From everything I've seen. This guy made a great pass early in the 1st, soft hands, hitting jumpers from 18 ft. out, and has scored 4 of our 6 points early... I'm liking everything I'm seeing. The guy looks great. I thought he was a throw-in pick, I was apparently wrong.
When i turned on the game my friend told me to watch him, and wow, hes made some very nice moves, cant wait to see what he can do in the regular season against other competition.
Yea but then again this is Summer league and they are facing players who are really nobodys...not people like Shaq or Yao...
its early and its against weaker opponents... but i agree.. kid looks special to me. at the very least i think hes a good option because he can run like hell. he plays like a skinny sean may.... good jumper from 18-20, some nice post moves except hes not hurt.
i could definetly deal with this.
Ray
Richardson
Crash
Okafor
Davidson(or PF and Oak at C)
was he projected as a PF?
but yeah, he's got some post-up moves and a nice range.
but i'm not so high on his rebounding, since he's a big, and that's what we actually have to address in our roster.
he played both PF and C in college I believe...
The kid looks good . Hes not starter material yet but he looks like hes got all the tools to be good, He looks better than Hollins all ready.
Put the kid @ PF when Okafor is in there, and C when he is not. Should be an excellent option off the bench, hopefully.
What are your guys' opinions on Hollins and how he's lookin?
Well, I haven't seen him play as a Bobcat (I've got no idea how anybody's actually even seeing these games in the first place, but that's an aside), but I was always impressed with him at Bama, when they were on ESPN and FSN. I thought he might've spent too much time outside the lane, but I remember him having a good touch and long arms so that nobody could get close to blocking his shots. Hearing he's showing good post moves is great! On draft night, I never considered JD as a "throw-in" with JRich; I thought it was a smart pick, and came close to replacing Brandan Wright. I said it that night, and I'll say it again, Dudley and Davidson were really good picks!
thats the cool thing.... we got the scorer/all star we needed to team with Crash, and we got the pick Davidson that is looking better than Wright already... looks more and more like the best trade ever.
And as far as Davidson, he had a couple moves yesterday that were outstanding. one was about the nastiest spin moves ive ever seen from a 6'10 guy ever.... it of course resulted in a help defense block by tyrus thomas, but if he had a clear route to the basket it would have ended badly for the bulls... it was nice. his jumper is as good as Sean May is, almost automatic from 18. hes gonna be of immediate help but i agree hes got some work to do before starting. For instance on one play he had room to take it to the basket, but took a weird shot instead and instead of following up the shot, he kinda stood there and when the ball came his way didnt make a huge effort to get it. little crap like that.
Hollins looks ok to me... they started the game off with a nice 1-2 with davidson to hollins ending in one of Hollin's nasty dunks. He still fouls a little too easy, and still makes the silly mistake, but i think thats just due to his goofiness a little. You can tell he worked on his back to the basket game, but i still think hes got a ways to go before he is a starter as well.
good start from both of these guys though in my opinion
