Probably my bad on that, Nate. I know your fandom is in the right place. Meanwhile, I finally get home tomorrow after two weeks on the road. Why or how Comcast NW can't put their games on the air if you're a subscriber is just baffling to me. I'm over crappy internet feeds and sketchy radio reception on the top of mountains in Montana.
"It's the most stressful time of the year. With the Pelicans hitting while T-Rob is sitting for reasons unclear; It's the most stressful time of the year..."
He's a project man. He has his ups and his downs. There's a reason why some of us have said that he would be the guy that we would move if we had to trade one of our young talented guys. I do see a bright future for him though. I think he has a ton of potential. I just think he needs a lot of work.
I'm not sure how three sentences equate to "a lot of legwork", but whatever. My post amused me (I'm admittedly easily amused). I thought it might amuse someone else too. Guess not. Oh well, there's always next time...
Tremendously. Thanks to this post, and KingSweep's rep on my parody verse, I now have the encouragement I need to go on.
I will say TRob looked great in the only game where he got decent minutes. When Aldridge got in foul trouble at home vs Phoenix, TRob relaxed and took over. 15 points, 9 rebounds, and we beat those guys. He knew he wouldn't be yanked. He hasn't had that kind of chance since. If Aldridge had to miss a game, I'm sure we'd see a much better TRob as a starter. It's so hard to contribute when your minutes aren't consistently given to you. Some people just aren't small minute players. They need a chance to breathe out there.
I agree, and maybe things would be different if TRob had been drafted by a team that needed a power forward. He didn't get much PT in Sac, and Houston wasn't playing him. It would be really interesting to see what he could do if he was consistently given 25-30 minutes per night. We just can't afford to give it to him. I like the kid. I think he's very talented, but we desperately need consistency on our bench right now. I would deal him if we could get someone like Hawes.
He BLOWS, and he's never been taught how to play basketball. I blame his high school coach and college coach. In 2013 you have to baby everyone, just to get them to sign. T rob is a ball full of talent who has no idea how to play the game.
The thing is, Robinson shows potential, and needs a lot of work. Leonard....I literally have not even seen anything to show potential with him. He could develop into a spot up shooter, but that's about it. Makes the Stotts' comments all the more confusing....And really concerning. “I want to help that second unit out with a little bit of spacing,” Stotts said. “Meyers has a good understanding of spacing, he sets screens. I think he and Joel play well together.” Stotts said Leonard will remain in the rotation. “I thought he played well,” Stotts said. “I thought he did what he needed him to do. He still needs to rebound better. But I was pleased with the way he played. He deserves another shot, that’s for sure.”
The offense is designed around LaMarcus at the PF as a pick and pop jump shooter. TRob is a terrible jump shooter. Meyers is a great jump shooter. When LMA has gone out of the game its caused our offense to really struggle creating quality shots. It could be contributing to Mo over dribbling. Before the season I thought it made the most sense to have Meyers be LMA backup with TRob being Lopez backup. Well turns out Freeland is Lopez backup at center. That might push TRob out of the rotation, and I'm fine with that. We've seen plenty of TRob this year and he plays out of control and takes a lot of long low percentage jump shots.
I get that he is a better jump shooter, but TRob is a much better rebounder.....With McCollum coming back, I would rather have a rebounder. Leonard is clumsy, and I don't believe you can fix clumsy. I hope I'm wrong.
In general, hasn't he hit those jump shots? TRob doesn't have a terrible %, does he? What his real problem is his back to the basket game. He's a mess with no plan when he gets it down low.
