I didn't even check this thread for like 2 days to let it go because I was pretty pissed off at your ******* pointless comments that started this.

Pretty ironic that you say "let it go" when you came back with your great crybaby post and get offended even when all you were trying to do in this thread was to offend me. Anti-Chaplin bandwagon is your own invention.





You get offended all the time even when I say something like I don't expect to get into the fantasy basketball playoffs but get into the finals you get offended.

Grow up kid.

I understand what you are saying but what we can realistically expect from #17?

A good benchplayer. I think that we all more or less agree in this.

Nick Collison has a very good chance to become an excellent benchplayer.Maybe even more.
He reminds me of Othella Harrington. Finesse post-up player, fine hookshot, excellent pos-up moves, good touch. He is an unselfish hustle player.

A quick list about players who were picked at #17:

2002 Juan Dixon- benchplayer
2001 Michael Bradley-good benchplayer
2000 Desmond Mason-good, starting quality player
1999 Cal Bowdler-bust
1998 Rasho Nesterovic-good, starting quality player
1997 Johny Taylor-Who?
1996 Jermaine O'Neal-All-Star
1995 Bobby Sura-good benchplayer
1994 Aaron McKie-very good benchplayer
1993 Greg Graham-Who?
1992 Doug Christie-good,starting quality player
1991 Victor Alexander-bust
1990 Jerrod Mustaf-Who?


From 13 players

1 All-Star
3 starters
4 benchplayers
5 busts

Average: benchplayer.

Of course you can never know with Suns' excellent scouting staff but you can't get every year Steve Nashs and Michael Finleys in the mid 1st round.

.

Most of us old-timer Suns fans wish we could share in your ignorance. Jerrod Mustaf just might be the most undesirable Sun ever.

Isn't he in prison for killing (or trying) to kill the mother of his child (ala Rae Carruth?)

I don't think he was ever formally charged. His cousin was the trigger man and the cousin is the one doing the time.

From today's insider

Secret workouts are a big part of what's goes on behind the scenes in Chicago. Most of them aren't really that secret, because the rumor mill churns at a furious pace here. With that said, the two big workouts everyone is dying to get into are that of Ndubi Ebi and Charlie Villanueva on Thursday and of Pavel Podkolzine on Friday.

Ebi and Villanueva's workouts are being coordinated by agent Dan Fegan. While most NBA teams consider Ebi a lock to go somewhere between 17 and 26, Villanueva has been generating zero buzz. Many teams feel Ebi is reminiscent of Jonathan Bender. Bender actually was drafted with the fifth pick in the draft. It's taken him so long to develop (because of his rail-thin frame) that Ebi's stock probably won't ever rise into the lottery. However, many NBA scouts feel he's a top 10 talent based on potential.
