    Green is close to 6'10. Think they list undersized at 6'8. He is a tall guy.

    Who cares if he failed his classes? I bet 90% of the nba were morons in the NBA.

    Rashard Lewis was in freshman level classes his senior year of high school, he turned out pretty decent.

    I just joined clutchfans so i'd first like to say hello to everyone. :) I think Bobby Jackson is a perfect fit for what we need at point behind Rafer. He will hit the open shot and is a pretty decent slasher. I think Gerald Green is on the first team in his career where he will be held accountable for anything. I think he is going to develop faster than a lot of people believe. don't be suprised to see him get a little playing time this season.

    The video and audio quality of that clip seemed better than normal from the Chron.

    Seriously doubt it on Gerald Green, this year. He's got to work himself off the inactive list and on to the bench. That means he's got to get past Novak and probably Chuck Hayes or Luther Head................that is just to make it to the active list.

    Has anyone considered if we sign Brent Barry who are gonna be our other two inactive players besides Francis?

    I think we will be running Green and Novak on the inactive list with possibly Hayes or Deke switching out with Novak on the inactive list depending on who we are playing.

    So, for Green to see minutes, he's got to get past the inactive list to the active list, then he's got to beat somebody down pretty bad in practice to get a few minutes.

    Just don't think that is doable without major injuries hitting us.

    Have a question, How many players can be on the playoff roster? is it 12, with 3 inactives that have to stay inactive the entire series? And if it is 12, can the inactives still practice in the playoffs?

    I'm asking because that would be really good experience for Green to learn something, and motivate him to improve even more, faster.

    I really hope that Gerald Green improves now that he's surrounded by a group of veterans. This maybe his last chance in the NBA.

    Regular smarts and Bball smarts are different things.

    Adonal Foyle is a very intelligent guy. Not very much of an intelligent basketball player.

    He's been a disappointment thus far. It's time for him to grow up, and it looks like he's in the right situation to do so with a team filled with true professionals.

    Gerald Green: Man this practice is boring, no one's giggling like I'm used to.
