He tore it up in the preseason last year so its hard to determine how much of an impact he'll have in the regular season. I'll just remain optimistic if he can contribute to the team consistently. If he becomes a perennial all-star and helps solidify the PG position then of course I hope for that. That would be a stretch but if its possible for everyone our roster to get to that point, may as well aim high.
Yeah yeah yeah... What can I say? I could make a darn good argument about the history of the Iberian peninsula, but I think I'll just say that was dumb and move on.
He can be a career 12-4-5 Point Guard. He can create his own shot, he's got the ups and the timing down to collect boards, and he can easily drop at least 5 dimes on a nightly basis.
He will be better than just a decent PG if he learns the beauty of the mid-range jumpshot. His speed can pretty much get him by anyone, but he must learn how to use his speed in bursts and maintain control. As he does this, he will see so may opportunities...scoring and passing. When he starts hitting that mid-range, that'll loosen up the middle for a possible pass inside. He is on the right track though.
boy was I wrong about Aaron Brooks. I didn't think he'd be ready, but then again I didn't get to see the game against the Grizzlies. was he suited up? either way, I was way off... he looked nice last night. there was a slow motion replay when he took it to the glass with some English, it was practically a blur!
So is he a max, near max, 10 mil, or 8 mil on the market come re-up? I say 9 to 13 mil for 5 years, 60 mil total. If that's the price, I do it in a heart beat. Higher will me a pause.
its pretty obvious the person who made this thread had NO IDEA what he is talking about... out of the league in 3 years?? im thinking in 3 years AB will be playing in his 3rd all star game...
Don't even talk like that. He's very good at one thing and OK doing some other things. That is not my definition of a ten million a year player. He has to develop other areas of his game, before he's worth that kind of cash.
You don't think clippers or even the Lakers won't pay him that kind of money? he is 20/5 in 35 mpg. What's the going rate for that on the market in your opinion?
I died laughing after reading this. "although they say he can shoot from distance, his actual in game shooting does not reflect the skill"
