I liked his passing. The rest not so much. First thing he needs to learn is to have his feet set before he catches the ball. The highlights reminded me of watching Adam Morrison in college in that you could see the plays he was successful at against college players are just not going to fly against NBA players, especially his plays in the paint. He's a long shot. I guess that's what two-way contracts are for. I do enjoy watching the young guys. I hope him the best.
Good start but McKINLEY WRIGHT IV is STILL AVAILABLE! Edit: ARGH! Wolves got him. Still, not the Lakers or anything like that.
Watching Watford's highlights - I like the skills, but he seems a bit gravity-bound. Maybe we can splice together his skills with Greg Browns hops?
Similar to Brown, Tankathon rating system does not like him: http://www.tankathon.com/players/trendon-watford
Two things I don't see in descriptions of either of our acquisitions is "really smart player". "great vision". Kind of wish we could have found someone like Jalen Brunson.
But, as with Brown, I'm happy Olshey is looking far ahead. I think he knows there is a good chance he won't even be around in three years when these two might finally become rotation players, but he is still acquiring them.
FWIW he was Alabama's "Mr. Basketball" twice... Past winners are mostly people I've never heard of, but also: JaMychal Green Gerald Wallace! Ennis Whatley!!
He's not particularly athletic and a jack of all trades master of none. He's like a bigger Elleby in some respects.
Wait this is guy is 240? He moves well for that size. Based on the roster right now wouldn't he be the 2nd biggest guy on the team? Seems like a good choice to try to develop. With his combination of length and quickness, he could make a very good perimeter defender against stretch 4s. Not saying he is super quick, but basically, he is the same size as Zach. I think his lateral movement is decent for a PF.
Everything he has done so far is just business as usual for good ol' Neil. He's been at this for so long, he doesn't even know how to deviate from his own script.
