First impressions of Mikki Moore?

[s1ickd]

It took PJ like a month to get used to playing basketball. After the first 2 games, people here were talkinng about how he was washed up.

When Moore learns the rotations, he'll be a good weakside shot blocker. IMO, i think thats lacking more than post defense. We need some long arms swatting at the ball to distrupt things down low.

Im not so sure if Gasol is any stronger than Moore.

Gasol weights more. Mass > Strength

When it comes to low post play anyhow.

And idk about a good weakside shot blocker. Moore never had that apart of his game really.

Apparently he's not a shot blocker, his timing/instincts must not be good.

But he really had a hand right on a bunch of 3 pointers he ran out on.

I think he could be a VERY good defender in this system with his length and athleticism, running out to the perimeter - if he is able to learn it properly. He is a vet...and used to learning new systems, as many teams as he's played for!

I think he'll be a foul machine though.

I like his speed full court. Should help our fast break if he plays some with Rondo.

He can knock down the mid range shot and play decent perimeter D, he isn't the down low defender or rebounder I hoped we could get, but he will have to make due.
