I honestly don’t remember Collins first nba games. I do know what a front line of Little, Collins, and Nurk would be tho!!!
Wow in all this doom and gloom you just gave me a little shot of hope for the future. That front line could be amazing in a couple years.
You know nothing is stopping Stotts from playing Little at SF right? It might actually help our rebounding problem too if they went bigger.
Stotts could also put Rodney Hood at shooting guard instead of CJ. But this all makes too much sense for a team that needs much better defense to be where we want them competitive wise.
We could have Nurk, Collins, Little, Hood, and Lillard starting with CJ and Simons coming off the bench. I don't know why anyone would think having a small starting backcourt is ideal, all things being equal. Especially when Hood is shooting as well as McCollum. Of course so far this season he's shot way better.
Baby steps but Nassir has made as many threes this month as the previous two combined, in 18 fewer attempts. Would be great if he actually got more minutes instead of getting dicked around in favor of players like Biggie Swanigan.
The thing that separates Little is his ability to put the ball on the floor. He's got a great handle that is rarely used because Stotts 1. barely plays him and 2. wants him to spot up for 3s. How about getting a coach who actually utilizes the talents of the players we have instead of making Evan Turner a 3 point shooter?
With his focus, hustle and athleticism, I think Little is going to be good. I love watching him on the court, rookie mistakes and all.
His game reminds me of rookie Aaron Gordon’s. Explosive, defensive versatility, crashes boards, energy/athletic points, inconsistent shot.
I like his ceiling a lot more. He's not at all a bad shooter already. Let him run havoc. He should have been in the rotation from the beginning.
Yep I got completely off the Stotts train when I saw that some players were about ready to pass out in that 3 OT game, but Layman, a key contributor all year was sitting.
It’s obvious he’s been working on his shot. Even his misses look better. I love what he does defensively. He got asked to do a lot last night and held his own. The buckets he gave up were more good plays by the rockets players than bad defense by little. I’m intrigued by a lineup that includes Little, Ariza and Trent. The perimeter defense looks much better with them.
Little looks lot better then what I seen last summer he has improved a lot since then. The thing I like about Little and Trent there active on D. There moving hands and moving there feet helping them majority of the time staying in front of there man.
I do love Little's activity and athleticism. Hope he gets more minutes to actually show what he can do. Stotts seems to have a love for players like Baze/Tolliver/Biggie that make you wonder if production really matters to him at times.
