    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting NBA.com:</div><div class="quote_post">Who is the best assistant coach in the NBA?
    - Jim Todd (100%)</div>

    I predict that him and Norma Wick will get married one day during half time.

    Yeah, thanks for that Chutney. Looks like GM's think Garbajosa and Bargs are gonna make an impact on the team this year. Also its nice to hear that they think Bargs will be the best rookie in 5 years.

    Definitely a nice post and summary Chutney, the list of players that are the fastest with the ball is a pretty accurate list imo. (as selected by GMs)

    If Bargnani is the best player of the draft in 5 years I'd be happy.

    The Bargnani selection was probably the one thing you could take out from this survey. It seems Colangelo wasn't the only one who recognized his potential as well. Either that or they're just as scared of BC's awesome GM'ing abilities as our local reporters.
