he should start

Who's his competition? Chris Quinn? I'd say he has a good chance to s tart if the season started today.

Well, young players often watch, learn from, and try to emulate the league's best players from recent years.
That's why so many players in the late 90's were deemed the "next Jordan".
If Chalmers likes to "penetrate and dish", he has probably been watching Steve Nash and Tony Parker (or maybe Chris Paul), who have popularized that style of play over the past couple years.
Of course, he's probably not yet ready for the starting role, but it's good to see that the rookies are learning from the stars that came before them.

the heat just need a good defensive point guard

so far chalmers has shown to be that and more.. i like this kid's potential and i think he'll complement wade well

Chalmers, Banks, and Quinn are good enough. Now If we could trade say blount or Haslem for Camby then that would be great.

And of course, the wolves didn't need him, no...

Nooooooooooooo!!!! Your kidding right? Chalmers a starter in this league?

I hope he does well...

well the pickins are slim at the position there in miami. they can't much worse than last year. hopefully.

Who?

woow I suggested ths 2 weeks ago. Will be a tough learning curve, but I think they should go for it. It will be a tough learning year overall for Heat (similar to the one good run Wade had rookie year)

He is starting...on our Summer league team...

Who?

looks like u dont watch college basketball.

It makes sense to give him a chance. That's why the Heat won't do it. Instead they will try to bring in a knucklehead like Jamaal Tinsley.

best indication that he'll be good.....the t-wolves traded him away. i think you could do a passable job as g.m. simply by studying what kevin mchale does and do the opposite. wolves don't want you? welcome aboard!

The Heat definitely won the Chalmers trade. He was a steal and the Wolves traded him

Yeah, I'm glad to see teams like the Celtics and Spurs pass this kid up in the first rd. He was terrific at KU even before that final shot. The guy is a ball player and teams are going to be kicking themselves for not drafting him.

Especially Boston. Nice pick with Giddens.

My heaters should have a great 08-09 season!
