How good is LaMarcus Aldridge?

Man oh man...

 

R I D I C U L O U S


And unlike Roy.... He doesn't look 35 doing it.

 

He's good ... certainly not an all-star, but good.

 

He is no Kevin Love... (and that's a good thing)

 

I think he's really becoming the player that we hoped he would be, and that's great because we really need it.

 

He's a faster, more athletic, blacker Kevin Love!

 

What?!?! You can't possibly be any blacker than K.Love!

 

QFT

I hated people calling him soft because I believed he was just young, and had it in him to develop his game; he just needed time.

Then I lost faith with LA. Before Roy went down I had given up on LA, and accepted that he's an outside player.

However LA seems to have completely changed his game since Roy has been out.

Roy's injury has been the making of LA; he has stepped up when the team needed him, both off, and on the court.

I just hope that he doesn't take a back seat when Roy comes back.

+ 1. LMA needs to keep this up.

 

This new Aldridge is a stranger. He wasn't this dominant at Texas.

Before he emerged as a #1 option he was soft, tentative, and rarely attacked the hoop. He's a completely different player right now.

Rasheed Wallace minus the attitude?

 

Unlike Roy, he depends upon receiving good passes to do what he does. Thank Miller, Camby, Rudy, and the new assistant coaches for the change.

 

Which means it should be awesome when Roy goes to attack the rim and dumps it to LA for the dunk!

 

If Roy can play at 80% of what was his normal game then LMA's emergence will make the game easier for him and he can be very effective

 

Aldridge has looked amazing, and if he had been doing this for longer than 1/3 of a season, like he should have been doing, he'd be an all-star.

 

better late than never and I'm very glad he's done what he's done - he's been awesome, in fact I like him playing with a bit of an attitude, I think it gives him a little fire and that is a very good thing with him

 

Couldn't agree with you more.

I am nervous what will happen to his game when Brandon .5 comes back

 

there are so many ramifications of Roy's return it will be very interesting, can't say the season's been boring that's for sure!

 

Last night when we had a lineup on the floor of Joel, Marks, Babbitt, Rudy and Mills I thought, Roy could help this second unit. Then I thought Rudy and Mills would be so much less effective with Roy .5 out there. Then I thought, who's minutes will he be taking?
