The conversation of starting next season.
http://www.nola.com/pelicans/index.s...get_the_c.html
Always thought he was the 2nd most talented guy on that team after AD, and maybe the most talented if you adjust for height in some arbitrary way. He just had to not hold back, always had the idea that taking over a game was selfish. Way better than the guys who try to take over all the time, can't be team players, but sometimes the best way to be a team player is go take things over.
Very happy for him. As long as he stays fairly aggressive he should be a 10 year guy, retire financially secure.
6'8". Excellent handle, jump shot, plus athlete (not elite, but better than average for his position), good defensive player. I always thought he could be one of the best players in college basketball. Makes good decisions and is extremely coachable. If you recall the Indiana game in particular, he scored in every way imaginable. In some ways, he's a coaches dream in that he's the rare guy that has to told to shoot more.
Still remember the Hopson debate.
I take Miller all day everyday.
Anyone know if Hopson is still playing?
Been playing overseas, but someone signed him to a 10 day contract or something like that late in the season. Not sure if he actually made the team or if he even played. I don't follow him or the NBA so maybe others will know. I just heard that at work one day. I work in Hoptown where he is from.Quote:

Have thought about that a number of times, Dickie V was all wet on that one.Quote:
