Why didn't we use a second rounder on Isaiah Thomas? Was that the year that we took that white kid from Ohio State?
Dame was a lil trigger happy there. 19 shots is too many on a night when his teammates have it going.
So McLemore.........He would have been my choice as the #1 pick. Some said he was lazy. I say he was young. The guy has unreal potential.
If Dame is anywhere close to shooting 45% then he not taking too many shots. He is no MJ, but for us....he might as well be.
Have not heard about his inner circle before. But most freshman are immature. In the last draft he was worth the risk.
I haven't watched a preseason online stream before (that worked). Thanks for the links! But were we basically watching a feed from the Jumbotron? A lot of untimely replays and animations asking us to make noise from home. Between this game and the Clipper game, Lopez is making a huge difference. Can't wait to see how he and Aldridge play together. He seems to be EXACTLY what Aldridge was asking for. T-Rob, again, looked under control and focused on just boarding and exerting energy. Wright and Williams were okay, but I'd like to think they're just stop gaps until younger, better versions of them in CJ and Claver eventually take over. Ben McLemore looks legit. Good shooter who got his shot off in a variety of ways.
Dame needs to work on fighting through picks. He got picked off way too many times. Meyers should only be on the floor if we're in need of a basket or we need to send a message via hard fouls. That outside touch is nice. That defense.....well, there isn't much, really. Loving Freeland's improvement so far this preseason! Gonna be tough for Stotts to split time between him and T-Rob.
Damian needs to realize that he is not the best shooter on his team, and an assist is worth more than another missed shot by him.
How did Robinson look to those of you who watched the game? His stats were certainly better, but did he look good, too? Did he make any jump shots, or were all his points on dunks or layups?
I was reading the play by play, and it looked like 2 of his first 3 were jumpers. One I believe was around 15'
He had left handed dunked off a carom that was Sports Center worthy. The less he shoots outside and more he plays like Faried the better imo.
TRob looked good. Dame was unconscious in the second half. McLemore is legit. Patrick Patterson is a beast.
I took the wife and kids to the game tonight. My 1 chance of the year to sit down and enjoy a game. Robinson impressed me as did Lopez. If they stick to what they are good at, we'll be good to go down low. Oh ya, Dame is still unstoppable.
