I'm ok with that. His shot attempts probably line up with this too. He isn't asked to score right now and contributes on the Def. end. I think people like Klay Thompson, Eric Gordon & Jodie Meeks on this list, players that are known as scorers is more bizarre.

yeah I dont think thats strange at all for a guy who isnt really a scorer.

You still didn't tell us if Martins said,"BBD Gonna Prove Ya'll Wrong!!!!"

Oh yeah. No, there were no questions, wasnt even supposed to be taking pictures so I had to sneak one of Martins just because I knew I needed one. The whole thing was BS but I had to be there.

Has anyone heard an update on Lamb??
I haven't seen one in a week or so.

He is healthy and on the active roster. He just isn't going to be getting into the rotation. Vaughn loves 3'Twaun.

[SOUL]

Harris (ankle) isn't wearing a walking boot on his left foot any longer, but there is no timetable for his return to the court, the Orlando Sentinel reports. In reference to practice, he said, "I'm just trying to get healthy and doing all I can for that." (about 1 day ago)

aka sit to help others get more touches so we can shop them around at higher value!

On another note....I know Moe isn't being called on to score but I am all for seeing some plays ran for him where he's cutting on has mini iso. He can pretty much get around and above anyone I've seen guard him so far this year.


Anyone see that hard take he made against blake last night? I thought it was a and 1 but I guess not lol.

Moe made a great play last night I never seen him make. He drove, spun against the defender, and pulled up for the 18ft jumper and made it. There is no way he would have made that play last year.

[Viper1500]

^Absolutely loved that shot! Surprised it's not being talked about more.

I remember that play. He tried it a few times last year but was off by a few inches each time, lol.

and he split the D to get to that point.. Off the DRIBBLE...

[NickAnderson]

A. People need to remember Moe is only twenty.

B. He is probably never going to be an all star, well maybe once.

He's got a lot of work to do but If stays in the gym and works hard I think he can become a more athletic Seflosha or an Ariza lite, which every contender needs. He gets some undeserved hate around here just like most of our that don't put up big numbers.

[KillMonger]

How good could moe be? I think he'll probably be one of those fringe guys. Very good player but not great, in the conversation when all-star comes around but doesn't get voted in by fans or coaches. I hope I'm wrong, but if I'm not that's still a solid piece on a good team. That being said wasn't Shane battier an all-star at one point?

The Ariza comparisons before he was even drafted seem spot on.

Trust me...NOBODY....NOBODY forgets he is 20. It's only brought up a trillion times during any conversation about anything. And remember Tobias is only barely 21, Remember Oladipo is only 21,Remember Kyrie Irving is only 21.

Lots and lots of players have played NBA basketball at 19 and 20. It's 20....not 17 fresh out of high school. Moe has played a lot of basketball if he doesn't shoot well, or dribble well, pass well or whatever, it's not BECAUSE he was 19 and now 20.

Yeah but those guys are obviously wayy more talented then Moe. So whats your point? What I am saying is he has room to improve.

[Orlwillbeback]

That was a nice play by Moe last night. I can honestly say I was a bit surprised, since he made the guy fall and all.

[Neon1]

My point is, The reason he is not as talented, is simply because he is just not as talented....Not because he is only 20.

[NickAnderson]

You make no sense. Nobody said he was as talented has those players.
