Nate has probably the best jump shot and quickest first step of anyone on the team, and he plays hard. He has the potential to be a perennial game changing 6th man of the year force like Bobby Jackson and Earl Boykins used to be, and that's nothing to sneeze at. But he is a bit of a rockhead unfortunately. I wouldn't be against trading him though I wouldn't sell him cheap.
I love what he brings, but we already have guys that bring that. We need some variety to help our coaches make adjustments at crucial periods. How nice was it for Isiah to be able to go offense defense with his frontcourt last night. We need that flexibility in the backcourt. Nate, Craw, Francis and Marbs can all play but they don't provide us with any backcourt flexibility. We keep beating ourselves over the head trying to find ways to improve but trust me, as a coach, this is the quickest way.
