"I think Taurean Green is going to win us three or four games for us this year,'' McMillan said. "I do.''

After I picked my jaw up off McMillan's desk, and asked him to repeat what he just said, the coach remained straight faced and insistent on his prediction.

"Hey, he can shoot, man,'' McMillan said.

I told him that I think the rookie point guard from Florida showed some guts and savvy during the summer league, but before I could say anything else, McMillan cut me off.

"You're damn right he does,'' McMillan said, referring to the guts and savvy comment. "He's small, but you don't win back-to-back (NCAA) championships as the starting point guard unless you can play.

All that seems to matter to Nate when it comes to point guards is "guts" and perimeter shooting ability. To hell with creativity, fuck running a pick and roll, damn the ability to break a man down off the dribble ... guts and shooting, guts and shooting ...

Gutsy players are scrappy players and scrappy players make shots.

When have we had a point guard with perimeter shooting ability?
