Coming into a situation where you play for a well run and disciplined franchise is a good thing. Getting to practice everyday with a good system and professionals with great training habits is a very good thing.
Even though Philly was able to knock off Boston I look forward to Grimes getting out of there playing with three black holes on offense.
I have. John Stockton dribbles down, finds a way to pass to Karl Malone in the post. Malone then bullies his man into the paint for a short bucket or a soft mid range jumper
If someone would have told me Houston would have 2 Top 12 draft picks to pair with Sharp, Uzan and Tugler then I would have said we were going to win it all. I wish Uzan would have had a better Senior year. And I guess it goes to show that having seniors like Roberts and Cryer can outweigh bringing in even some of the most elite Freshman talent
In fairness to Uzan his role changed entirely when our freshman point guard came and immediately took chargeā¦I was more disappointed in Cenac. Although he led the team in rebounding his offense was basically sitting outside and chunking up jumpers.
Not bad mouthing Cenac because he can eventually be a great player, but frankly I would have rather had a seasoned player who was more well rounded.
I do think Cenac has much more upside than Jarace Walker did, but he still has a ways to go to be an NBA player. Nevertheless, canāt blame him for taking the moneyā¦
I thought Sharp had a down year because I think opposing teams put pressure on him and refused to let him beat them. However Sharp showed great leadership and hustled his rear off for coach and team. He was much better when he teammed with LJ Cryer who also was a great shooter.
Talk all over twitter is how Kingston wingspan is abnormally small he has the shortest wingspan in the combineā¦
There are multiple sub 6ft guards at the combine
There are talks this might hurt his stock (before anyone reads into this, he aināt coming back ⦠falling a few spots when you are lottery is not a reason to come back)
But it does make you question some things ⦠I would have guessed him to have a longer wingspan⦠and this might add hindsight context as to why he wasnāt a better. Defender/rebounder despite being a super athlete
He averaged 4+ rebounds a game as a Point Guard.which is better than what our other starting guards Eman and Milos were doing so What are you even talking about
4 rebound per at 6ā4 is below what weāve done here⦠od recommend looking at Dejonās rebounding numbers at āPGā
Also who ever said Sharp or Milos were good either ⦠when I note someone isnāt the best rebounder ⦠stating he is Better than the other bad rebounders doesnāt negate the point
And Sampson himself said our starting guard were not good rebounders and that would be chance next year ⦠plead me ask Sampson āwhat he is talking aboutā
Itās his actual body that isnāt wide, not necessarily his arms. He doesnāt have long arms but they also arenāt wildly short. Heās just not broad at all, thus he has a shorter wingspan than youād think by seeing him play. Thatās why his standing reach is just as high as other guards his size. If anyone has watched him all season and decides not to draft him because his wingspan is 3 inches too short, thatās on them
