This is not a poll rating how good are players are. We've been talking about that for the last 3 years. What we're seeing now is how well the 2004-2005 roster lived up to our expectations.

Man, did he tear it up or what? Heck of an MLE signing to say the least.

He is my most expectation exceeding player. MEEP. He was, as I believe I called him many times before, our "rock" when we needed something to lean on. Which is impressive since he is the new guy and those aren't usually the ones that the other guys look back on and remember how to play from. I can't say enough about this guy other than at the beginning of the year I thought he was a banged up, past his prime, bum with a bad attitude. Man, was I ever wrong.

I thought we were doomed after his performances in the first couple of games, but he came alive and showed that in extended minutes he can still be a good starter who puts up around 16 and 8. Great, great signing.

Far above.
