absolutely. ive been talking him up for a year. i think hes a mini dwayne wade, i would have no problem even if we took him 30 in some circumsyances. we wont get him at 53, wed have to move up in the 2nd round, perhaps by offering 53 and $$$ to get right up to the 32-36 area.

no way that a guy 5-9 is a mini Wade. you cant be 5-9 and do the things Wade does in the NBA.

thats why i called him a min dwayne wade. hes built like dwayne wade, jumps like dwayne, although nate is a better shooter and ballhandler albeit he is 5-9 185, he can dunk with his head at rim level, reverse, windmill all at 5-9

one thing about Nate.. people put him at PG at this level because he's small, but he's never played PG, doesnt play like a PG and doesnt really have PG skills. He's one of the best scorers in CBB and dont get me wrong... he's a spark plug and when people see him play and the speed he plays at they will say oooohhh.

Bottom line though? A 5'9 shooting guard.

Now you always hear me harping about stlye of play. If we could move around in this draft a little and come away with Petro, Warrick and Nate Robinson, trade one of our slow guys and we are on the way to an exciting uptempo team.

Nate plays PG fine, in fact he was much improved this year. He's got a very nice handle, he's quick and strong with the ball. he's actually a very good rebounder--would trump any guard we have had in the last several years in the reb dept per minute played. In the NBA, he will be exciting reb and pushing it--i think he stays in seattle as a back up to ridnour anyway. He's good theatre

great theatre and in the open court will score everytime. Handling the ball in CBB and running an NBA offense are pretty far apart, so agree to disagree there.

I would bet NR is on Isiah's radar. Lets face it.. he loves small fast guys.

If he is like Boykins, I would consider getting this dude if anyone else don't draft him...

you can see clearly that he moved towards the PG with his numbers this year, but that did not effect his rebounding his high FG% or anything else. His TO ratio is low and he is stealing 2 balls a game and he gets in your grill with his strength on the D

he is a min dwayne wade--hes the best athlete in the draft, hes built like a tank and has superior basketball skill.
