The FT'S are going to be fine Trust me here, the release is great i think it is the confidence. He also can hit a Jump shot ( has a few times this year) and hasa good release. Only thing with him that is of coneren to me is how durable is he? If he has a healthy summer and does small things he could be among the NBA'S Best.

This is weird, everyone else is talking up Boone and Dumpy is talking him down. I agree with Dumpy, I haven't seen anything from Boone that will tell me he is better than just an above average rebounder. He has nice defensive skills but hes not really stopping anybody in the post and his FT shooting has become a liability which probably cost him a spot on the soph team. If he can develop that hook shot I will take this back. I still believe he should have made it over Bargs though.
I think I worry the most about JB Why i dont know. But people should i be worried about JB's future? I mean I look up to the kid so much, i dont want to see him fail.

Shouldn't it be "I disagree with you disagreeing with my disagreement" Is disagree a word lol? EDIT: yes it is a word, I just don't use it much. I use "do no agree"

Before my head falls off, Jizzy why do you think Boone's interior defense is soft? While that might be a popular heuristic to use based on his traditional play, I do not feel it accurately represents his current level of play due to recent progressions.
So can we all agree please that JB will be a key part of the nets for years to come? I am sick and tired of having to worry about JB and D-League and overseas.

Boone has surprised me this season, and has out performed my expectations, but being "a key part of the Nets for years to come" is the kind of talk about a franchise big, and that is a label I cannot put on him at this time. But I'll be rooting that he does.

I am sick and tired of having to worry about JB and D-League and overseas.</div> I'm thrilled with the way he has been playing, and I think he is finding a niche with this team, but I think he has limited upside. He definitely can contribute to a winning team, but again, other than offensive rebounding he doesn't have an above-average skill. He's a smart kid, though, and a hard worker, so I'm sure that he'll continue to work on his weakneses. On defense, it seems like he defends the block well, but has trouble when he has to switch onto another man, and seems to often leave someone wide open. Say what you want about Collins: Twin was the defensive quarterback. If you watch, when he's in the game, he is constantly shouting out defensive assignments. I think that when Twin isn't in the game, the interior defenders get crossed up a lot. The Nets give up a LOT of uncontested points in the paint, and often they come from making a second or third pass, and Boone or Sean get confused as to where they should be. It's not surprising given how young and inexperienced Sean and Booooone are, but that's where they really need to improve defensively. Of course, it's possible I'm misreading it, given that I now fall asleep before the end of the first quarter (NOT kidding). I wake up when the stupid League Pass logo comes on at the end of the game. The stupid background music is too damn loud.
