He also has two guards who need the ball in their hands and Rudy who needs the ball at SF which limits him again because he doesn't get as much time to create off the dribble. <BR/><BR/>His biggest problem seems to be confidence because he's too comfortable being the role player. A little passive. He has the ability to demand more of himself on the court.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what to expect from him in his second year. I can't help feeling his talents are going to waste at the moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-68453715005572053852008-07-24T17:58:00.000-05:002008-07-24T17:58:00.000-05:00Good analysis Chip . . . overlooks two key things,...Good analysis Chip . . . overlooks two key things, I think.<BR/><BR/>Defense. If Kevin O'Neill is the defensive genius that Conley says he is, we're going to be very aggressive, which will likely force turnovers and hopefully some easy baskets. Which brings us to . . .<BR/><BR/>Offense. Ask Steve Nash and he'll tell you that as a PG, it never hurts to have great finishers. I think that for certain, Rudy and OJ will grow into great finishers, and we should probably expect good things from Arthur and Hak. Haven't even gotten to Gasol and Darko yet. So if these guys can finish at the basket, especially coming off of forced turnover fast breaks, look for Mike Conley to have a good year.<BR/><BR/>L3EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-19916438742466118012008-07-24T15:51:00.000-05:002008-07-24T15:51:00.000-05:00yo mane mah mane mike is da man mane. i'm call...yo mane mah mane mike is da man mane. i'm callin dis shiz rite now MVP!!!!!!!

They don't have near the talent level of Conley, especially Noah. Both of them are headcases- Wright doesn't ever play hard and Noah is a pot head that no one likes. Also, Mayo to me and many others is a 2-guard, so that doesn't impact Conley that much. He can play some point, but he really struggles when he does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-23651104030250254752008-07-24T10:55:00.000-05:002008-07-24T10:55:00.000-05:00i said last year to some friends that taking a PG ...i said last year to some friends that taking a PG (conley) was a mistake when considering the crop of PGs coming up in the 2008 draft. not to mention, we already had Lowry and a proven vet in Damon. Turns out, we got one of those 2008 PGs in Mayo. I totally agree with the above comment that drafting a big like Wright or Noah last year would have been best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-30062054708093143442008-07-24T09:23:00.000-05:002008-07-24T09:23:00.000-05:00Yes, that will leave you disappointed when you dra...Yes, that will leave you disappointed when you draft a PG in consecutive years.
