watch wst virginia and okl at 830

two really good players who will be first round picks--both who we could use, Taj Gray of okla and Mike Gansey of WV are playing--so you can take a look at some really good styles of play from two different teams hat are well-coached. Youll see some intenisty and hard smart play.

and the best name in sports... Pittsnoggle!!!!!!

to get onto WV, they show you why team play wins games--every possession with ball movement cuts and screens they are able to get a wide open jump shot or a back door lay up. Its a very entertaining style of play. Frye could be a geat player in a system like that because of his inside outside abilities. we just need 8 more guys like frye.

I love WV's style on offense, its pure basketball, no streetball crap. Theres one guy Isiah and Larry should be looking at for early second round this year and thats Kevin Pittsnoggle, he's the ultimate Larry Brown player. He can shoot, he can rebound, he can pass, he can defend,he just know how to play basketball. He'd be a perfect role player in a Larry Brown system. Man, I'd love a team of Chaning Frye's, it'd be something different in the NBA. I'm so tired of watching the same old same old where everyone except 2 teams play the same style.

I really like Gansey alot, I just worry about him in the pros. At 6'4, he's going to have to play point and I don't think he has the ballhandling skills to do it. Positives about him though; he can shoot lights out, he can penetrate, plays great D. If he can just somehow figure out a way to bump up his quickness and ball-handling he'll make a really nice player in the pros.

Didn't Ariza go in the mid second round?

everytime i see taj gray, i get more impressed. its rare to find someone 6-9 who has that combination of fundamental low post game with a beautiful touch and serious run-jump athletiscm. He looks like he could be a falt out star at the next level.

Guys like Gansey and Pittsnoggle are NBA bench guys, but they can be imporatnt types of role players. Its all about TEAM and these guys have skills for the nBA level--not quite the speed or athletsicm to make a huge hit, but smart tough and fundamental enough in their own right sto be imporatnt bench players for any team. You need these types of guys

the difference between a Taj gray is that he has physcial nba all star talent potential, a player who can be a 1-2 option on an nba team. I think he would be an absolute stud on Phoenix at C. You put him and Stoudemire together with nash and marion, oh my god.
