Best lines (fron Draft Express) on 6'6 PG Mardy Collins for all the people who kvetch about defense

He has superb hands and outstanding anticipation skills, and his excellent footwork, wingspan and lateral movement do the rest. He gets his hands on a huge amount of deflections every game, coming up with steals, blocks and igniting the fast break for his team and often finishing it himself. He's also a solid rebounder for his position, averaging just under 5 per game on the year.


And then, did somebody say "intelligence"?

Collins’ intangibles are outstanding, possessing fine leadership skills and an excellent demeanor on the floor. He’s an intelligent player both on and off the court who does exactly what’s asked of him by his coaches.

The only question is can the new guys play winning baskeball

he's a slow combo guard who cant shoot the rock. in a league where skills are at a premium we went the other way. Lets see those guys in there together lets see guys like devin harris buzz right around collins and lets see balkman guard a real SF like Paul Pierce who outweighs him ny 35 pounds

I'm not knocking Collings but I wonder if a fair NBA comparison is Shandon Anderson?

remember briggs last year when he went nuts about frye and wanted bynum and it was like two months before someone pleaded he stop the bynum nonsense.

That means we have another 60 days of this.

Not even comparable to Shandon. The comparisons to McKie make sense. I also see a lot of Eric Snow in him.

is Collins going to be given the opportunity to start at 1?

the only thing that scares me is that Briggs is right more than he is wrong...so, seeing him go crazy gives me pause even here in europe, but I still would prefer Frye over Bynum, so I'm pretty cool with a defensive rebounding 3 that thinks defense first.

While I like Qwoods at the 3, he's more offense then defense.

I've always thought of nate as a SG, and forcing him to be a point guard was all LB, he's a 2, you can tell by how often he shoots.

So, our bench is now has energy rebounding and defense in
Collins, Nate, blackman, lee

Love it lots
