Draftees 2016 – Brown, Yabusele, Žižić, Jackson, Nader

Liked the YouTube feed better. Terrible basketball. No passing, no defense, just guys taking turns going 1 on 5. The new cba will do wonders to improve the d league but as of right now it has a looooong way to go

Watching this game. Jackson looks very athletic but I'm not sure how much of what he does at this level would translate. Lots of reckless drives and pull-up 3s. Really watching to see Nader as a defender/rebounder.

Jalen Jones is pretty decent too. He'll get scooped up by a team.
He was in the Celtics Training Camp this year.

Liked the Youtube feed Way better.
They changed it, a day before the season. Without telling anyone.

He does look like he has sound floor game for a D-leaguer. Has found some space on drives/cuts and can finish. The individual skills/athleticism don't appear to be there though.

There's no actual structured offense whatsoever and the defense or lack there of is unwatchable. I'm guessing the team they are up against isn't that good

Beginning of the Season.

What bothers me is these 40pts+ Qtrs. I gotta take this at 2/3rds Reality.
Our guys look Good though. -- Nader, really doesn't belong in the D-League.

I wonder if they will start to run more stuff once Mickey and Young are sent down in a week or so

Yeah, Youtube > Facebook. I don't know about people with facebook accounts, but for me without one, the video quality is absolutely awful. I have to identify the players by their number, because I sure as heck can't tell them apart by their fuzzy physical characteristics.

Man I hope so.

Jackson / Young / Nader / Mickey / whoever should be a lot more informative. And entertaining.

Though as a third year player, Young can decline to be sent down, can't he?

[15th overall]

Are there illegal/alternate streams of this game?

This is like a 2005 level quality stream & that doesnt seem justifiable for a league looking to legitimize themselves. More ammo for my regular criticism of Adam Silver, I guess... if we're looking for silver linings or w/e.

Demetrius Jackson is a pain in the ass to watch

It made sense to do the quantity of eyeballs on Facebook compared to YouTube but you hit the nail on the head. The stream quality is just so damn poor that it takes away from the viewing experience

No, 3rd players have to go down too. Though, if you need it by then . . .

I'm thinking, that Youtube was probably charging something.
Whereas Facebook, is all Advertising.

According to the stream, there are 204 people watching this game currently. Viewers aren't just going to turn out - they have to earn them. With better quality of play (on its way with an expanded league + 2-way contracts), and a better viewing experience.

Looks like you're right. Was changed for the '12-'13 season. Previously, third year players could decline, where now you have to be fourth year.

Watch on YouTube

This is the story about the Facebook Switch. After 2 yrs with Youtube.

[24istheLAW]

Nader with two nice blocks, the second coming while trying to stay in front of a guard. Kid looks ok.

Chris Walker being a bit player on a D league team is mildly amusing. Should have gone into Slamball instead.

[24istheLAW]

Nader was aight.

Did well staying in front of ballhandlers for a bigger wing. Looked to pass, definitely a conscientious passer. Played within himself offensively despite having the ball a lot, which speaks to his comfort at the level.

On the flip side, he was not involved on the boards. His activity level is nothing special for a role player and he left an open shooter in the corner at one point. Didn't really get to see him fight through screens, which is partly a casualty of the hero ball style of the league.
