After all that reading, the one thing that stood out to me was the suggestion that Phoenix regretted over paying Richardson (after one year) and immediately traded him to the Knicks. Makes us sound like a dumping ground.....

Well, we dumped Kurt Thomas on them, didn't we?
yeah, I agree.
most surprising busts in summer league: Shelden Williams and LaMarcus Aldridge. LaMarcus will be okay as he gets stronger, but Shelden's play is shocking so far. he won't need to do much more than defend on the Hawks, but 8ppg on 33% shooting...whew!
also, not quite sure how the Knicks qualify as "Muddy Waters" when he had nothing but good things to say about everyone but Mardy Collins.
I thought Chad did a great job of analyzing the whole thing. That was a solid piece. I agree with him, Balkman played well at times[way better than Collins imho] but I dont know how or where you play him at the nba level, and that we did indeed make a dumb mistake bypassing better talent to reach for balkman who we couldve had at 29. Collins was not as bad as Sheldan Williams or Aldridge if you take into consideration that they were picked so high, but Collins wa definitely one of just a few 1st round guys who did not perform well. Anyone who watched the SL knows that Collins played poor, not iff's about it. He was bad.
Balkman is a baller. Your making it too technical. Just put him on the floor and his energy will impact his team in a positive way.
What position should Rodman have played? How about Bonzi? Ceballos? Anthony Mason? Jerome Williams? Thios guys are heady/high energy ball players that find away to impact the game.
With all that said, play Balkman at SF
