I feel I should point out that Colangelo has said he's not trying to build Phoenix v2.0. He's building a team that runs with control, not reckless abandon. There's only one team with the personnel to do that and the Raptors aren't it.

phoenix showed us what you need to have to be a great run and gun team the other day - great point guard play and great shooting. thankfully we are well on our way in both respects.

that said, we're not nearly as potent on the fast break as we should be. i'm confident that this will correct itself as we get everyone healthy. we now have some fantastic open court players. when everything starts clicking, we're going to be a powerful team on the run.

i would like another power athlete, y'know, a jason maxiel type, but Hump's game is coming along quickly. plus we've got Moon and Carlos, these guys are major league athletes with major league length. they can make plays on d and transition into offense.

and of course i'm already excited about drafting a player next year. we don't have much room but we've seen how easily the right kinds of players can slot into our system. there are going to be some very athletic guys available in the first round.

people forget how good bargnani is in the open court.

Re: How to Complete Colangelo's vision of Building a Run-n-gun

Umm, this is year two of BC's tenure as GM......my guess is that it will take another 2-3 years before we truly see "Colangelos vision" take shape

BC has just started..... sit back and enjoy, this team will likely be very different looking by then
