He had a few opportunities to make plays but deferred the ball back to Nash or someone else. It seemed like he was afraid to make any mistakes, and that just not translate to being a good sign considering it was a preseason game. Although, that dunk attempt at the end really shows that he will eventually get more and more confident the more he sees the floor.
Ahh, none of that matters really. I remember my first game when I was brought up from the JV team to play on the seniors (all 2-3 years older)- the game was so much faster, the players were uniformly exceptional athletes ... the whole thing seemed like it was in fast forward. Took me a while to get in the flow, then I could play my game.
The transition to NBA must be a huge, huge leap. I would bet he comes out of it well before the real season starts. By the end of the game he was looking way more comfortable. And let's face it - a GSW/Suns game is going to be pretty much played at light-speed
he showed some good stuff
*** Just to be clear - I in no way equate high school ball with the NBA, just that I think the step-up in skill level is similarly vast and will spin your head for most players.
