Magic Fan Here-Ish Smith? 

Post#1 » by Noonskadoodle » Thu Feb 2, 2012 4:23 am

We just acquired Ish Smith & it seems your fan base would have the most knowledge on him. Could you guys fill me in on what to expect from this guy?

THANKS :)

speedy midget guard that can't shoot pass 15 feet. Good court vision. turnover prone however.

He was like a 5 foot 10 version of Rondo without the defense.

Fast speedy guard that understands his position.

I would love to see him play with Dwight.

Hopefully you get your chance Friday, as long as Stan Van Gundy plays hi, against the Cavs. :D

Quick, pass-first PG that's only effective when he understands his role. If you can keep a leash on him he'll do fine. The fact that he couldn't make it on the Warrior's roster should be a concern though.

jahlil okafor has some of the best post moves in the last 30 years and the dude can't even get on the floor

Thanks. We just need some kinda spark on this team as you probably have noticed through our lackluster scoring.

Pretty excited to see him get a chance. Meer & Duhon just are not cutting it right now.

Not fair.. Guards that don't score, won't make it on the Warriors.. Plus they picked up Nate Robinson, and Curry is back (i believe).

Ish can give you some quick easy baskets, but don't play for him extended minutes at a time...he can get out of control. Howard should be able to get a few more dunks per game with Ish running the pt.
