The "Welcome to Houson" BIG DADDY Nana Papa Yaw Dwene Mensah-Bonsu forum.

Stats are not as important to me when judging bench players who get limited minutes. I look for energy they give (they should have alot of energy if they are young), how big the mental mistakes they make (turnovers, missed D assignments, taking bad shots), and if they are getting abused by the player they are guarding. I know there are stats for some that I mentioned, but I judge it play by play. I'm not going to fault a player too much for some aggressive passes that ends up as turnovers or taking some wide open shots that misses. If the player's efforts are too much of a detriment then the coach should rightfully bench him. Such is the life of a bench player.

 

He also forgot T-mac, Brooks, Kyle Lowry, Ariza, Budinger and Jermaine Taylor. That's half the team right there.

 

Pops is training camp fodder. He might even get competition for that.

would love to see this guy play with Carl Landry

don't think he can shoot like Landry though, all his hilight vids are dunks.

 

Eh? Pops doesn't even have a guaranteed contract. They're just trying him out to see if he'll fit. Landry and Dorsey have guaranteed contracts. I seriously do not follow your logic.
