basically what i'm saying is defense is waaaayyyyyyy easier to learn than offense. Stauskas, like axel mentioned, already has a few desirable pro qualities where he could make an impact as a rookie. if he got even average at defense you're looking at a high quality starter.

people need to remember, but that Michigan team wasn't really built to defend, per se. it was built to run and gun.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

Just because he's tall for one position, doesn't mean he can play in the NBA. I don't see any NBA level skills.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

Axel wrote: View PostAaron Brooks isn't that bad. If it wasn't for the lock-out and his trip to China, he likely would have been more on the radar this season (as opposed to 3rd string on Houston behind Beverley and Lin). Brooks has been tearing it up down the stretch now that he is getting minutes (since a trade).

Score-first point guards
Examples: D.J. Augustin (-4.7), Aaron Brooks (-4.0), Brandon Jennings (-4.4)
There's one other skill statistic that correlates as well with RPM as steals, and that's assists, which is the strongest single factor in offensive RPM. That's bad news for point guards who tend to rack up relatively few of them.
The other common factor among Augustin, Brooks and Jennings is that they're poor, undersized defenders. But while some point guards, such as Ramon Sessions (-1.4), can compensate at the other end, this group's offensive ratings are much worse than the average point guard. RPM simply isn't impressed by their volume scoring, which generally doesn't translate to wins."Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."
