Not ready to call him special yet.  Summer league means little.

He appears to have a great combination of skill and length, with enough athleticism to make it all work.  But I need to see him stretch his range out to the three-point line and also work on generating some easier looks.  Hard to live in this league on contested deep twos.  That can be part of the package, but not the whole thing.


  I'm Calling him special. The Boston Celtics and Danny Ainge determined he is the best player in a absolutely stacked draft.

 He's a future all Star, anything less would be uncivilized.

Ask Jenna Dewan.

She literally changed my life in Step Up.  Clearly his, too.   But, Jayson's turnaround fade-away may end up being prettier than both of them.

;D I'm just hoping to hear Tommy inadvertently turn to Gorman during a broadcast next season and say something like, "that move/pass/shot was magic, Mike."

The kid is a complete player with a modern nba body.
He has the confidence of an allstar and he's a gym rat.
I don't see Derozan in him. More of a PG, Pierce, greek freak type of player.
