I have to commend Steve Kerr and Ed Stefanski for taking Robin Lopez and Marreese Speights and making this a much easier decision for Otis Smith. In all seriousness, a job well done taking Courtney Lee on Thursday night and adding a potentially valuable piece for next season.
Like most new 2-guards, he slashes very well and hes a pretty good spot-up shooter, which makes him valuable in the SVG offense. He probably won't start since Hedo will be moving back to the 2, but he could be a huge lift off the bench. From what I've heard off the court and in his conference yesterday, he doesn't look like he'll be trouble. Plus, he led a 12-seed to the Sweet 16 and gave UCLA a run for their money, so that's gotta count for something, right?
You won't hear me say this too often but, good job, Otis.

I love Courtney Lee's game. Good pick up there. Yet another nail in J.J. Redick's coffin in Orlando, if you ask me.
Also, Robin Lopez is the perfect fit for Phoenix. Doesn't need to score, but can rebound and defend and gets out on the break well enough.
