padgett passed on houston for the same reason he passed on the suns. he wanted to be at a franchise where he'd have best opportunity to get playing time.
Ask Boki Nacbar. Ryan is the example that JVG uses to let everyone know what he wants in a player, offense aside. He doesn't play a lot of minutes, but when you need to D-up on someone, get some rebounds, get a steal, especially late in a game, Rybo is useful, especially when nobody else seems to give a frack. Do you think if JVG wasn't our coach, that the team would have more white players? Just posing the question.
