Subject: Josh Is Sure Cocksure About Banks

I think the comparisons falter when you compare Banks in terms of NBA
readiness to Parker, because Parker could hit outside shots, was more of a
pure PG than Banks,
better in a half-court offense, and is bigger. Since Banks lacks those
above attributes,
I'm not sure he'll have as similar immediate impact as Parker did. Not that
Banks won't likely make some All Rookie team, but Parker is the better
player and thus a better
rookie impact.
And for all the rah-rah stuff about Banks from certain listers, there's
still the downside
of poor outside shooting, high turnovers, low assist to turnover ratio and
half court
troubles.
