I think Houston and Toronto will go after all of those players.
Then we'll go after the players we really wanted.
Just like that sneaky Kerr smokescreen.

Russ is a player. He didn't test well athletically, but he was a demon on the court and he never backs down. Nick Johnson kinda reminds me of Jarreod Bayless. Johnson probably isn't as explosive as Bayless, but he's a better defender and shooter than Bayless was at the same stage. Spencer Dinwiddle is a tall combo guard who can create off the pick and roll and hit a midrange J. He would probably be a first rounder if he wasn't coming of an injury. Haven't seen much of Market Brown but the dude has 43.5 vert. It looks like he's a decent three point shooter.

never seen this guy play but at 6'6"....he looks a lot like Cater-Williams.....The Brian Shaw comparison I guess is fair though
EnySpree@ 6/26/2014 8:06 AM
Thanasis seems like a player too....the potential to be a big time defensive/energy guy....Bruce Bowen is a fair comparison....he's 6'6" and probably a small fwd...his wing span is like a 7 footer
EnySpree@ 6/26/2014 8:09 AM
Nick Johnson has some good talent...I can see him floating around....in a different draft he would be a first rounder

When marcus smart went down brown avg 23-5-5 for 3 games if they could make him a pg at 6-4 it would be interesting I'm thinking were going to get two of hairston robinson powell or jefferson

No I mean do you think Larkin can be better than those 2? Seems like that's what you were implying and if so I'm one happy camper

Johnson actually impressed me a lot with his explosiveness. I wouldn't mind having a guy like him on the roster.

He's saying there's no need to go all David Khan here. Smith and Johnson do a lot of the same things that Larkin does, so there's no need to duplicate their skills. I wouldn't mind bringing in Johnson because of his defense though. It looks like we're still going to need help guarding PGs next season.

I like Russ.........like a lot.

Russ smith dad.. Russel smith SR. used to play on the same basketball team as I did as kids. He lived in the building next to me. I hope his son is drafted.. his dad was a gritty player, played with a lot of confidence..
