Amaze yet again...

Always wantin' the hometown boy. How many times you need to get burned? Nate is coming along nicely, he needs some time. Telfair isn't wowing anybody right now and for some people to suggest they know why (lack of confidence, etc) is dumb. He is ALSO small and not nearly as strong (and never will be), nor will he defend as well. What makes anyone think he is a "true" PG? As the season wore on, he was looking to score more...just like someone else we know. It doesn't matter what comes out of their mouth, it matters what they do on the court.....guy has done nothing consistently yet.

Read, sir...

The guy never siad he was AI caliber. He said only that he was an AI TYPE of player. And, BTW, ever try shooting over a shooter guy who is very strong and in your wheelhouse? Most players need room to shoot well and Nate is strong enough and quick enough to take that away. Perhaps you missed the play where he blocked the oop to Garnett on the break? Pretty good defense....and Sebby will never be able to do that.

You assume...

That Nate will be a 2. He has no future as a 2. He will be a PG. This discussion is about Nate vs. Telfair...is it not? Bogues stuck at 5'3 until his health gave out after a long and effective career. You saying that Nate can't be as productive?

Come on, Chan...

Clyde was 6'4 and a top 50 guy both ways. Pearl was 6'3 and all world offensively. Only bad knees kept him from being one of the best...ever. That was 30 years ago. Same as 6'6/6'7 now. The comparison is absurd on every level....size...ability...star quality. How many guys have to tell you guys that Nate's career is as a PG? It's not me who is saying this(although I agree), its coaches, players(current AND past), and scouts. Get with the program. Telfair will be a decent PG but never great (Marbury genes).
