'upside'. Solid players are what you need. Look at the Mavs---team full of solid players, each playing their role. Took down the team with 'upside', didn't they? FWIW, the players they had with 'upside' (Beaubois, Brewer) sat on the bench the whole time. Players with 'upside' are, by definition, those who aren't that good currently. It's a wish and prayer that they'll get better, not a foregone conclusion.

    It's not what you post, but you multiple posting (three in a row) all the time.

    If the path is cleared for him, M-Mo can play some good minutes and probably contribute right away; he won't rot at the end of the bench like Patterson did at the beginning of the season.

    Again, it's not what you post, but you're multiple posting in a row. All I did was ask why you did it. Just think your posts through before hitting the submit button.

    Stop triple posting. It's annoying and it takes away from the user experience of other members.

    On topic, how do you think we're going to use MaMo? I'm thinking McHale plays him in the high post, similar to the way McGrady was used in the second Utah series. I seem to remember cxbby posting that be had some court vision. Hope that's true because playing in the high post requires the ability to hit the cutters.
