    Summer league is set up so that the PGs look good. Nobody is as fast as them, and the team defense is horrible.


    The rookie award was given to a 6ft PG, Aaron Brooks.
    The Most Outstanding Player ward given to 5'9 PG, Nate Robinson.
    Four of the guys on the First team are 6'1" and under: Brooks, Barea, Lowry and Williams. Six of them are 6'4" and under, when you include Foye and Crittendon.

    When play during the regular season, they give up 3-4 inches to other PGs and get abused during defense.

    Brooks is good, but he will always be the 6th man at the most.

    Yup,

    I wouldn't mind if Brooks was a perennial NBA 6th man winner.

    Rudy Gay also made the first team. Any chance we could ever get a guy like that?

    Am I alone in thinking Aaron Brooks is a dead ringer for Chris Rock

    Rockets had Brooks playing PG and he still averaged 3.2 rebounds a game... Durant should be able to pick up 3-4 rebound sleepwalking on the court no matter what position he plays.

    Except Brooks is probably able to be at least a little bit funny.

    Interesting logic you have there to conclude Brooks is nothing more than a 6th man. I'm hoping that Brooks is more of an Allen Iverson type of PG than a benchwarmer that you believe he will be. Time will tell, but he does appear to be the real deal.

    I hope he could be more than a bench player, however, his size is an issue,at least defence wise...
