    It doesn't seem like those jumpers are working for Landry. I feel he needs to go inside more for his points.

    Man that play where he tried to get the rebound was so damn funny. All I remember is him flailing around and missing the rebound

    I never feel comfortable with Landry taking those mid-range jumpers the way I feel comfortable with Andersen and Scola taking them. I always feel like he's going to miss. Landry needs to get inside more, but with no Yao I think he may struggle more as he'll be facing 7fters often.

    nice game for DA.

    I expect him to struggle against larger players on D but I hope he continues to improve his all around game.

    His offense was a nice sight in last nights game.

    I think he may play better against the larger, slow centers. He seemed okay against Biedriens. Andersen looks much better on D than many expected, including me.

    Those jumpers from Andersen, close in, were a thing of beauty. Effortless. Automatic. If he can just become adequate at team defense, we have another home run by Morey, especially if you consider his contract. Adelman must be salivating over how he's going to work this guy into his offense. And he's a big target. When the other guys on the floor start to connect with Andersen where he likes to get the ball or, better put, where Adelman wants Andersen to get the ball, we've going to have an excellent weapon in our arsenal, folks.

    I like what he brings, good outside touch..they should coach him on rebounding and he will be a solid player, his D like alot of ppl have said isn't quite as bad as it was made out to be. Once he gets really comfortable, he will be deadly force in the perimeter when going up against slower big guys.

    I think this is supposed to be Yao's official FB page. Possibly legit, all the players from his agency (BDA Sports) are listed in his "Favorite Pages".

    The only thing that is preventing him to get more minutes. He is not boxing out his man. He needs to talk to Scola on a few tips on how to get rebounds without being athletic.

    Haha,

    Yeah he had a good game, it happens, I certainly got that wrong.

    He can shoot, never said he couldn't. Just didnt think he was capable of it on a regular basis at this level.

    Well done DA.

    DA > AR.

    Werd.
