Re: Kandiboy needs a pacifier?
High on basketball knowledge, dude. Francis will be a
great point guard. Would you rather have a great point guard
or a mismatched power forward, someone whose numbers are dropping
down? I'll take the great point guard. Rogers has skills,
he's miscast like the rest of the Clippers. He will be
a nice acquisition if the deal goes through, because he
can shoot and takes up a lot of space. He was a terrific
player in Denver but got swallowed up in the Clippers maw.
