    Rashmon, if I had one regret about this thread, then you nailed it.

    I donated about 4-6 months ago and still haven't gotten editing privileges. I'm not sure what the deal is. Maybe my donation was too small for the crew to care.

    He played 4 minutes and 49 seconds in the first half. 1/1 hit 1/2 FT, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks for 3 points. Not bad per minute production. I'm guessing his presence will be noticed this year. He just needs to buy into the DL system and play hard, learn and move up.

    I remember when Goudelock was starting for the Lakers for a short period of time and playing relatively decently.

    He can shoot. He is a bit of a tweener, as the OP mentioned, but he definitely can hit the 3 pointer.

    Goudelock is a 3 pt specialist! Oh, and he's got a consistent floater. It was his thing when he played with the Lakers.

    Andrew Goudelock has never started a NBA game and has scored in double figures 6 times out of 40 games in his young career, shooting 39 percent (68 out of 174) and 37 percent from 3 point range (28 out of 75)

    To tell you the truth, he didn't play like a 3pt specialist. He got to the basket a lot and was drawing fouls left and right. I noticed his sweet stroke on his two point jumper he got from about 15 feet. That's not an easy shot to master.

    My girlfriend just said that NBA TV is playing DL games this week if anyone wants to check it out. The Vipers play twice, Monday and Wednesday at noon.

    We should waive Aldrich and recruit Whiteside. At least the dude is good for a couple of blocks every game.

    Whiteside has very limited NBA potential. He could not guard anyone last time I saw him....which is a large problem for a defensive specialist. Yes, he does nice helping other players getting weakside shot blocks. The Rockets would attack Whiteside with Asik if Whiteside was on the opposing team.

    I apologize if he has learned how to hold his ground in the post.

    I only saw him play for 5 minutes, but I was impressed with his instincts when he was close to the basket. He worked well with Vernon Macklin. I'm sure the Rockets traded for him to get a closer look to see if he may fit in a Rockets style offense.

    He ran hard and had his hands all over the place on defense. He fits, just not sure if he's talented enough to make it at the next level. He'll certainly need to work hard if he's going to make it to the next level.
