Ridnour has no court vision

NewWolvesOrder · Post #1 » by **NewWolvesOrder** » Thu Dec 23, 2010 3:52 am

he does not, he can only complete the most simple passes in basketball, he just can't drive and dish, even if gets inside he can't hit an open shooter on the perimeter. I don't know whether he doesn't see open people or lacks confidence in his passing abilty but he holds back guys like Wes and Martell. With a capable point guard our wings would be draining open 3s all day and catching alley oops. Give me Telfair all day over Ridnour.

Knee jerk reaction?

game by game observation, dude's point guard skills are pathetic, he can't create easy shots, period.

Ridnour is good for 15-20 minutes because he can make shots and hopefully defending the back-up PG. He sure is a bad starting pg, yeesh, and has no business being in there closing out games.

I think the problem is is that we have no certain go-to scorer right now. We should just name that Beasley and just roll with it. I'd rather have him making boneheaded decisions instead of Rindour or have Webster pressing, trying to be the man.

Well, pointless to want Telfair since he is supposedly injured

Then to top that off, Flynn looks like he should go back to Sioux Falls ... as a reserve. Ridnour atleast makes attempts at defense. Flynn looks like some dude from the crowd that won a raffle to suit up and play.

If my dream came true, we would draft Irving, Rubio would come on over, and we would trade Flynn and Ridnour for an althetic defensive big.

Irving and Rubio would split minutes at the point for one year, and then we'd trade one of them for an awesome piece, or keep both, either works for me. And, we'd have a big that can actually defend someone would Darko sits. I can live with Wes and Webster as our SG.

Ridnour flat out sucks. I agree 1100%

Ridnour for Larry Sanders? Who knows, Bucks might actually do that. Jennings is out for a while and they somehow still like Ridnour

Didn't want to start a whole thread for this but here I'll stick it in here
Cole Aldriches thoughts on Milicic:
One guy who kind of surprised me seeing them play up-close was Darko Milicic. He’s playing really well this year. He’s a real crafty player, not overly athletic, but he really does a good job using his body and he has great feet.

This. Ridnour if fine as a backup PG who can come in and hit some shots. He is not starter-quality and he has no business being on the floor in crunch time.

The problem is, is that I dont want Flynn out there in crunch time either :lol:

Oh, I agree. We have four backups on the team right now. I guess we'll have to tough it out this year and wait for RR or hope that Flynn knocks off the rust and starts playing defense.

Sincerely and no offense, but maybe Luke and Jonny have a good court vision but they haven't nothing for view. And the same if we talk about Flynn's defense, or Peko's fouls if they had helps of his teammates.

It's difficult to judge any Wolves player if the teamwork doesn't exist. I have watched few games and I think this team can't do a team defense and everybody is attacking on his own. I trust next year will be another thing, with the new young players and a good free agent. Maybe we have surprises with some current players, both positives and negatives.
