    Is it just me, or does he look like a bad... ass out there?! He has this look like he is ready to scrap. He is not scared of Dampier. I am going to like this guy!!! He is a tuff guy!!! We need a body like him.

    At least, that is my initial reaction of him. First impressions mean a lot to me and his first couple of plays were good in my book.

    Well, we're going to need 20-25 mpg from Pendergraph from here on out.

    I was excited to see him get that dunk, too. He seemed pretty pumped about it as well.

    I'm sure he'll get some time once Aldridge and Howard go down with season ending injuries... SHEESH!

    Actually, I do think he'll contribute a bit when his number is called. He was probably a bit nervous out there tonight.

    I did a nice comparison between Pendergraph & Hansbrough around draft time. If you ask me, they are pretty much the same player in the NBA, but Pendergraph has the size advantage and is more efficient.

    Pendergraph isn't in game shape yet--it'll take awhile before we see the real Pendergraph.

    He didn't look good, but for a guy who hasn't played a competitive game in over 8 months and had hip surgery in September? :dunno: I guess I can't complain too much.

    This.

    Remember the difference with Greg from this year and last year? Two words. Game shape.

    I thought Pendergraph did great for absolutely being thrown into the fire. They talk about throwing players into the fire. This was pretty much it. He had a couple of practices, and then, bam, NBA minutes. I agree with the assesments above. He looked tough. I also wanted to say, on that first block he was called a foul for, that was total bullshit. His block was clean. His physicality put a stop to Dampier getting loose on us in the middle. Dampier was running amok on Lamarcus and Howard. Then Pendergraph came in, and that pretty much stopped.

    Nice job on that man. Interesting. Pendergraph definitly has some nice tools with the wingspan.

    He already looks better to me than Hasheem Thabeet. He looked pretty bad though.
