    Is this a bad time to point out who didn't guard his man?

    ZBo is notorious for getting his shot swatted.

    I'm tired right now and don't really care. But, he gets his shot blocked, a lot. I saw it in summer league, and I've read it referenced it with stats. I'd love to be wrong on this, as my avatar will attest.

    His mentor has been Al Jefferson who couldn't jump over a post card..under the rim player. He's adjusting to his new core strength and from what he said is well aware of the work he's got to do...he might surpise folks after the allstar break. He'll slowly get some of Kaman's burn as the season goes on and Kaman gets even older

    Exactly, thanks.

    Just to restate my point: Vonleh is a beast. His only real question marks are defense, IQ, and passing. He might be great at all of these, I just have no idea. Him being 3 years away is ludicrous.

    This scout Finch is funny, a master of the backhand compliment.

    I'm only showing the best 21 of his 50 evaluations. Plus there's a long intro, so my 3 posts are at most a third of the article. So don't worry about copywrite.

    Just got done perusing the box scores of the two preseason games yesterday. It might be the preseason and they might have been other cities' teams, but I felt like I just had a nice cool gulp of water after months spent in the desert. And damn was it tasty! I can't wait for more......its been too damn long.
