I think he meant PPat, Hayes and Carl Landry. AS far as I know, Aldrich hasn't been resigned by the Kings, so far. I wonder why not, because they seem to be thin at C. On topic, great game by Goran Dragic to secure the 5th place finish for hosts Slovenia.
On a different forum I saw someone saying Aldrich hadn't been signed anywhere because teams are waiting for his rookie contract to officially expire sometime in october, since they intend to pay him very little, it's more advantageous for the teams to deal with him as an free agent, rather than as someone who's rookie rights they hold. I don't know if that's really true. Perhaps someone with more expertise can clear that up.
You are dead on with that statement. His NBA time is so limited, against so many scrubs, with bench players along side of him that there is nothing useful that a fan can glean from last season. And really, did he show any 3 point range last season? Certainly not in the NBA.
Could be. I just know that the Kings didn't seem all that enthusiastic about resigning him, although he played some decent games for them. Last I heard, he recently worked out for the Knicks. But so did Ricky Davis...
Wrong. He always finds his men to box him out and does it pretty well. But the problem is he putting all the work in it and waiting for some of teammates to grab that free ball. Finals against France today @14:00 (Houston time). This is the game where we could see if coach trust DMo enough to put him into the game against NBA-level players.
Should be on some of ESPN channels because they have rights to broadcast Eurobasket2013. Official site says ESPN3 and NBAtv, but I'm not so sure.
http://www.eurobasket2013.org/en/ci...le2.season_2013.roundID_8722.teamID_2135.html DMO's tourney stats are quite good talking about him playing only 12 minutes. He is the key on LTU's offense when he's playing and I don't really understand people complainining. there is a good chance that after tonight you guys will have European Champion on this team and if that's not enough, I believe winning something like that increases your value in the market.
I checked and it doesn't look like ESPN is airing it at all today. You're probably going to need to login to ESPN3. -Spain Vs. Croatia going on right now
Llull has been great for Spain so far. 3 Three's and 11 points total. updates- -Llull with some great defense so far. Really doing a great job of putting ball pressure on their guards. -Llull with the buzzer beater 3 to end the first half. 14 points so far. -announcer mentioned that Llull has been bothered by a rib injury this entire tournament which has limited his play.
Jones actually had a better 3-point percentage in the D league than D-Mo. There's this belief that D-mo could become a good 3 point shooter, which I suppose is based on his shooting form and his general fluidity (by seven footer standards), but as far as I can tell there are no in-game statistics to base that hope on.

Hope so finale will be successful for DeMo but thehe is chance that in NT of Rockets someone have bigger passion for the game, first in practice, last of it. Just- unbelievable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJQK2qxrZ_Y
I think everyone here watching EuroBasket have finally realized that Llull is an undersized shooting guard and a rotational player (OHMSS was actually right, guys). An alleged injury can't be used as an excuse for his average play because most of the teams at this stage of the competition have issues with small, nagging injuries. Croatia is certainly one of those because they play with a 9-man rotation and they looked really slow and gassed today (our coach admitted that was the case after the game). Role players like Llull can thrive in those situations - he was 4/9 on wide open three pointers after Croatia's slow defensive rotations and good ball movement by Spain, 1/1 on prayers (buzzer-beater to end the half), 2/4 on fastbreak layups (got blocked once from behind on an easy layup because he didn't have a clue whatsoever where the defender was), 1/1 on fastbreak dunks. He can run the fastbreak and shoot open three pointers, so that's a good thing. Llull is a good defender, but only against point guards, he's a liability against bigger and stronger guards. He also doesn't have the quality to be a primary playmaker so he almost has to play as a SG. I don't think he can be a starter in the NBA, although his great energy and hustle can make up for some of his cons. The true star of the game was Bojan Bogdanović. If he ever does sign with the Nets, look out.
