Admitted brain fart...guilty as charged. My point remains though. Monta Ellis is 6-3. Dwyane Wade is 6-4. Both are two guards. Malik is 6-4 and more than capable of playing the 2 in the NBA with some continued improvement.. He has not demonstrated any ability to play the point though, at least not yet. We'll see if that changes over the next few months.Quote:

He's had "best ever" whispered in his ear for the last five years so I think he's struggling with that some right now.Quote:

Z was much more athletic than both, but yes Timmy had much more athleticism than what Q has shown thus far. Timmy caught numerous lobs and threw them down effortlessly. Those were the years I was at State, so I know those teams better than other years. Q is significantly taller than Timmy. I would say Q is more like a bigger better version of Randy Stewart than he is like Timmy B.Quote:
