    I have given you Malick "Badman" Badiane.
    I have given you Ryan "Rybo" Bowen.
    I have given you Dan "Damn Lanky" Langhi.
    I have given you Vassilis "Vaseline" Spanoulis.

    Tonight I give you... Steve Novak... aka... The Auto Vak.

    So let it said...so let it be done.

    Crap... from looking at my list, it looks like the only thing worse than DaDakota wanting you on the team is me giving you a nickname. This kid may end up being worthless... :(

    I can't wait to see lineups of Novak on the floor with Yao, McGrady and Battier. With two big GF's like McGrady and Battier in addition to Yao out there roaming around we can afford to have Novak camping out on the 3-pt line waiting for kickouts.

    Basically, if you double Yao or McGrady or collapse inside on anybody.......you will pay.

    I dunno... I don't see JVG taking away this kid's shot...

    Piatkowski shooting confidence was that of a 'professional' shooter..

    Novak's shooting confidence seems more like that of a cocky shooter.... This kid appears to have a deadeye specialist swagger to his touch.. Like shooting is his thing and no one's taking it from 'em...

    He's just programmed to shoot it as the opportunity arises and expect to make it every single time even if he misses here and there...


    I think this kid might turn out allright even under the pressuring tutelage of JVG... He's going to do what JVG says but, he's also going to take his shot.

    Sorry, DoD, I think the community has spoken and went with MY nickname, of V-span! :p

    I thought the same thing. The writer/reporters don't write their own headlines so the person who did obviously didn't get the gist of the story.

    Please save some of that accuracy for the regular season. We'll need all of them. :)

    I just call him Spanalitis since in all reality I couldn't spell the guy's name if I tried and with the way some people aimlessly talk him up it does begin to sound like some sort of disease.

    I watched Novak win the 3 point shooting contest at the Orlando Draft Camp. The guy barely missed anything on the right side of the court. It was a spectacle. The ball rarely touched the rim. He was like a robot on his shot mechanics. Nobody can mess that up.
