Cliff Alexander is good enough to be a bench big somewhere. He's better than say, Thomas Robinson. Quarterman hasn't shot well at all, and I'm not sure the rest of his game will allow him to stick on an NBA roster. He's a smaller version of Montero.
Thomas Robinson has a PER that is double of Leonar_. At 16.3, it is pretty solid, and has been decent since his days with Portland. Tough guy, decent defender......would he be the worst fit next to Nurk?
T-Rob love and Tim Quarterman sightings aside, have you seen Nate Robinson's move in an NBDL game? Worth a look http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/nate-robinson-dribbles-player-legs-article-1.2982484
Just so long as he doesn't imitate them on defense. He's got close to a triple double a couple of times. He seems to be closer to what we hoped Luis Montero would be. If he could really work on being a lockdown defender he should stick.
Trob is terrible, you don't need a stat sheet to tell you that. I don't think he's even in the Lakers rotation anymore. He'll be in China soon. He still thinks he's a star that every coach is holding back. If he'd accept who he was (junkyard dog) he'd have a role in the league.
TRob plays one way...his way...the problem with him is that he's pretty uncoachable...I saw that in Portland...he's now on about his fifth team and couldn't crack the rotation on the worst team in the league..the Nets...now he is a role player off the bench in LA....it's a shame but he has zero BBIQ ....street baller...he wouldn't start here next to Nurkic unless he could get out of his own head and play with others. JJ Hickson is better than TRob...Dorell Wright is better than TRob...hell Jake Layman is probably better than TRob...as far as playing within a system
Quarterman didn't have a great game as Long Island lost, but his teammate Cliff Alexander looked good: He seems skinnier, and I don't remember him having a jumpshot!
Can we trade Vonleh, Leonard and Connaughton for him? Sure wish we could get players like that, with our coaching staff he'd be unstoppable. Why do we keep scrubs on the roster?
He got 28 and 14 today (going 11-12, and +15) today. And Quarterman missed a triple double by one rebound. But the team still lost.
