Re: Okur Look\'s Really Good!
Its hillarious to me that people think Gooden, K-Mart and DC showed a weakness in Ben's game. Does anyone remember that he was playing on a severley sprained MCL? The guy walked with a limp, yet you think hes a non factor while healthy because he was outplayed on one leg? Talk about lack of logic.
When you are very deep at one position, and your starter has not played one second of pre-season ball, the number one thing you want to do is get that guy going. It makes no sense to say "I dont care how many centers you have, play your young guys". Memo will be a huge part of our season, Darko wont. He doesnt need to be, and only an idiot would put a young guy higher on the depth chart than a 2nd year player who is better (Okur).
Like I said above, Prince looks much better than last year. It doesnt matter what happend last year anymore, because he has apprently learned alot. You can go on and on about how hes a non factor when people know about him but he isnt a rookie anymore. You have to remember that those were pretty much the first pro games the guy has ever played. Hes a 6'10" SF with a 7'2" wingspan and a 3 point shot. Sure he needs to gain some weight, but to say hes overrated (after playing in less than 25 games TOTAL counting the post season) is rediculous. Hes going to have a great season this year, thats easy to tell with how he is taking it to opposing team starters with relative ease.
Then again, Id probably be bitter too if my team was beaten in the post season by a rookie who didnt even play any regular season ball.
