Monta Ellis is the future.

[L Mac-a-docious]

Anyone see him last night? It was a weak ass game, but Monta is for real. He's got Arenas type quickness, and he can jump out of the building. Kobe couldn't fuck with trying to guard him, and he's fresh out of high school? Man...can someone please snipe D. Fisher?

 

[vokal]

i say if he got to play more during the season he could be a contender for rookie of the year

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

If he was THAT good...why doesnt he get MORE..or ANY press???Theres obviously something about him that aint all that great....

 

[AC Transit]

actually for a rookie who doesnt play too much, i have seen a fair amount of press on Monta and not strictly from Mississippi and Bay papers. I think there's been Washington post and other articles on him through out the year.

I agree, Monta will be pretty good in years to come. Hopefully he can press Baron into getting his fat ass in shape.

 

[DubbC415]

yeah, he made the front cover of the Sf bay guardian...i think just for being his size, a second round pick, being on the warriors, and not playing very much, people are just catching on.


and come on, the warriors NEVER get any press anyway, so the fact that he doesnt seem to get much should have no bearing on how good of a player he is.

beacuse coach montgomery is a sucka

Don't forget Monte is like a glove on Defense. He plays great D for a young player. But really the reason why he doesnt get much playing time because hes not physically strong enough yet to handle bigger guards. he weights 175lbs and thats being generous, he could weight less than that.

True...his D is way underrated. And about his size, trip, the dude is only 20 yrs old, he's got time to fill out.

next year is playoffs, gay as fuck that adonnal foyle and fisher got fat contracts for their roles...

 

[TONY206]

I'm watching him for the first time as a Warrior and WOW is he impressive. Also, I've seen Diogu play before and liked him and he's showing what great potential he has as well.

^^^theyre lighting the mavericks UP right now. ellis shook stackhouse earlier in the game too

Word...I dont recall Gilbert Arenas getting alot press his rookie year and look at him now..not sayin Monta will end up as good but he will be a star in a few years..

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

^^^I knew about Gilbert Arenas when he was playin for GS...i always knew he had star potential...he just needed to get OUT of GS to do it...much like Jermaine O'Neal had to leave PO...

 

[3VID3NC3]

^^^I knew about Gilbert Arenas when he was playin for GS...

And now you know about Monta...:devious:

 

[:ab:]

Yeah, sad thing about it, these great players that shine develop and start to do good in GSwarrior's uni, but all they're doing is working hard to get that big ass contract OUT of golden state....so many quality players passed thru it's fucking unbelievable...
BUt monta got D and is quick as FUCK.....we'll see how he develops offensively and if he gains any basketball intelligence, which I doubt for a 18-19 year old coming out of high school, no college basketball coaching, and ridiculous paychecks......

He's already got good bball intelligence for a 19 year old..probally more then Fisher does at 30-31 years old. He's got a good mindset going into the game and he's pretty confident and fearless for his age. He realizes it all starts with defense, unlike some players who do nothing but use all their energy on offense. I wouldn't worry about his bball IQ, Id be worrying about Peitrus more.

Couldn't have said it better.
