Brad- things never go your way it seems
...
Yes, I can see where the comparisons to Ricky Davis come from--super athletic, smooth jumpshot, boneheaded, forces things--but I don't think it's that bad; come on, the guy had a reverse dunk over Brad Miller in double OT, and he hit a clutch three.
The Clips are clearly making him their go-to guy (yes, a rookie who got snubbed in the rookie-soph game their go-to guy) and because he's still a rookie, you've got to take the good with the bad.
Yeah, I know he had 10 turnovers (screwed my fantasy) in that game against Philly, but come on, he's a guy definitely on the rise and he's had the benefit of extra playing time.
And I don't think he has any selfishness issues to speak of--seeing the game, he's only taking the scoring load because the Clippers need it.
If he were on our team, I'm not saying he'd be our next young cultivation of G-Wall--but come on, the athleticism is nearly uncanny, and the guy has a jumpshot.
While I like Hawes, particularly with the blocks he's accumulated the past couple of games, I don't think he has quite the upside Thornton has.
I mean, he'll be good for us and perhaps an heir apparent to Brad Miller, but we saw why Thornton was so good last night.

If Spencer takes after Brad or Vlade I'll be happy ... that's probably closer than Kaman, I think.

I do see him become an offensive inside-outside guy at his prime with passing skills, sort of like Miller or Divac.

Spencer already has more post moves than Brad.
