defender? I can't get a read, different sites say different things. He seems to have the athleticism to stick to PGs, but doesn't have elite wingspan. Wouldn't hate the pick, but I'd be dissapointed if we passed on Tatum/Isaac for him.
"After losing three of its last five games and allowing LSU to score 58 second-half points Tuesday night, John Calipari said Friday his team has to get defensive to get back on track, and that includes Malik Monk making a bigger impact on that side of the court.
However, the idea to play Monk less if his defense doesn’t improve was not by the coach, but actually the player himself.
"I said to him, 'you're not rebounding, you're not defending the way you should. How are we dealing with this?' Calipari said Friday about his talk with Monk about defense. "He said, 'coach, tell me and if I don't do it, sit me.' That's how they should feel. If I'm not doing my job, sit me out."
That sounds like a player who’s more than willing to admit his faults and correct them. Monk has been unfairly criticized recently for his lack of defense, which this team as a whole is struggling with." Link - ( New Window )
took another shot at Ewing today apparently per TMZ
Let's be honest about Oakley. He's a fucking maniac.
No doubt about it. I understand him knocking the guys who work for Dolan but Ewing isn't a Dolan lackey. Far from it.
Speaking of TMZ and taking shots... Ron Harper on Rose
Doesn't matter where Derrick Rose ends up in free agency ... he'll NEVER win a championship -- so says Ron Harper.
Earlier this week, Rose says finding a winning team is more important than a big contract when he searches for a new team this summer.
"Not even thinking money," Rose said ... "I'm not going to negotiate with people where money is the number one thing I'm asking for. I want to win."
So, we went to Harper -- a 5-time NBA champ -- and asked which team could be the right fit.
Harper says it won't matter -- he ain't gonna win.
I have to say, the not going to UK-UCLA strikes me as nothing big Â
He can view the tape and it's not as if this is some singular moment allowing him to scout these players. BFD.
I also have to say that it's more than a bit amusing how enthralled the basketball media has been with Magic Johnson given what a disaster he was as a coach.

guarantee if he doea a bad job media will say it is not his fault..
remember when phil was rumored to go to lakers all the media was saying how great a move it would be for.lakers them he went to knicks and it became a hlrrible moved
far the one + I'll give Magic is he seems committed to a full rebuild/tanking. We'll see if he actually continues with that (or if Jeannie allows that) but for now that's one thing I like about him over Phil. If Phil has a change of heart this off-season I'll adjust my view.

Who doesn't want superstars? Easier to add superstars with either appealing young talent to pair them with or trade for. Superstars are always an ideal outcome.
