Is he not playing? Maybe stashed away since he's a prime Kevin Love piece now

The Lakers were playing Julius Randle at center a lot and Ognjen Kuzmic can't keep up with his athleticism and handles. That's why McAdoo played more minutes, but he looked terrible!

McAdoo...too soft. I'm seeing why he wasn't drafted.

You look at him...then compare him to Randle...

Nedo still doesn't look like an NBA point guard except for his size. That pick may be a bust.

Yea McAdoo sucks big time! I can't stand watching him when he was at UNC and I can't stand watching him now and he's playing against some undrafted, D-League, a bunch of nobodies in the Summer League. He's terrible!

Nedovic sucks just as much as McAdoo. I thought he would show us something in the Summer League, but he's getting outplayed by Aaron Craft. I'm dead serious I would trade Nedovic for a chicken lunch burrito if I was Bob Myers stuck in the office all day and the intern is nowhere to be found.

At the very least that would be an interesting exchange between Myers and the Mexican food cashier.

Also this was the first game that Craft played decently. Seriously watch more games.

Watch his games at UNC. He looks timid and frightened. No wonder he's a crappy rebounder because he doesn't like to get physical and no wonder he's a turnover machine because he can't handle contact. This guy is a joke! What a waste of a summer league roster spot

You seriously need to watch more summer league if you think McAdoo is a waste of a summer league roster spot.

I watched all the games so far and McAdoo has 14 turnovers in 3 games and he's not even a PG. 14 turnovers in 3 games! He sucks!

It's not only the Summer League, but 16 games winning streak was on the line :cry:

The win streak was pointless. It's about player development. 16 win streak in the regular season would be a huge deal.

Kuzmic was getting easily our played by Randle especially when he out it on the floor. Kuz was toooooo slow. Randle is legit.

Nedo needs to stop shooting jumpers. He needs to attack the rim. The few times he did, he finished weak. He needs to get more crafty and work on his touch around the rim. I'm thinking he feels if he hits some jumpers it will open up his game. But his perimeter game is not looking so good.

Nedo has all the physical tools to be a decent NBA-level guard, but something's missing upstairs. Kuzmic is serviceable but slow. Holiday should be a training camp invite... sure, Summer League makes most guys look better than they are, but his shooting, handles and most importantly instincts all look solid.

If you watched last season you should already know Nedo and Kuzmic will never amount to anything useful. Solid Pants should get a roster spot over both of them.

Solid Pants?

:confused:

Xplatformer · Post #211 » by **Xplatformer** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 4:09 pm

Hell, I'd give Craft a spot over Nedo and make him work on his outside shot in the D-league.

Right now the only guys I'd give a roster spot to are

1) Holiday
2) Kuz
3) Craft

Craft is more of a natural floor leader than Nedo, and you can see it already. I don't know if it's the language difference or what, but Craft looked way more composed out there, even when he was been bodied up. Nedo also seems to keep getting dinged up. Eventually euro Derrick Rose is going to lose those knees too.

Nemanja Nedovic needs to stay with the Santa Cruz Warriors next season as long as possible. Keep him there and let him develop his game. Stephen Curry and Shaun Livingston can hold down the PG duties just perfectly fine without that scrub.

That will forever by my favorite RealGM thread/comment.

I was hoping for some improvements for Nedo aka Lin jump from year 1 to 2 but he looked like he has regressed. He looks slower and his jump shot is still the same as last year (pathetic). Kuzmic is a big and I give him more time even though he does look like a stiff. He appears to be too soft...

Me too. I rather have Craft than Nedovic. Craft shows a lot of spunk and tenacity out there.

I agree that he shows tenacity. But he also showed some issue dribbling the basketball under pressure and he's not confident in his shot at all.
He's someone that i'd like to have in Santa Cruz to see how he develops. Not on the NBA roster.

Fair enough. The Santa Cruz Warriors would be great for both Craft and Nedovic to develop their shooting, handling, and overall, their basketball skill. I'm just saying I rather have Craft than Nedovic, but I would rather have a proven #3 PG or a better PG than Nedovic as my #3 PG. Nedovic is under contract and is taking one of the roster spot at PG. If he's not able to contribute, just say Curry or Livingston is hurt or in foul trouble, then what? I rather have a guy that is proven or show that he can be able to play for a few minutes to give Curry or Livingston some rest depending on who sits out that particular game.
