    He was on the Vancouver Summer League team
    IF we wanted him . . .would it be possible
    I think if Mobley Bolts
    Gee would be a nice replacement

    Gee has the confidence
    Gee could develope the type of Game

    Gee is also a 6'2 PG. He may have the desire, and perhaps the type of game, but he can't overcome his physical shortcomings. I couldn't imagine a 6'2 guy, who went undrafted, playing 30+ minutes a night at SG as Cuttino did and succeed as a big time SG. We can talk about Cuttino replacements all the time, but there is only one thing best for our situation. Cuttino himself. STAY!!!

    Gee has the athleticism of Matt Maloney, minus the consistent outside shooting. The guy is a shifty penetrator. But he will never be able to do anything at the NBA level.

    I only saw a couple of Gervin's games, but I have to agree with DaMan. He doesn't have the talent to play in the NBA.

    I have not only seen Gee Gervin play but I've played alot of pickup ball with him and many NBA players over the years. Believe me when I tell you he is far much better athlete than Matt Maloney. He is a pure scorer with an explosive first step in a point guards body. He really needs to change his game and hit the weight room to make it the NBA.

    I watched Gee Gervin play for an entire season when he played on the San Jac Ravens. He is quick, but he is also way too confident in a shot that really is quite inconsistent. I don't think too many teams could use him.

    Wasn't Gee like 1st team Conference USA? (don't laugh, it's a better hoops conference than people give it credit for)

    Israeli Rocket, you might have heard of his dad. [​IMG]

    Gee Gervin oughtta be ashamed of himself. He's the son of a basketball great. There's no excuse for him to not be one of the top college prospects. You'd think that his dad would teach him a few things to make him a better player.

    Gee Gervin is the son of the legendary George Gervin. Gee recently graduated from the University of Houston, where he played for Clyde Drexler. He played point guard, but he was the focal point of the offense, and is looked upon as a scorer more than a passer. He's about the size of Iverson, but not as quick and athletic.

    Don't forget that his dad was five or six inches taller than him at 6'7. 6'2 scrawny point guards are a dime a dozen.

    Yeah but Gee still should be better than what he is now. I mean you all say his shot isnt very good... if you're a 6'2 pg, and you have an NBA great for your dad, then you should definately know how to shoot well.

    Unless the original Iceman was a lousy shooter... was he?
