The first book of the series, Ender's Game, is very good example of the american minimalist writing style. The story is engaging and layered enough to appeal to readers age 10 and up, especially males.
The second book, Speaker of the Dead, is much more layered and is unlikely to be appreciated by younger readers in my opinion.

Colangelo could have selected Denham Brown back in 2006. He was within range to be taken but instead they drafted a PF with the body of SG... Brown no doubt is a borderline talent but you have to think he would have lasted longer than PJ Tucker did. To me it seemed blatantly obvious that Brown was a better player than Tucker but what do I know...
PJ Tucker was a risk but aren't all picks in the mid-20's? In a crap-shoot I think Tucker was a good wager. Some mock drafts had projected him as a First Round selection. And compared to Brown, he's proved he was the better pro. Tucker at least hung around the Raptors' roster for a couple years, and he's really developed in Europe. He was the MVP of the Israeli League and he's currently playing in Euroleague - the top hoops level in Europe.

these are the guys slotted 20-myck. i think for the sake of the argument, we wouldnt be ridiculous and draft him anywhere in the lottery. so would you choose him over these players because he fits a need or is canadian?

I'd actually prefer BC take Myck of Rivers at this point in time. Rivers has proven to be more of a score first PG, and not even very effective at that so far.

And his numbers aren't even CLOSE to being as good as Bayless was for Arizona.
I'd pass on Rivers and go straight for Kabongo even if he wasn't Canadian at this point.
(Duke vs. Tar Heels, tonight on the Score!)
