he was a good player... after that trade to the pacers his career went downward. injuries and lack of playing time.

You remember incorrectly. LJIII was a favorite of RealGM, who said he was a leading candidate for MIP, and Charley Rosen of Fox Sports. It wasnt his teammates who said nice things about him, although Ed Stefanski (who signed him when the Tractor Traylor physical went south) did say he was looking good.

In 2004, however, people were saying nice things about Ron Mercer til he got hurt.

Nope, I specifically remember both RJ and Kidd saying something along the lines of Linton Johnson being the biggest surprise of training camp when doing their interviews during the NBATV real training camp thing that year. No idea if it can be found online anywhere, but if it can, it's there.

And here we go... from http://www.netsdaily.com/blog/?m=20051010

12:18 Interview with RJ… “This is actually pretty light as far as our practices go.”

RJ shows off his surgery scar. Says he’s been working on post-ups - shooting off both shoulders. Capstraw remarks how RJ was shooting when they arrived an hour and fifteen minutes before practice.

“Linton Johnson I think is somebody who is going to surprise a lot of people in the NBA this year.”

It wasnt his teammates who said nice things about him

Using NI to prove NI wrong... for the win!

I'll ask again. Is Kevin Love really THAT much better than Ryan Anderson to be picked 16 spots ahead of him?

And if not, then you'll see the real value of Ryan.

Stay tuned. Your question will begin to be answered this season.

Maybe, but also unlikely because Love will be getting way more minutes for the young and center-desperate Wolves.

"will BEGIN to be answered".

Love is a very good passer, both in the post and on the outlet...not that Anderson isn't a good passer. Love is just better. He is also a bull.

I didn't see Anderson backing down to anyone during this off season.

You found video clips of the last two practices? Youtube please.

 

[Claud]

I meant the Orlando summer league and the other one in Utah.
