Finally got to see him play in person yesterday and he actually wasn’t that bad. Ran the floor extremely well, good on pick-and-roll offence, not so good on pick and roll or post defence but big and quick and he’s going to be a player. A pretty darn good player it looks like right now
OT, but this is a professional writer and NBA analyst? He writes like a guy having a conversation with his neighbor. "..actually wasn't that bad...pretty darn good player..." What a horrible wordsmith he is, a high school kid could write better prose.
Honestly! He writes like a kid!! I don't like his articles, and he's now jumping on the JV bandwagon.. I honestly wonder why people read his articles. It's all junk!
I think you need to consider the audience that the Doug caters to before you criticize the way he writes. Yes he's arrogant, but I think he can be when you consider his audience. This audience is not the 'real gm' hardcore fans who eat, sleep and can stretch a conversation about a scrub to 20+ pages. The reality is, most people just don't care enough to really look into or argue what he says.
Even if he wasn't reading facebook or english press or forums all lithuanian press wrote about that...
