Summer League: NYK vs LAL (Mon 4PM EST, NBATV & ESPN3.com)

[miggs]

As for Gerald Green. When I saw he was on the roster I was pretty pumped, but he seriously has not looked good at all. I know he's not getting a ton of minutes, but if he can't produce in limited minutes in the Summer League then he has absolutely no business making it on our roster.

Hmmm, 8/2/1 in 10 minutes is unproductive? Give Green Ebanks' minutes and I guarantee more outage on offensive. I got the chance to see him in Boston for 2 years. He's had games where he's gone back and forth offensive with Kobe, LeBron, Vince...

Dude are you Gerald Green? You keep bringin up old ****, dude's CLEARLY not for NBA. He's just fallen out of ppl's minds... clearly.

It's like Frazier learned a few SAT vocabulary words, and uses them over and over again.

" And.... a little bit of serendipity for Douglas..."
" It's been fortuitous for the Knicks..."

oh jeez... how embarrassing...

[LApwnd]

aww sucks to read bout Ebanks struggles today, didn't get to watch, hope he does better next gm

[Jay Cochran]

Green has D'Antoni written all over him. Triangle is not a stylistic fit for him.

You would be shocked at how huge Frazier's vocabulary is. Every game he busts out like 5 new words that I've never heard. Funny I was watching the game and wondering if LA was getting our cast. Our commentating was definitely more of a conversation than commentating. It's usually much better during the season.

Summer league for announcers too, I guess.

I'm watching it now... I'll let you all know what I think in an hour! (not that anyone really cares haha, i doubt it will be different than the past 2 games)

Okay so I peeked at the box score and it looks like a slow game, so I'm not going to watch it all haha, just skip around.

It seems to me that Ebanks was more aggressive getting some boards, but he got his shot blocked 5 times by the larger Knicks. That size seemed to disrupt his shooting. I poor game by him, but doesn't effect my opinion on his play. Caracter did well again against the HUGE Knicks. He still got his 10 boards and got his points. His turnovers were atrocious though. DJ Strawberry got in the offensive rhythm a bit, getting some assists and some D, definitely helped his stock this game. Jaaber is out of his chance in my opinion as are Green and Sims.


The final 3 that are fighting for roster spots: Devin Ebanks, Derrick Caracter and DJ Strawberry.

No, I'm actually a Celtics fan who had this account when I used to have the pleasure to watch Toine chuck a ridiculous amount of 3s. I wouldn't write Green off, he's got the offensive talents to stick around on an NBA team.

I painfully watched this entire game and can tell you that Ebanks played horrible on offense, forced shots and didn't show any aggressiveness going to the basket. He played 39 mins and Green had more points in his 10 minutes of playing time. Caracter was horrendous, he got rebounds alright only to get swatted again and committed numerous moving screens and loose ball fouls.

Didn't catch the game, but wasn't surprised to hear Ebanks struggled from the field. His offensive game is far from consistent. With all the comparisons to Trevor Ariza remember he would have his share of off games even during his breakout season.

Caracter with another double-double. Really starting to believe he'll make the team as well, I know it's a stretch but maybe he could be the Dejuan Blair steal of the draft.
