Media Day/Training Camp Thread

Who is #6? Pretty sure it's Afflalo. Nice of nuggets.com to update the official numbers for everybody.

Assuming that is Afflalo, I thought he played pretty damn well today. Shot the ball well, and he attacked the basket better than I anticipated (granted one of those was against AC).

[J Smitty]

Yeah that's Afflalo. They updated the numbers on the camp coverage link, found here. Of course they have both Billups and Smith wearing #1, so who knows how accurate even that is.

Lawson has to earn the minutes as a rookie & he will for sure then Karl can use AC as an insurance for lets hope not if one of them PG get injured. As a head coach Karl should give them both fair chance to earn the majority of backup PG mins on the floor.

what the heck that Grizzlies are going to do with overcrowded frontline. Anyone care for Marc Gasol? Man that would be blast!

[KAVK]

Hope Karl will bless playing time to whoever plays better on PG spot for backups. Any idiot can see Ty Lawson got better game than AC no kidding! Only reason Karl sticking with AC is to have insurance if any of our guards get injured. AC is not really that bad as most of the people believe. He can be 3 rd guy at the end of the bench for PG spot.

It's been well documented that Karl hates rookies, but we may be lucky this time since Ty is a UNC alum. That being said Karl grilled Ty a few times during the short train camp session that we got to see on TV.

[KAVK]

DenverPost article basically states that Ty Lawson will only play in garbage minutes this year.

Let's hope for an AC injury.

Ty Lawson is lot better version of AC with room to even surpass further. Injury or not AC won't stand a chance to be primary backup for Billups. AC more likely to be that 3rd PG for in case ..... happens!

nene looks pretty darn fit to start this season. nice to see he didn't gain 45lbs because of a broken arm.

hess is having guys rock climb? wtf cross training?

Kinda off-topic but there's no need to make a thread for my simple Q so I'll put it in here.

Is this the real Chauncey? The account isn't verified but there are tons of celebs who are known to be them in twitter without that verified badge.

Thanks in advance.

Karl doin his thing on training camp session as well as on preseason opener. I think Ty will be given half the minuts that AC gets. Karl better rethink his strategy if he intends to carry us home.

I know I win the season prediction contest every year, but don't let that stop you guys from trying again this year Are we even going to have one this year?

AC playing doesn't bother me nearly as much as it does most of you guys, but I don't like the idea of him slowing down the learning process of the rookie. The Nuggets upgraded their bench through the draft at the pg spot, but if the newly acquired draftee doesn't see the floor, did the Nuggets bench improve? I question it a bit at the moment. I guess a move or two could still be made.

Did the camp invites even see the floor last night other than joey graham?


Petro and Allen outplayed Nene and the Birdman last night

Yes sir. We're in the process of narrowing down questions. I proposed a series of predictions on the state of the American markets over the next several months. Not sure on whether they'll make the final cut.
