We were in early, seems like he dropped in rating. Probably needs to go somewhere where he is in the rotation or starting. Then make a play for a top program.

Where do I start?
Of course. The "experts" ranked a few hundred guys ahead of him.

That Vaaks/Coleman backcourt is going to be a problem from day one. If ONLY we had a quality frontcourt to complement that… Oh wait…

not gonna lie, I really wanted Blackwell. upon further review, that "loss" may end up as a win. loving what Coleman brings. he's gonna be a problem straight out of the box. give him all the minutes, you don't put the reins on a thoroughbred. it starts in ~5 weeks. can't wait
Not saying this in any recency type of way but it's uncanny how much his play resembles Wagler. The smooth shot, stepbacks, etc. Seems to be a bit more explosive though a tad shorter. Maybe an even more dangerous scoring threat. I agree with the minutes as well. The rest can be allocated between Vaaks, Mirk, Stojakovic and Morillo but I'd like to see a veteran or experienced player in the rotation as well.
Coleman is going to be so good out the jump considering his play now, but especially when you take into account he'll be on the Fletch program for a few months before the season starts. As we've seen, it's elite.
Think Coleman can average 15-20+ points next season.
