    I'm guessing that he should something is a typo but I can actually see Meyers being that confused at times. "I know I should do something, just not sure what."

    Pre-season is over and we still don't really know who has won a spot in the rotation....but it doesn't seem to be Thomas Robinson. I'd actually rather see Leonard play PF than Freeland, because at least Meyers can hit the 3....he's not as good at defense but he brings something positive to the table whereas Freeland is just sorta there...

    This is pretty much decided as far as i can tell. Kaman, Blake, Freeland and then you have Wright, CJ and Leonard. That is what you will see. You ain't seeing Barton or TRob until garbage time. You will not see Claver or Crabbe unless there are injuries.

    Remember TRob has been hampered by recovering from injury. But yes, he seems to be out of the rotation for now. Sucks that our two most exciting players, Will and TRob, still haven't worked out how to play. Still, we'll always have this:

    Just because he missed them doesn't man they were bad shits. He wasn't forcing his shits. He was open and all his shits came within the flow of the offense.

    For those of you who may be nursing an index finger injury, here is the money quote:

    Phew, that was worth waiting for. ;)

    Seriously, hit the link and check the Meyers interview if you haven't. It's a quick glimpse into what he's thinking and how he's approaching things. He's getting there.

    Meyers basically echoed what Kaman said about him. That alone says he's coachable and understands the hurdles he needs to clear to advance and be an asset to the team. I think both Freeland and Leonard have benefited from practicing against Rolo and Kaman instead of each other

    Especially Kamen, because if you scrimmage against him every day you have to learn to defend or he'll score on you every time. (JJ Hickson principle)

    He didn't take the typical road in terms of development and still has a lot to learn but his jumper is pure and has a great feel passing the ball.

    I see a bigger Mehmet Okur.

    Leonard and Robinson are the only guys on the team that know how to make a proper outlet pass. Last season I saw them both grab rebounds and throw an outlet pass within 2 seconds - it was beautiful. I think we might see a bit more of it with Kaman on the team.
