QUICK NOTES FORM THE FIRST HAVE OF THE SUMMER GAME
http://www.nba.com/magic/2009_Orlando_Pro_Summer_League.html
by the way hibbert is starting to step up..speights is still killing
jru just doesnt look like a point guard so far
hansboro is looking good still jru is looking better as a kinda scorer still not looking like a pg decisions as far as passing is lacking..defense looks pretty good though
overtime....tyler looks nice..17pts not sure how many reb..but once again hes out working players and playing very good defense..donte christmas was trying to check and score on him but tyler wasnt having it...jrus looking better as a scorer...only summer leauge but so far looking like a combo ala delonte west...definatly not looking like a pg by any stretch of the imagination
i dodnt think he looked bad..15pts for a shooting guard..thats bad to you?...shooting percentage was about 45-48...they guys talking are pretty funny...someone wrote the slogan for the nba summer games.....THE NBA WWHERE "BLANK" HAPPENS....LOL
Lol yea these dudes are pretty funny. Someone sent an e-mail asking, "Can they cut Will Blaylock now?" LOL. I thought Rush looked good from what I saw. Hanbrough looked pretty good too. Speights looked like he's ready to play big minutes this season.
why would they get fired..they were told to basically say what they want but dont curse basically...thats basically how the announcing world is going these days because of the success of barkley..people dont wanna hear......"so and so dribbles up court..passes....misss...now hes playing defense"..the whole game..i know i dont wanna hear that..thats what makes the rucker games more excitings, other then the players,
ok....tyler hansboro looked very very good as well as speightts..he dominated..
rush did pretty well
dougless roberst stepped it up in the second half..
jru looked like a combo guard..scvored pretty well .defended pretty well but didnt really show good pg skills
terrence williams played hard but didnt do whole lot.so he didnt hurt is self and helped his self just a tad bit
aj price was decent at best
hibbert looked better in the second half but has a ways to go but thats no suprise
unless im forgetting someone ever one else just played most looked lost..no one else really worth mentioning
lets also remeber that this is the summer games..we both know most of these guys wont start that are playng well but it is a good sign..id say they could produce a lil more of half the points they produce here
SERGE LOOKING GOOD..NICE RAW POTENIAL..THE ANNOUNCER HIT it on the head when they said he looks good when he just has to catch a shot or set up for layups
i completely forgot about dj white..i liked him when he was drafted last year but he got hurt before getting to really play...he shoul dbe a pretty good pro in the future..should contribute this year
Oklahoma is on fire, I like Harden and Ibaka, they should let BJ play more, he was fine, 1-1 from field
Jrue Holiday
3/11 FGs, 0/2 3-PTs, 3/4 FTs, 4 REBs, 2 ASTs, 4 STLs, 5 TOs & 2 BLKs
Terrence Williams
1/8 FGs, 0/1 3-PTs, 0/0 FTs, 9 REBs, 2 ASTs, 2 STLs, 2 TOs & 2 BLKs
Brandon Rush
4/18 FGs, 1/6 3-PTs, 6/8 FTs, 7 REBs, 2 ASTs, 3 TOs & 1 BLK
Tyler Hansbrough
6/13 FGs, 5/8 FTs, 7 REBs, 1 ASTs, 5 FOULS, 3 STLs, 2 TOs & 1 BLK
sebaka playing well..west brook doesnt look up..lol..harden looks pretty good as well as dj white...shaun livingston caught a dunk down the lane...safe to say his knee is ready
I wouldn't say it's "safe to say his knee is ready" just yet... If it was, he wouldn't be wearing a knee brace the size of a suitcase.
I'm still not convinced Westbrook is a pg.










Jru holiday-looks kinda lost out there ..not standing out at all
terrence williams..playing wit energy not awhole lot of production
tyler hansboro playing pretty good defense 2 steals and 4 or 6 points right now
chris douglas roberts- looks bad for a second year player..missing shots and is just out there
roy hibbert- simple put hes looks bad...defense looks bad and getting his shots blocked..4 by my count
maruice speights- dominating which doesnt suprise me..was real good last summer..i think he has 20-22pts and a couple boards
aj price looks ok..not to good not too bad
some kid from liberty had nice 30sec burst of production..cant remeber his name right now
thats just a few notes from the first half....anyone else watching that can add something?
