I have a feeling
that Jackson and Kinsey are going to major player for the Cavs this year. I am sure they will get much better by playing summer league. J.J Hickson is looking like he will be lucky to make the team this year.

JJ Hickson could turn into a solid bench player for us this year if he stays healthy. With his athletic ability alone its gonna be hard for Mike Brown to leave him off the team. He’s a high energy guy with offensive skills that Anderson Varejao could only dream of having. Basically what i’m saying is that Hickson has to play as long as he is healthy.

this is one of the least accurate comments i’ve seen here in a while.
hickson has a back injury that’s keeping him out of summer league.

I love both draft picks this year. They are really doing things the right way down a the Q.

at least you’re consistent…
Come on Ferry is this all you have. Seriously you can’t win championships with mush players. Lebron is most definatly at fault here also. His head games are costing the Cavs players and his chances at a championship in Cleveland. If we don’t win it all this year and Lebron leaves then screw him and his mega attitude problem. Stop playing head games with Cleveland, Lebron and grow up.
quoting you, from another thread. so, which is it? they’re doing things the right way or putting together mush?

Yeah, this is great. He’s always trashing Ferry and the front office, and now he says they’re going things the right way? How funny.

Maybe you missed the sarcasm.

Yea Roger I guess only you and I are excited about that. I have been saying it on other blog sites that this dude is a player. He was really solid at Mizzou and an important part of their run to the elite 8. I think he could be the kind of stretch player the Cavs need. He has good size and can knock downan open j. He went to school for 4 yrs which is also a plus. He and Green have to best chance of making the roster IMO.
Can Danny Green defend the 2? I hated him at UNC (which is good because I am a Duke fan) but I don’t remember him trying to take on Duke’s smaller/quicker athletes.
i think delonte, anthony parker, and LeBron will get the lion’s share of the minutes against the opposing 2’s, with green coming in and getting some time to adjust and see if he can handle the 2 or is better served guarding the 3. i would imagine they expect him to be able to guard the 2, but he won’t have to do it in high-leverage situations very often.

He’s 18 and was playing in a 2nd tier Spanish league last year. I would say he is not quite ready for the competition in the NBA or the NBA summer league.
Right. He probably won’t play in the NBA for a couple years while he refines his game in Europe. The Spurs have done this a couple times, most notably with Manu Ginobli. The pick was definitely a move for the future by Ferry, so I wouldn’t worry too much about how he plays right now.
