Re: Russell Westbrook
I'm a little scared right now, but I agree with you HB. Kid doesn't have point guard skills, and he's not exactly Dwayne Wade or Monta Ellis right now. Chad Ford drove the Westbrook = Lottery Pick bus by the way.

Roy can play PG in the half-court set with Westbrook playing off the ball. Most of all, the primary thing the Blazers need out of a PG is great defense, which is what Russell provides.
Here are my questions. Can he initiate the fast break offense(Not finish, but initiate) and does he seem to possess the ability to refine a decent NBA J within 2 or so years.

If we have a chance at 13 we should take Collison over Westbrook. Heck, there's most likely going to be a lot of better options then Westbrook. That guy is vastly overrated.

I agree. Westbrook is nowhere near as explosive as Ellis. He is decent but he isn't a lottery talent IMO. He is very similar to Javaris Crittenton. Heck, he really isn't a better prospect than J Critt coming out of college. More hyped but not better.

Re: Russell Westbrook
I was and am still intrigued by this kid. He probably doesn't have great handling skills or great playmaking ability (and his mid-range game isn't quite Monta Ellis). However, I think he can become a great defender in the league. I read somewhere maybe a rich man's Marcus Banks is a better comparison. I also agree with the taller Lindsey Hunter assessment.

I saw probably a handful of Daniels' games in college. My first year really watching college ball was in '94 I believe so he was probably a sophmore. If you guys go wayyy past those dates, than you're probably too old to be engaged in long discussions on an internet forum.

How so? If someones 45 years old, they should have a life and not be posting on this site. Thats what I meant by that statement.
