Which is why, yes while he scores a lot, id still love to have him. That's like the poster that said d rose is a shoot first PG. not fair, yes he scores a lot, but he also averages a high assist and great a:to. He does the passing, handling and defensive part just fine, it's just overshadowed because of the scoring.
So no, i don't see the irony, at all.

Package deal? | I thought that was the case, but according to a few people close to the program, Pastner won't touch Forbes with a 10 foot pole.
I was hoping that Forbes would get consideration for a Memphis asst. spot. Great recruiter. | |

Just curious if he's gotten an unfair reputation now since he was the first one to not be able to ID the photo. | |

I have a feeling there may be some animosity between Pastner and Forbes. Doesn't seem like the shpw-cause would stop someone from hiring a solid assistant, especially when the sentence will be served and done soon. | |

| Jones should wise up and make his own deal, separate from Forbes. What good is it gonna do Jones if Forbes is an assistant on his new team? I've always wondered what the other players thought of these player-coach or highly rated player-player's best friend deals. Seems like it would bring some animosity.... | |

Hope he does well and is able to get an education. | |

| Not sure why he lists Ole Miss, Auburn, or S.C. Does not seem like good fits. | |

| Hopefully he goes to a school I won't hear much about. I already feel like I've been watching and listening to the kid for 5 years...I'd seriously hate to hear his name often for the next 3.
