    Not sure about his family? Like the rest of us....we can’t always pick our family.

    I used cheese because it represents money and also cheap/readily available.....like government cheese.
    Not worthy of tripping an elderly person. Lol

    Ah I was going for the 'official' rat-family TM of the Rome show, Coach K is a member and Grayson has a certain 'rat-like' quality that makes him a perfect fit. Other charter members of the rat-family TM Rome show are Mike Shanahan and son, but I see you working! :cool:

    He has basketball feel. Good entry passer. Solid Shooter. Can drive. Wants the ball. All things to like. He's a baller. Don't see him making it to the 2nd round. Too much potential. He plays bigger than his height, for better or worse.

    Can't stand him. I hope he's not a Rocket.

    Dear god, no. I don't want that cheap-shot punk on the Rockets.

    I look forward to the day that someone such as Patrick Beverley or Rondo kicks Grayson's ass.

    I agree, are there any Duke guards playing in the NBA, well there is one but that's seems abnormal.

    Hell no, league is getting longer and more athletic and this guy doesn't have either.

    We should draft Isaac Bonga (should be avail mid to late 2nd) because in 2-3 years he will be a beast.

    Also Justise, Cook and Hood (plays some mins at guard) and my favorite of the Curry's: Seth.

    Can't forget the rook Luke Kennard.

    Ainge with his scrappy play is a good comparable.

    If you think he's a Utah type player, he's probably most like a smaller Matt Harpring.

    He's definitely a scrapper, loves to win, and plays hard all the time with abandon. He puts himself out there and he's got great instincts. And the devil persona about him is way way overblown.

    If I had to compare him to a black player....Marcus Smart with a jump shot. Smart plays rough and tough. He fights for every inch of the court. That's Grayson. I think he also bears a resemblance to PJ in the way he grinds. A bigger Derek Fisher. Maybe some Matt Barnes and Bruce Bowen thrown in there although I think he's better than both those players. A smaller Artest? (I think that's very possible. With more off-court stability.....which Artest overcame-kudos MWP.)

    I don't see him available at the middle of the second. Would love to have him there. But don't think he'll be there and if he is there.....I can't see Harden wanting to play with him.

    I could see the Wolves wanting him. He's right up Thibs' alley. I could also see him in Memphis in their physical defense.

    I like him and have liked him since he was a freshman. Never bought into any of the negative hype. I think he's going to be one of the ten best players in the draft when his career is over even though he's likely to go much lower. He's a basketball dawg.
