V-Span takes it to the hole and finishes

nice catch.

 

gd find

 

Based on the few videos i have seen of him i would have to say that he is a bit fearless and doesn't care about getting in the middle of the trees and finishing. Certainly something we have been lacking since Sura went down.

awdsadas no more clips?

 

wow that clip really doesn't enourage me about him. he certainly didn't look fast and they were destroying croatia, so it's not like he was playing against first teamers. nice acrobatic shot, but he won't get that off in the NBA with regularity. not trying to be a hater but...meh.

 

That announcer is speaking some made-up language. What is that, Elvish?

 

It's Greek, but the guy is really hard to hear. At the end I think he refers to the shot in terms of it being "crazy", or "that drives them crazy".

 

I speak fluent Elvish and Klingon; it is neither.

I'm kidding of course. It actually is Klingon.

 

I hope you guys don't have high expectations of this dude. Because of the lack of big movements in for the Rockets some people on this forum are/have been sounding like Vspan is the 2nd coming of Pistol Pete.

 

I like that V-Span didn't need much seperation to get his shot off. The only advantage he used was when the defense was off balance. That is what the NBA is about. Defenses will rarely leave you wide open, but if you know how to use off-balance or small seperations to your advantage, you'll contribute in the NBA. I also like to see that he was taking what the defense gave him. Playing under control is a big thing on the JVG Rockets.

Nice piece of stock footage.

 

i love v-span...but i was shocked how many times he traveled in that clip. i know, i know...they don't call that in the nba. but i think they will actually call that against a rookie foreigner - the refs usually let the stars get away w/ stuff like that, but newbies don't get a free pass on something that blatant.

even though it's not an incredible play, clips like these are still better than nothing. thanks.

 

that move didn't make me feel better about him. but it didn't make me feel worse. it just seemed like a circus shot ala Nash.

 

What Phil said. He traveled, waltzed, and then 2-stepped at the 3pt line.

 

VSpan is going to kill you guys for these remarks

Silly Killy BilliVanilly!

yea

 

actually, in europe, you can make 4-5 steps before you drop the ball to the floor, it really all depends at the pace of the game

 

It wasnt THAT bad a traveling violation, maybe one extra step.... I'm not oooing and aawing about V-Span either, wasnt too impressed with anything in the clip. Why hype him up with the All-Stars like Ginobili? He's what he is - a guard that outplayed initial expectation and can be serviceable rotation player. That should be alright enough, and he could still be fun to watch. At least a 2nd rounder sent to europe has actually come back to the team for once.
