Re: My contempt for Nash grows....
I believe Nash hasn't done a good job, BUT the Webster pick is way to early to give up on. If this kid can shoot the lights out and bring that into the NBA game, we will be very fortuate. Shooter are harder to find then good big men. I have been critical of Nash, but I like our last two picks. If Webster doesn't pan out and at least play a roll in next years rotation, i'll worry a bit. I really think Jack will be a decent player in this league, so be patient.

From what I have seen of Webster, he has below average athletism. I don't ever see him as a starter in this league. The best case for him would be to become another Tracy Murray.

Re: My contempt for Nash grows....
i just wish we would draft someone NBA ready... paul was/is NBA ready - webster isnt. If we get a high pick next draft i hope - HOPE - we draft someone who can actually help us.

After watching his pre-draft video highlights against the likes of speedy Nate Robinson and Mccants a half dozen times, I'd have to disagree with you on this one. He's not Outlaw by any means, but I would def. say he's at least average.

Considering the fact that he has the ABILITY to shoot the lights out, there is absolutely no way you can say that a 6'7" - 210 - SG / SF doesn't have a chance to become an outstanding player.
Webster IMO clearly has a chance to develop into a Starter, he has a perfect NBA body he just needs some experience and confidence. The kid JUST turned 19 for petesake.

Re: My contempt for Nash grows....
yup when he throws it up hard it goes in and he has good mechanics already, nice stroke on the ball and pretty good hops.

Nash is incompetent. This fact has been evident for some time now.

Re: My contempt for Nash grows....
I understand the need to rant against Nash. But don't take it out on Martell Webster. The kid is right out of highschool. And in a few years when he's exactly like Michael Jordan in every way except that he doesn't do that dumb tongue thing and he's got a better jump shot you'll come around.
In 3 years everyone will see that the following is true
Telfair + Jack + Webster >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Paul + Jefferson

We all (except those that abandon our board for brighter lights) have to hope this is true. Unfortunately, its too early to tell.

Not only did big Al refuse to come back for a second look, he also failed the psychology tests the team gave him.
Go figure.

He's proven that he's 6'10, 250.
Clearly that's all anybody should need to look at......
