I wasn't implying that would stop lamb from being any good, I was just shaking my head at the amount of reps that were completed. Just my harmless opinion

This is true, but I find it difficult to compare a 6'11" SF to a 6'5" SG.

Nothing difficult about it. You are either a prime time NBA all-star type player or not.

what else are we going to talk about then? certainly not his performance in clutch time in the playoffs because we haven't seen him there yet.

they both have to bench 185 pounds

My only complaints for now are, Dion doesn't show any interest in playing defense and transition. He is capable of being the best guy on the court, but yet he is passive. It's so frustrating to see

100 percent agree he doesn't even try

Hopefully he's not trying just cause he thinks he's too cool for summer league or something. Kyrie will set him straight

Probably so...but if that is the reason than cavs fans should be worried to be honest. but on the bright note just because someone looks or play like a star in the SL doesn't mean they will be a star in the actual nba

If you need someone to compare him too you can think of Mitch Richmond, same body type and build, great jump shooter and ballhandler, can also score around the basket. He is not explosive in the Westbrook mode but can create his own shot at will, the best jump shooter in the draft in my opinion. He is much more efficient than Beal. An Irving/Waiters backcourt will be the second coming of Run DMC, a la, Tim Hardaway and Mitch Richmond.

Dion, Is that you?

What's up fellas, I was curious to know what you guys thought of Waiters. I wasn't very high on the pick at #4 so I wanted to watch some of his summer league games to see how he plays. I've noticed some good things and some not so good things.

Pro's- He seems to be a smart player
fundamentally sound and doesn't force the issue
seems to have the ability to get into the paint when he chooses
seems very confident and tough minded

negatives- doesn't seem to be a tenacious/energetic player
doesn't seem to be very explosive or quick
seems slightly undersized for the SG position
doesn't seem to have the best defense

With that being said, he is a Philly guy and he has the same demeanor and somewhat lethargic style of play as other guys from Philly like Tyreke Evans, John Salmons and Wayne Ellington. I think the jury is still out on Waiters, but what are some of your thoughts on him?

Lamb is better than Waiters by a huge margin, he's better than Waiters, Ross and Rivers and he fall to 13, it's amazing

May i ask how did you get to that assumption?
Could it be there awesome dominating performance's within the Summer League? :lol:

I been on this site for a few weeks or so, and all i have read from this site is a bunch of people, either complaining, making outrageous assumptions without any type of insight, or just plain trolling...
Here is a good idea sir, can you at least wait till the NBA season before judging the guy lol ? :wink:

Dion played 28:10 minutes, only second in minutes to Sloan today.
He played good today, i was really impressed with his driving ability, and court vision

I couldn't watch much of the action. How did Dion look?

jjtreyball · Post #180 » by **jjtreyball** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 3:17 am

Dion missed a couple givemes which in time will fall but he showed great court vision and split a ton of double teams. He also had some bad turnovers on the fast break but they are very fixable. He also had some really nice drives and I believe he didn't hit a jumpshot the whole night. His defense was a little better but not much
