Adrien looks like the typical american PF of the medium team of the Spanish/Italian league who arrives to be the reference, stays 2 years on that team to switch to another team and do exactly the same. Functional, solid, pro. Jordan Hill looks like the typical player who would be cutted in less than 2 months.
Jhill is too inconsistant, lets give adrien his minutes for the time being and see if he can give us a spark.
What? This is the 15th man, a guy we could pick up off the streets! I mean, this is the guy taking Greg Smith's and/or Jeremy Lin's roster spot!
Got to shout out to Bima who called it before the season. This guy can play and is the perfect teamate to have as the 15th man on the end of your bench. Isn't going to go all TWill and cry about lack of PT, but will step up big when needed. -I think McHale saw the smallball lineup tonight that the Nuggets were playing as an excuse to throw out his secret weapon Adrien. Adrien playing with Scola/Patterson wont always work, but its nice to know he's there when he's needed. True 15th man pro.
Fair job against Faired. Don't expect this every night out though. The Nuggets were w/o two of their man bigs. But he was a monster out there nonetheless. A more athletic chuck in the making maybe?
Yep. True All-star players bring a level of consistency night in night out and when they do have a bad game they rarely follow it up with 2 bad games...if ever 3 bad games... Our guys go through hot and cold streaks constantly. Even Lowry, Scola, and Martin.
Maybe, maybe not. Hill has had game as good as this one for Adrien. Adrien has also had games as bad as Hill's worst. If only the Rockets players can just sort out who is good and who sucks and just stick to the pattern, life would be a lot easier.
While at the Wizards/Rockets game I was amazed by how big he was when he saw the court at the end. He is someone you would not want a bar fight with, that dude is big.
