Aaron F. Gray for my Bullies. He has been a pleasant surprise. He's not real nasty but I like his decisions around the bucket. He has a nice little post game.

Re: Who Has Surprised in Pre-Season

Aaron Gray. 49th pick in the draft and is really impressive so far. He is putting up solid numbers without a whole lot of touches. 16 here, 14 there, 14 again, all while shooting under 10 shots or so. He is very, very consistant. Not to mention he is 7 foot somethin and can turn into one hell of a rebounder if he works on it.

Gabe Pruitt.

Dominique McGuire for your Washington Bullets.

No named second round Draft Pick that will create all the accolade's that Ernie Grunfield received from picking the no named Michael Redd.

The guy is a defensive demon and is swatting shoots away at a regular clip. Think of a Ben Wallace / Josh Smith combo type that actually has some sense of an offensive game.

Might not get the time and minutes this year, but with a team that cry's the need for defense, he might get it. Also, look for his seven foot counterpart... Andre "The ***** set me up" Blatche.

Aaron Gray. Also, Kirk Hinrich seemed to put up some more weight on his little bones. Also like how Jameson looks too. Very solid ball handler.

Re: Who Has Surprised in Pre-Season

He's actually a more than solid defender. His defense is certainly overlooked.

Didn't see this before.

He didn't play D on the Bucks very well. Big Dog, Allen and Cassell were not noted for their D for Milwaukee. It's been noted that Coach Karl gave up trying to teach it.

Maybe he has stepped it up since his Bucks days.

Re: Who Has Surprised in Pre-Season

I thought Shuttlesworth was a pretty decent defender. He looked like he could keep up pretty well from what I remember. His shot is so glorious though. I hope they have a bunch of Celtics games on. They need to cut out some of those Lakers games and put some more worthy teams on the schedule for PRIMETIME!! This season is looking juicy.

Oh , Ray has a sweet sweet shot. No doubt.

Of course, not many NBA players play D, that much, except for Kobe and Bowen and A.I.

According to this stat website, Ray Allen is a below average defender.

Louis Williams may be that gem the Sixers were looking for. This dude looks like AI Lite, except he can shoot and play in a set offense.

Glad I made you laugh.

Re: Who Has Surprised in Pre-Season

A.I lite...? I'll wait for this season to be over before I go with something like that.

Re: Who Has Surprised in Pre-Season

I was obviously exaggerating in order to say how he plays. He's 6'2" 180lbs. tops. And he's a shooting guard in a point guards body and is a scorer, especially going to the basket. Isn't that how AI plays?

Well in that case, I can call about 30 other players in the NBA AI-Lite.
