Hill looked good, he had a good line 9 pts 5 reb 4 stls 3 blks, but 4 TOs and 4 fouls. Patterson looked good but still had rookie moments, JT had good midrange jumpers but defense was sometimes spotty. Does Ish have a jumper? I'm guessing not a consistent one, because I haven't seen one yet. Martin might have a shot at 22-24 pts a game.
Hill was good at the 1st half, very soft at the second, gets scared when things get hard. It's Ok, but as Adelman says, you have to see a progress. That's why he's out of rotation right now. And he's a PF. I like Pat.
I believe you had stated something about Lowry being too heavy this preseason, well his weight may have something to do with his back spasms. Lowry does need to get is weight back down being too heavy is not good on the knees or back. Get well Lowry.
What do you expect him to do? In his very limited playing time in garbage time, one like JT would want to have every little opportunity possible to show that he can make an impact. He made back to back jumpers wide open, do you really expect him to pass in that sort of circumstances?
Lee and Paterson looked great Hill had a great start to the game Ish.. eh but if lowry can't go its going to mean increased minutes for AB to start the season Martin's shot is looking niceeeeeeeeeee hope he keeps it up
Not even close. I'm looking forward to having Brad Miller on this team. I imagine him being a co-captain soon. He's a great addition for the young guys, the new guys and the everyone else that's trying to fit into RA's offensive scheme.
Lots of positives, but I was especially impressed with Jordan Hill's defense. If he could maintain this, I wouldn't mind seeing him start in place of Yao when Yao misses those back-to-backs. To be fair, Taylor was out there with mostly rookies and second years in lineups you'd probably only see in blowouts. The lack of chemistry and offensive rhythm's got to be expected.
He did a nice job protecting the rim, altered or tipped out quite a few shots/rebounds, and played pretty good help D. The most consistent I've seen him on the defensive end. Very promising.
Patman shows up again! He's had a pretty decent pre-season. I'd would even go as far as to say that he is neck and neck with Jordan Hill as far as readiness. Needs to attack the basket a little more, but that comes with confidence. Get well soon Kyle! Again.
He's a second year player playing behind Yao and Miller, he's not a starter. But yeah I agree, he needs to get more boards to earn a chance to start. Keep in mind though, this is the same team that started a 6'6 center last year who averaged about 5 -6 rebs last year, so I actually like that line and I'm glad he's improving.
