Yeah last night wasnt even on Tolliver the dude IS NOT a center, what did they expect to happen when they have a guy totally undersized guarding the paint vs a team thats just massive anyways...
BPM through six games 1. Lillard 2. Skal 3. Hood Skal is also the only blazer that has a positive BPM on both offense and defense.
Skal Labissiere Per 36 Stats: 20.1 PPG 10.5 RPG 2.3 BPG 66.7 FG% 68.2 TS% Why the hell is he only playing 13 minutes per game?!
Except he'll be playing absolutely fine and Stotts will yank him anyway. I bet he's in as good of shape as Anthony Tolliver.
Sucks that we lost both Hood and Skal for the end of the Sixers game. We would have probably won it with them.
Skal is going to be really really good when he can use both hands to protect the ball ..Sheed had way better hands. Skal tips balls to the other team or out of bounds pretty often going for a board or sometimes during a jump ball....that'll hopefully come around and improve for him. What I've seen so far is he has great skillsets but one glaring need for improvement...protecting the ball...he likes to one hand the ball too much
The problem is Skal has no future in our rotation once Collins and Nurk are back. So any minutes we invest in him are a sunken investment we could have used on other players. I’d like to see Mario get more minutes. We’re going to need Mario’s athleticism and passing in the playoffs more than Skal’s skill set.
Can’t wait to see him move back to the four where he belongs, but he’s done a commendable job playing out of position. His shot is so wet. The Collins/Skal pairing will be fun.
He really should be playing the 4. As good as he's looked on offense, his defensive awareness is so poor and he's constantly beaten on the defensive glass. A lot of these are less of an issue at 4. I'd like to see him get some time next to Whiteside, he's a decent 3 point shooter and if he's guarding another stretch 4, he shouldn't be beaten so often on drives.
Nas at 19 is really good about protecting the ball...he two hands his rebounds and gets the ball up to his chest after a board
