There's a brand new sheriff in town.
"Who I am?
Who I am? Who am I?
"Who am I? " is a question for the ages.
That's one we're all searching for, to find out who I am.
Who's in there, who wants to come out and go "Hey, I'm hungry. "
Who I am is too deep and...
You got to go in and pull out the thing like that movie where the thing came out of the stomach and ate the people on the ****ing spaceship.
May they rest in peace..."

I'm also known as Flippy the Groin, Sammy the Schnoz EImer the Fudd, Tubby the Tuba and once as Miss Phyllis Levine.

But that was at a party, years ago.
I smoked a titibet, and I had a Quaalude and suddenly I'm in fishnets singing show tunes.
These things happen, but it has nothing to do with what I'm doing here with you fine gentlemen today.
So I apologize.
That being said, I'm also known to the people who know me the best as the freakin "GM."
The second part of your question that you "axed" me is "Why am I here? " I am here representing Minnesota as their new GM."
---So with that my pick is Shabazz Muhammad.
strengths: Fierce competitor with a scorers mentality ... Displays a killer instinct missing from many other prospect's games ... Uses screens to create catch-and-shoot opportunities well ... Quick lefty release, solid mechanices with range out to three point territory ... Can use his body to create space and get shots off near the basket ... Length (6-11 + wingspan) helps him get his shot off and create post-up opportunities against smaller wings ... Not afraid of contact and has the ability to get to the line at a high rate ... Was very proficient as an offensive rebounder, has a nose for the ball ... Developed a runner that looks very promising and was quite difficult to stop ... Noted for a strong work ethic, plays with a chip on his shoulder ... Wants the ball in the clutch and not shaken in end of game situations ... Length gives him potential as a defender ... Athleticism is quite solid and has an ability to play major minutes at optimum conditioning level ... Makes his move very quickly, does not stop the ball or take a lot of time off of the clock ... Shows a strong passion for the game and a will to improve ...
Weaknesses: Has trouble creating his own shot off of the dribble, shooting percentage plummets when he puts the ball on the floor ... Not a fluid athlete. Movements and overall skills appear rigid and herky jerky ... Far too reliant on his left hand, opponents know to force him to the right, and it severely limits his effectiveness ... His defensive awareness was severely tested during his lone year of college ball, must improve awareness on that side of the court ... Must improve shot selection ... Could stand to fine tune his jumpshot, become more efficient as a foul shooter ... His lack of statistical defensive production made some question his focus and energy on that end of the court ... Body language was a concern at certain points and made him appear at odds with teammates, even if that was not the case ... Sometimes gets tunnel vision, when guarded by multiple defenders will still look to shoot as opposed for looking to pass to an open teammate ... Defensive footwork can use a lot of fine tuning as far as guarding the perimeter ... Ball handling needs improvement, which most likely relegates him to the SF spot ... Despite having solid length, may be a tad undersized for the SF spot and could have a hard time at both ends of the floor against wings with greater length ... Piled up a number of injuries during his time on the UCLA campus, so question marks could arise surrounding durability ...
