Little is getting way more minutes than we thought he would before the start of the season. The coaches seem to be doing a pretty good job at bringing him along. Sometimes when they play too early and struggle, they lose confidence. Plus they end up hitting that rookie wall. Lot of games left still but you have to be happy with the way he is progressing. That draft pick is looking good right now.
Little reminds me a bit of Mo Harkless but more consistently energized and aggressive. Always liked Mo but he was lost as the 4/5 option and seemed to disappear. Lilttle has that Cedric Ceballos motor for being active and around the rim, a Junk Yard Dog type player. Thats what Mo wasnt.
I like the Ceballos comp. In today's perimeter-oriented game, that would be a great player for Little to pattern himself after. There's feastin' to be done inside!
I agree the coaches must be doing some work. Improvement in him and Trent. Hoping Anf can just relax offensively and start doing better also.
Last 15 games Little is shooting 52% from the field, and 39% from outside. A lot of those attempts from outside are wide open, but it’s progress.
I like the lineup in that last clip. Little, Whiteside, Trent, Ariza and Lillard. Lillard really shows his passing skills when he's with that group.
18 minutes last night is a crime, look at the improvement. Dude should be getting 20+ minutes every night. Melo should never play more than 25 unless he’s just on fire offensively.
