Llull in the Gold Medal Game

Liking what I'm seeing from Sergio Llull in the Gold Medal game. Good court awareness and one hell of a good defender. They have him guarding the red-hot Durant.

Two years from now a backcourt rotation of Lin, Lamb & Llull could be fun to watch.

I didn't even notice that was Llull at first. All I noticed was a pretty good Spain guard, until they praised Llull for his defense.

He was definitely impressive in my eyes, as that was my first real look at him. I agree with you, he is one hell of a defender and that is something that is going to be appreciated in Houston. And he also has pretty good court awareness. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing him in a Rockets jersey.

I heard some Spanish coaches and stuff grumbling about how they finally decided that he isn't really a point guard and they're going to play him at the 2 from now on. Is that true? Maybe he could be one of those Jason Terry, Eddie House, Bobby Jackson type guys that can be backup 1/2 off the bench? Either way I hope he's in a Rockets uniform next season, we could definitely use some depth in our backcourt.

Spain won the game against France thanks to Lull's defense on Tony Parker in the 4th quarter.

Pretty sure he signed a 6-yr extension with his Spanish club.
