    To be fair.. all they did was jack up threes. At least Nick is showing he can do everything else.

    Head wasn't a lock down defender... Having watched more of him than nick Johnson, I feel pretty comfortable saying nick Johnson is a much better athlete than head was. I would rate head as a better pure scorer, but otherwise would prefer Johnson. Especially next to harden.

    Nick Johnson is Dennis Johnson's nephew, McHale's teamate from the Celtics.

    This kid can play. I don't think we've had a 1/2 that's been this athletic, has these handles, and plays D in a very long time. This guy is going to look great off the bench with Troy Daniels.

    He can definitely guard point guards and play the 1 in our system where Harden handles the ball more.

    He just posted a triple double recently, think it was 15 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assist. While scoring isn't a problem, some of his assist was pretty good. A gem in the second round in my book. And that 360 dunk? impressive for someone his height. :)

    We've got to play him at the 1 where he has perfect size. I'd have him over Caanan right now.

    He looks like he has a high BB IQ, with good handles, good vision, and fundamentals. I like what I see so far and man this kid has plenty of upside.

    The concept of point guard and shooting guard definitions are changing. Johnson is just a guard, he can play either equally well.

    So are we hearing you right?

    You like head, but you prefer Johnson, especially a harden?
