    Wonder which team in the Chinese league he'll end up playing for.

    A lot of bad decisions to come out this year.

    Any more than, say, 10 such decisions means there are probably going to be some bad ones.

    I can't say I follow this too closely, so maybe someone can tell me how many underclassmen come out in a typical year.

    I'd have to check, but it seems like more than in recent years.

    That's a really good point. That's four HOF locks in the first round. A couple others are probably borderline.

    If you to pick a better pure shooter do you take Stojaovic or Allen?

    Even as a Kings fan, I'd take Allen.

    Locks are Iverson, Allen, Nash and Kobe.

    Who is borderline?

    Borderline might be overstating it, but Peja and Marbury were the two I was thinking of. It's a lot easier to get into the Basketball HOF than it is into Canton or Cooperstown.

    Marbury? Not even close. You have to do it for more than four seasons.

    Well, he did average 19.3 points and 7.6 assists over a 15-year career.

    I agree he's probably not getting in, but he's not like some of these guys who are great for 4-5 years and then completely fall off the map.
