Poll: The steal of the draft will be:

Rashad Phillips, Detroit Mercy University

This kid can flat out play, I had the opportunity to see him play several times, he reminds me Iverson without the tattoos and rap.

I just want to see him go down the path Riley did and prove that it's more about the talent than the coaching.

In comparison, Larry Brown did a monumental job with the Sixers.

I spent four years in Chicago in the late '90s and Phil and his bullshit just wore on me. Phil's answer in Chicago was two words. Michael Jordan Look at the '94-95 season as legitimate proof. Phil couldn't even get that team past the Conference Finals.

My point is, put Phil on twenty some NBA teams and he dosn't put them over the top. Put Phil Jackson as the head coach of the Sixers this past season and they're packing their bags after the second round.
