Contemplating the NBA while getting ready for the real job:
1. These young players are the truth: Al Horford, Andrew Bynum, Rudy Gay (has the potential to be an unstoppable scorer), Nate Robinson (the new microwave), Derrick Rose, O.J. Mayo (his name is too good to fail), Brandon Roy, Rudy Fernandez, pretty much the entire Blazers team, Glen "Big Baby" Davis. There are more, but it's early and I can't think straight.
2. These youngins are what you think they are: Carl Landry (one-year wonder), Greg Oden (great defender when healthy, never healthy), O.J. Mayo (streak shooter, hey I like the guy, but he was streaky in college), Joakim Noah (on the wrong team, can we get him on the Knicks? He was born to play for D'Antoni), Ty Thomas (tantalizing potential that may never be realized), Yi Jianlian (looks great against a chair; against people, not so much).
3. Can Udonis Haslem get some love for doing the dirty work on what might be the most undersized front-line in basketball? The Heat don't have a starter taller than 6-9, and Udonis move to center (his college position) to give the Heat some muscle in the middle.
