True. But Max has the advantage of only being 20 when drafted, and having his A potential be definitely proven to be true.
Personally, I would take Max as he is right now over any PG in the draft. Ditto, which is way I traded for him. Also, I know that the Nets also think highly of Max, and Bods is rarely wong about such things, so that also factored into my dcision. |

No doubt about that and I doubt anyone of this years PG crop can repeat Max' wonderful TC (although two of them are A pot, one is B and one is C). But I also don't see Max being a starter now, at least not on a good team. He has limitless potential, but isn't there yet. |

Hmm. I think he is a decent starter at this point. Defensively not great, but the Nets have had B or worse starting SG's for years now. I would say let the boy play before deciding whether he is a decent starter. So far, he has show himself to be pretty good. I would say he is a lower scoring version of Earl Boykins at this point. And that is not bad. |

I say let the kid start for more than 1 sim before judging him one way or the other. He has played a grand total of 4 games as a starter. And those 4 games were against the Pacers, Knicks, Bucks & Suns. Not the top competition in the league by far. Oh, and did I mention his team went 1-3 against that stellar competition?

Gutierrez did nothing spectacular other than dish to the big guy (i mean WE ALL could get 10apg playing with Yao) and made a couple of wide open shots off doubled and tripled Yao dishes. On the other end? so-so.
Please keep your excitement in check, guys

No one has called him the next coming of Kirk Hinrich  But he played decently in his first start. The Raptors are not truly in the title run this year, so building for the future is a good thing. Just give him a chance before calling him a below average starter. |

Pretty much fuzz about 12th pick.... I'm sad to see Max gone, it seems he's already capable of being a starter and putting some pretty good numbers. Now let's talk about the new deadliest duo in the game. |

Go get in line, Okafor and Pettit is the best duo.

Please keep your excitement in check, guys Why not just leave us be? I see no reasons why you need to downplay my player's individual results. |

I second that. He'll be a top PG in couple of seasons.

I see no reasons why you need to downplay my player's individual results.
I'm sorry, i didn't want to downplay his potential which is huge and all signs point to him becoming a great PG. But i don't like announcing "a star is born" after one (nice, but mainly losing) sim. That's all. I'll leave it at that ...  |
