BUT WHAT ABOUT SOURCES?!?! It wouldn't surprise me the slightest if you are right. I'm hoping this plays out with DJ ending up in the NBA. I have always believed that despite his height he had the right mix to become a solid NBA player. With a young child back home, the lure of the NBA might not be his lone motivation to getting back to the US. I've seen crazier things happen.

They have a new editor at the Post, a sophomore-maybe-turning-junior who's getting her feet wet. Let's hope that by fall she will have honed her editing skills to meet our exacting standards. Anyway, this is great news for DJ and for Mo. Good luck, guys. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

"The Cavs have tested the market in swapping Haywood either for a player or a future draft pick, sources said. On their wish list is a facilitating guard they can bring in to either back up or play alongside Kyrie Irving. The Cavs have a number of free agents, including backup point guard Matthew Dellavedova and starting shooting guard Iman Shumpert." http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/13112332/cleveland-cava...

I looked up DJ rumors and found that his Greek team lost in the playoffs 0-3 "matches". There was an interview which stated that he didn't play much the first 2 "matches", but scored 7 points with 6 assists in the third "match". He said he really loved the team and would love to come back and play there again next season. Sorry I couldn't copy the article, but that's the essence of it.

I agree he deserves a shot. We all know he can dish the ball. The big questions in my mind are: is he too small and not physical enough to play NBA defense (even if the NBA is god awful contact wise) and can he shoot well enough to stay in the league. If he has honed those two areas in Europe, he could make it! He has always reminded me of nick van exel...time will tell.

The thing I like about DJ's situation is that he's succeeded in Europe. Things went well for him. So he's only going to move up. Whether it's the NBA this upcoming season or in 2-3 years (if he sticks with it), DJ is on the rise. What a day at the Convo.....Wow!

The ones that make it difficult for DJ to get in the league are 6'4" vs. 6'0" and 176# vs 190#. The NBA is a big manz league. I still think it is "possible" for DJ to make a team but it is a real uphill battle.

Add to that, there are also 30 new really good players getting paid a ton of money every year coming out of college! I agree Casper. I think watching Delly guard Curry in the finals it was clear his size helped him defensively. DJ is a good defender but defensively his style is completely different from Dellavedova. Delly had some ability to man up on guys. DJ is less physical and more about his quickness going for steals. Most of the small guys in the NBA are elite outside shooters. DJ is solid, but that isn't his game. I've always thought DJ's court vision/awareness would make him a good NBA player but I'm not surprised people are skeptical. I really hope he gets his shot for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that I am really curious to see how his style translates.

PG B- 25min, 23pts(7-12), 3ast, 1reb, 2stl, 3TO. Memphis PG A- 32min, 19pts(6-13), 4ast, 3reb, 2stl, 5TO. PG B- 40min, 10pts(3-13), 7ast, 3reb, 1st, 6TO. I assume those that place a premium on 4 inches and 14 pounds can quickly and easily identify which PG is the one that can play at the next level and which one cannot. MY STATE. MY TEAM.
