Re: The Ammo bandwagon
Everyone knows the kid can shoot/score, so the high percentage in shots (guarded/unguarded) doesn't really impress me.
What did impress me though was how fundamentally sound he is.

Remember this factor also made him cry with two seconds left in the game. His lack of composure concerns me more then his heart.

Re: The Ammo bandwagon
didn't know where else to post it so i guess i'll blurt it out here: i love watching these hype machines go to work- at least this year (with the 1). just over the past week, our pick has earned a lot more value on the market. it probably has a few peaks and dips left to travel but i'm expecting that, come june 28, the 1 will be in its heaviest demand. from some of the early rumours, there might even be a bidding war of some kind- it'd make complete sense considering the teams involved- and we'd be the direct beneficiaries.
i'm just loving the 1. the machines'll continue to work their magic (some players are without a doubt far more ready for pro basketball than they were 6 weeks ago!) and it'll be great for our team- i mean, we're bound to get the player we want anyway. to think that we might get something else on top of said player is just a bonus that we couldn't have even planned for... oh... about two weeks ago.
i won't take our current position for granted. this is great stuff for the toronto raptors.
peace

Re: The Ammo bandwagon
i guess just to be anal about this, i quickly caculated his numbers to be 75/110, which comes out to roughly 68%...still very good, but most of us already knew he was a good offensive player so no big surprise...
for those morrison backers (im obviously not), what i would be slightly concerned about in this article is that some nobody pf was able to "get a hand in almost everyshot" morrison took...this speaks volumes to me about morrison athleticism...this article doesnt really do much for me really...i mean who cares that he can score against some nobody pf...i much rather hear hows he doing vs. granger n george in his other workouts...

i guess it makes sense, but think about it: does that mean that adam had nothing to gain by attending this workout? if so, i simply give him points for that- he has nothing to gain ("who cares that he can score against some nobody pf"), everything to lose ("some nobody pf was able to get a hand in almost every shot") and he still does it.
you could call that bad management on the part of his agent, you might have a decent point there, but it's admirable no matter how you look at it. he's willing and really doesn't appear to be fazed or put much weight behind the opinions of his critics.
personally, i'm not going to criticize the choice of any of these players to attend any workout session. i'd rather they go in with a ball of steam and show what they can do and what they want to do. i'm not going to blame them when they bet it all on an empty pot.

oh i dont fault morrison at all for putting up this workout..it doesnt bother me in the least...just for me personally, it doesnt prove much to me that he can score on a pf that nobodies heard of...and even thou i dont really like morrison as an option to the raps, i certainly admire his moxie...he certainly doesnt look like he will duck anyone in this draft, which is pretty cool to see...

Re: The Ammo bandwagon
Defense?
Will he defend as well as Wally Szerbiak?
Athleticism?
Will he be as athletic as Mike Dunleavy?
Do all great, clutch college players make good clutch NBA players?
Ammo as first overall?
Never gonna happen.
I think Ammo is a little better than Kyle Korver though.
