Rodney Stuckey- Maybe it’s fear of the unknown, but I just don’t see how a tweener from a mid-minor conference (the Big Sky conference was 24th in Conference RPI) is going to justify being picked mid-first round. I mean he could turn out to be a great player that we’ve all been sleeping on, but I just don’t see it.

Truth comes through with a real thought-provoking post about Antawn Jamison's defensive struggles and how it may complicate Flip Saunders' job next year. I don't want to sum it up too much, because you should all read it, but this raises an interesting question: just what is to be done about them? If the answer long-term is making Jamison a sixth man, as he was in Dallas, then how will he take it? Truth brings in some evidence to suggest that he may not take it as well as even he assumes. This is a key question long-term. Jamison has preached sacrifice a lot, the question is, will he live by his own words?
As far as I can tell, this is the first Wizard on Twitter. It was a bit odd to see him list himself on his bio as a golfer before he lists himself as an NBA vet, but other than that, there's nothing else of note yet.

Rule #57: Pay as much attention to those last draft picks as you do to the early ones. Stars can be found in both spots.
Q: How does it make you feel to be considered the top point guard? Paul: It makes me feel really, really good. But after tomorrow, it doesn’t make a difference. Once you get drafted it’s what you do after. No matter if you’re the second pick or the 60th pick, it really doesn’t matter. It’s all about how you perform.
Rule #58: Expectations alone never made anyone successful.
