    That is what the media and people around him was advertising him for - a much improved facilitator since his championship days.

    But reality will shed a light on that.

    Looks about 5'4" using geometric calculations. Hopefully a good summer of workout videos will correct that.

    If you look at their hands and palms, Paul's are significantly larger.

    If you talk to ANYONE from Toronto they will say he is not a facilitator.

    “If you've never heard of Red Klotz, you're likely not alone. The 5-foot-7 guard only played 11 games in the NBA with the Baltimore Bullets, but they did manage to win an NBA title, which makes Klotz the shortest NBA player to win a ring.”

    I am hopeful that FVV is a good solid PG - but he has been more of a scoring guard who also facilitates his entire career.

    Hopefully this team can finish the shots that Freddy V creates. It would be nice to not be the worst shooting team in the NBA again.

    It's not saying much, but he's more of a "real" PG than the guy we had before....
