I don't know about better than RJ, he's a little more athletic, but his handles just aren't there, I think he'll be a nice wing player who will struggle with his outside shooting(something he can work on), but defense is what keeps him on the court, the guy is much better tahn RJ defensively. This reminds me, I was bored stiff over the weekend, so I pulled out old programs, magazines, I found this mag, with a St. Joe star(Kidd's high school) on the cover, 1998 HS preview, I was counting their top 100 players who made the show. IT's a good number, there was Rashard Lewis, Al Harrington, Maggette, lots of wings, then ranked really low, long after NFL receiver Ron Curry, was RJ. It said long, defense athletic freak, question was can he hone the skills onto the court....well the answer is yes.
Arizona has a great history of wings, prior to this crew, there was JTerry, Bibby, Dickerson, then going even farther, Stoudamire and Elliott. Big man is another question, Rooks and Tolbert. Ugh. Williams, later Dele was probably the best big they've sent out.
