Geez Lance impressive again (a few more assists would be nice and less TOs)

How about no threes per game. He was terrible!!!

Lance again played amazin. He was runnin into double teams still found the open man everytime. He could average 10 assists if his team could hit an open jumper. He shot 7/10 and wasn't lookin to score. More than likely the coachin staff told him to look to pass first and that is exactly what he did.

Paul played a lot better than last game. He was always doin somethin, unlike yesterday where he wasn't really into the game. Defensively he was active and bein the great open court player that he is, it only makes him better.

Magnum Rolle ran the court good. He should make the team and comin off the bench with Hansbrough would help him and it would bring strength and toughness(Hansbrough) to our frontcourt while bein able to play an offensively skilled bigman(Rolle).

McRoberts? Got nuthin to say.

It's actually just the opposite. O'Brien has mentioned that he wants him to develop a three-point shot, Josh is merely doing what O'Brien wants.

I somewhat agree with O'Brien. If Josh doesn't have a three-point shot, the defense can sag off and block the passing and driving lanes. Josh has exceptional passing ability for a player his size, forcing the defense to respect him from outside will help open up the possibilities for him.

I'm just not a fan of continually forcing the issue from three, especially when it's obviously not happening. He had numerous opportunities to drive past defenders who weren't quick enough to stay in front of him, yet he still settled for three.

I sincerely hope O'Brien isn't ruining Josh's game by determining playing time on his ability to shoot the three. Sure, it would be nice if he added that to his game, but there's a limit.

Amen to that. I hope he makes the team. He looks solid.
Lance - no need to expand on your analysis. He did look good.

McBob - I'm sure the coaching staff told him to jack up 3's but don't understand why they didn't stop him when he clearly was out of his depth. Realise he has been working on his shooting in the offseason (not that it shows) but that is not his game. He is an energy guy, a hustler, rebounder, dunker. Why try and fit a square peg in a round whole?

I've been a big fan of Lance since his high school days and I always knew he was a capable scorer and play-maker, but this summer league has really opened my eyes to his remarkable vision. He does a great job of always keeping his head up, finding teammates, and making the right pass. He might just work at point. He easily could've had a double-double again if McRoberts didn't have a chuckfest.

Teams don't win championships when their startin frontcourt shoot 3s. I hope McRoberts never starts cuz it looks like O'brien is tryna turn him into Josh McMurphy. We don't need that. Develop his mid range, not his 3. I'd rather have a player replicated from KG or Gasol than Murph. I ain't sayin McRoberts is as gooda them but why tur him into a scalabrine type player when he could become a Chris Anderson with passin skills and a jumper.

What really impressed me about Lance was his ability to get up the court in a hurry yet remain in control of the ball.

George's activity on defense was also good, but I feel like overall he had a pretty poor game. Terrence Williams was practically handing the ball over to the Pacers so the steals numbers kind of overstate the impact George was having on the game...

So far it seems like it was a solid draft for you guys though.

Our whole team shot pretty terribly from 3.
Didn't expect McRoberts to jack up that many 3's.
George and Stephenson were good.

That play where George stole the ball of T-Will and dished it to Magnum for the monster dunk was awesome. Anybody see that?
