    Robert Horry, from the SEC, wears number 25.


    And so does Chandler.

    He can be Battier. He needs a scorer like Lamb next to him.

    I mean wat? I'm jot saying we nees a big 3 to win. Our 3rd option just needs to put about 15ppg and have nights were he goes off for 20+ because we need him too and Parson has shown he is more than capable.

    ***** battier. I don't need another non stat guy. Chandler is gonna put up stats

    What he really needs to be on a championship team is the 6th man.
    Watch some old video of Bobby Jones on the Sixers to see what I mean,

    This year will be telling . . .

    If he has an improvement leap in year 2 like he did in year 1 - He ABSOLUTELY CAN.

    He has the basketball IQ and Athleticism to score - Just has to keep improving his shot

    Mad Chicken needs to improve his FT percentage in a big way.. He attacks too often to be 50% from the line. With that, and a more consistent 3-pt shot, he will be averaging 16 ppg.

    If he continues to improve he has the potential be the third option and the defensive stopper on a championship contender. The guy has the drive, smarts, skill and size to do it.

    he's capable but he has to be aggressive and looking for his shot.

    He can't be looking over his shoulder or worried about the rookies, although with a manager with daryl morey nobody's job is safe so he has to play every game like it's his last game.

    Don't know yet... really no one does.

    He's not a finished product yet, need to see how he develops.

    No. But he can be the best one on one defender.

    The first quesiton is whether or not he will start because if he comes off the bench...that's a whole new ballgame
