Malik Hairston!

[boutons_]

Pretty raw, but is fearless, rugged, and just knows how to play the damn game, how to move to where the action is.

I'm curious as to how he scored so well in DL? paint? jumpers? both?

only 22 but the very heavy beard shadow makes him look a lot older.

i hope bruce will teach him some tricks of the trade, he can be our kobe/lebron/melo stopper. he's strong and athletic. project udoka did not turn out as expected.

The Phoenix Suns: Where trading all the good picks and keeping all the bad picks happens.

If you actually think that is how the draft works then getting Barbosa pretty much kills your argument.

IIRC, Chump said he drives alot, and I also think he said he's decent at 3.

Man, I have been pulling for this guy to have a roster spot on our team since training camp. I was pretty pissed when they gave his spot to farmer lol. Anyway, yes he has so much he still needs to improve on but he has so much upside to his game.

Although he may never be a super freak at a certain stat, I see him as an "all purpose" kind of player. A player you can put on the floor that can give you both offense and defense while out there without much lose from either or. Seeing him with a spurs jersey on shows alot of promise for years to come.

What I think he seems to have improved on the most (since going to d-league) is he seems to be turning into an energy kind of player. One thing that I have noticed about last nights game is that he seems to not be forcing his game but he is letting his game come to him which is very good to see.

Bottom line IMO he is an NBA player

Malik, is this you?

Barbosa is pretty worthless now a days.

Malik Hairston. Malik Rose??? They kind of play the same around the rim. Would be nice to see if Hairston can get a dunk like Rose over Mutombo.

[EricB]

Except one is a power forward and the other is a guard.

[xellos88330]

Malik Rose was only 6'7". He could have been a guard.

So is the team he plays for. Doesn't make him a bad draft pick by any stretch of the imagination.
