Summer league is set up so that the PGs look good. Nobody is as fast as them, and the team defense is horrible. The rookie award was given to a 6ft PG, Aaron Brooks. The Most Outstanding Player ward given to 5'9 PG, Nate Robinson. Four of the guys on the First team are 6'1" and under: Brooks, Barea, Lowry and Williams. Six of them are 6'4" and under, when you include Foye and Crittendon. When play during the regular season, they give up 3-4 inches to other PGs and get abused during defense. Brooks is good, but he will always be the 6th man at the most.
does anyone else not like nate robinson? okay you won the outstanding player award...that would mean so much if he wasn't about to enter into his 3rd year as a professional basketball player..
And who knows, maybe we'll run a zone or two this time around! Billups can out-size an Aaron Brooks... BUT CAN HE OUT-SIZE YAO MING?!
they had durant playing at shooting guard...but still he needs to be more aggressive on the boards did anyone see his nasty three and dunk yesterday
Rockets had Brooks playing PG and he still averaged 3.2 rebounds a game... Durant should be able to pick up 3-4 rebound sleepwalking on the court no matter what position he plays.
lol i was thinking the same thing but thought i should read through the rest of the posts before posting.. he's about the same height as Chris Rock too
Interesting logic you have there to conclude Brooks is nothing more than a 6th man. I'm hoping that Brooks is more of an Allen Iverson type of PG than a benchwarmer that you believe he will be. Time will tell, but he does appear to be the real deal.
