Re: Banks

[RickDHome@xxxxxxx]

>>May I ask why you (and many others) feel Banks will be pretty 
good down the line?  What exactly do you see in him that could
possibly make this so?  It appears that even those who have been 
disappointed with his early play have held out hope that he will 
someday be worthy of his draft position.

So what am I missing here?  Really, DeHome, can anyone diss 
the PG shortcomings that presently evade Banks?  Or is it only 
Bank's blinding speed which has made so many of us optimistic 
concerning his long-term prognosis? << -- Egg


Well, Ms. Egg, I was tempering it a bit.  See, I've only ever seen him once 
(vs Miami), and didn't want to entirely write off his career based on that, but 
I have to say... he's way not ready from what I saw.  Didn't look like he did 
anything better than say, a Tyus Edney did.  But, like I said, that's based 
on one game.

Didn't get to see last night's game, but I followed it online.  Seems like 
every time James comes in, the + / - is negative.  Thank god Obie FINALLY put 
James back in to restore a little order.

Also, I kept thinking, as they frittered away their 4th qtr lead, put Vin 
back in.  Never thought I'd type that, but he seems to be playing quite well, and 
I'm happy for him.

I said it a long time ago, and I'll say it again.  Kedrick = Harold Minor 
(Baby Jordan).  He's passive, and will never amount to much.  Can't wait for 
Jumaine to come in and take his minutes.  The combo of JJ and Williams is not 
fabulous, but not bad either.

Still wish they'd bring in a vet PG.  If Banks gets more than 10 minutes a 
game to develop, we're in trouble.
