nice.. nothing like taking out frustration on inferior players lol. I'm off to go play one on one against my 14 year old brother.. I'm gonna post that bastard up all effin game!
There's no chance they play him at off-guard, they are going to let him run the show and see what he can do given the reins ... it's 'go big or go home' time for J-Bay.
I'm kinda bummed, we know what Bayless can do against poor competition 1 on 1, I wanted to see Koponen get some burn and experience with our coaching staff. He has a high ceiling IMO and our guys on courtside were gushing about him a couple of weeks ago. Looked very good in that US v World game (against Rose and Mayo) and while I don't think he'll be a dynamo at all considering his struggles in Europe Jennings has struggled just as much.
No matter what position he plays, I hope he is encouraged to take outside shots and not drive to the rim. We all know he can do that . . . and whether he plays PG or SG, he has to be able to consiste3ntly knock down the jumper.
Tried that last year. Kop as PG and he did fairly well and Bayless as SG (and he did quite well). When we ran the offense through Bayless, things didn't move as well. Yes, we didn't have much for a summer league team but if Bayless couldn't run the point in summer league (when Kop could), what makes us think he can run the point during the regular season? I'll admit I'm a doubter. I don't see any kind of outside shot or ability to run the point, two things that should get from our PG. We get a decent running of the point (minus defense) from Sergio and a decent outside shot from Blake (and serviceable running of the point) but we get neither from Bayless. Gramps...
I'd rather see him working on his game with some established NBA guards this summer. Playing glorified streetball that is the summer league is not going to teach him anything. If I were Bayless, I'd be living in the gym shooting jumper after jumper.
umm. I regularly whoop up on my 9-year old son. We do what we have to do. I love the surprised look on his face when I block his shot like a volleyball spike. Ahh little people. Gotta love them.
Doubtful. Kopo has already played in two summer leagues and is off in Europe playing there for probably the next 3 years, he might be worth bringing over down the road, but I'm not holding my breath. Bayless on the other hand is a lottery pick who is making 2-3 million a year, which is a lot of scratch for a guy giving you 600 minutes of play in a season, it's absolutely critical they give him floor time to see what they've got.
I saw Bayless at dinner tonight and he said he was leaving for Arizona next week. He was with Aldridge and the majority of the restaurant gave them a round of applause when they left.
Benihana. They drove separately in almost identical black Range Rovers. While they were nice cars, it looked pretty stupid.
