Had a good understanding of the game......at 7 minutes a game.
You picked up all that? You must be a God.
Or you're making **** up to fit your argument.
Rookie Bynum wasn't doin jack ****. Just stop already. He had one play the entire year that was awesome. (And it was).
These guys are light years ahead of where Bynum was. But he worked his *** off to improve, so will they. (Hopefully)
I will say I live randles work ethic and how hard he plays. Any coach would love to have a player that plays with that kind of effort. Hopefully he will refine the other things.
I will say the exact opposite for Russell and his effort. I hate it. It's unreal how lazy he plays.
Russell is consistently one of the last guys at practice.. This is something we went through almost 2 months ago.
Including today when he was putting in extra work on shooting the 3, and post moves.
It might be confusing that when you try to show some aggressiveness on the court, you get called out by your coach for trying to take over the game.
You know absolutely nothing about their IQ. Nothing. As in not one single solitary thing. You have no idea what they do or don't know. You're just making **** up to sound like you have a complaint.
Hell, Byron got a high basketball IQ, he played at the top level, won titles, competed vs the best. Even coached in a Finals. Is B Scott a high IQ guy?
Exactly.
They are kids. Playin their first 50 career games in the NBA. They will improve over the next 50. And the 50 after that. Etc. It's how learning works.
You don't believe in them yet, that's fine. You have that right. But stop with your made up "he doesn't blow by his man enough" drivel.
Rajon Rondo wasn't blownin by folks as a rook much either.
Lillard was like 22-23 as a rookie, not 19.
Steve Nash wasn't doin **** for years before his game grew.
Just stop dude. Their games will grow. Stop thinking in a current bubble. Players evolve. It takes time. Every sport, every athlete.
Why bring my dude to this

Speed and quickness needed to beat a defending PG is not simply something you work on in the offseason and magically develop
You either have it or you don't, otherwise Eric Snow and Derek Fisher would have been the greatest attackers and layup finishers ever because they were so hard working

Why do I have to stop with the fact that Russell can never get by his man off the dribble. Why?
When it's the flat out truth. He can't get by his guy. He's done it a handful of times over his short NBA career.
Oh and another thing. We keep talking about what he can be in the. Future.
Could he be a great left handed guard like Manu ginobli or James harden. I sure hope so. I really do.
With hard work. Getting a trainer. Maybe In 3-4 years that will be a reality.
For the lakers I hope he does.
But I'm talking about RIGHT now.
I'm just saying young KD, Russ, harden, Klay, steph, dray, KAT, Wiggins, etc were all better than Dlo, Randle and Clarkson. Maybe that's just my opinion
My Lillard comment was to point out how difficult it is to become perennial NBA all star talent and that our young players may never get to that level, whereas with those other young teams you could see the bright future star potential early on
That's exactly my point. I don't see it at all in these kids and frankly idk how others are seeing it. just watching these kids I don't see one of them being an all star and I also don't see them being lead franchise guys. They all seem like complimentary pieces at best. One of the reasons I hate the draft. It's no guarantee these kids will pan out or be stars.
Who is mamba2481? I never seen him post til now
It's probably Bryon ScottSome dude that saw greatness out of Bynum's 7 minutes a game and knew he'd be great off of Andrew's knowledge of the game.
Are you suggesting that someone can't become quicker?
