Wright and Bayless were both sensational in that Jordan game last night. That alley-oop from Wright to Bayless was amazing.

I didn't really like Bayless's game. First of all Gordon ripped him a couple of times when he was trying to force it. But more importantly he just seems like a gunner. I felt like his game had no fluidity. I know it was an all-star game but his play just didn't look natural like Gordon and Rose. I'm still skeptical of Bayless. He hasn't impressed me yet.

Bayless does look like he has no flow, but I can assure you it is just because of these all-star games. Bayless is much better when playing the point because he is the primary ball handler and while he creates his own shot, he also opens up apssing lanes to hit his teammates.

I think Bayless is trying to hard to fight for attention over Rose, Mayo, Gordon, Beasley, ect...

He was not too happy about not earning a starting sport at the McD's game and I think he is trying too hard to prove he deserved one.

The best thing I could have read lol. Everytime I see him, he reminds me of a HS Wade.

We'll see. While I admit these games are pretty lame and I haven't seen him elsewhere (just watched some youtube though) they still are a pretty good barometer for stars. Maybe Bayless just isn't on their (Beasley, Gordon, Rose) level?

But I do trust you and HKF so I'll reserve judgement until next year...man, it can't come soon enough.

I really like your list, but I'd try to squeeze James Harden in there. Even though I don't like him, he's going to make a big time impact no matter what because ASU sucks so bad. I'd put Harden or probably Bayless in your list before Wright, but with you being a G-Town fan, I can see where you're coming from.

haha. i'll admit that i watched wright play another amazing game last night and got overexcited. but dont forget about him. scout.com said he's the best shooter on the east coast and the announcer last night thinks when it's all said and done wright will be the BEST guard in the class.

also, i am not impressed w bayless yet. i'll stick by my list. but i can see why you'd call me out for being bias. fair?
