Has there ever been a worse top 5 overall pick than Vesely? He can't hold Darko's jock

Hmmm...I'm really beginning to think Ariza opts out for a multiyear deal....

Oh yeah, for those who hated the Okafor trade and wanted Jan to keep his starting position. I would have OD'd by January if I had to watch Jan play 30+mins (if he can stay on the floor that long) a night. I've seen better basketball players at a church cookout.

Honestly, Opec is a better player then Vesley is. At least Opec could shoot.

We wanted to see Seraphin keep his starting position . . . and Singleton playing the 3. Of course that was before we actually saw them play this year. :roll:

You guys are hilarious. We won with ease and all you can do is pick apart Vesely in 1.5 minutes of garbage time. WGAF.

Games like this are how I see Wall in the future. Nice number of assists, efficient offensively, just hitting lay ups and wide open jumpers, great defense. That will be enough.

Real under control today. Also great to see him make six perimeter shots tonight including a corner 3...One hung though; it seems like he not attacking the basket as mic as he used to. His attempts at the rim and within 3-9 feet are down this year. I wonder if its because he's more confident in his jumper, if its because of the injury, or if its due o Néne and Okafor taking a lot of space away in the lane..???

AFM · Post #52 » by **AFM** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 5:37 am

Jive, I noticed that too. He's more into the left to right cross over pull up. Probably something he's been practicing. He's much better when hes aggressive to the basket. But if he feels confident in the elbow J, he should take it.

I noticed this as well. I get the feeling its something to do with proving people wrong that he can step up and improve his shooting... its the one thing he talked about most when confronting the critics.

Agreed....the next step for him will be to get the right balance between driving and shooting as defenders begin o play him more honestly. If defenders start playing closer and closing out harder, he should be able to use that to his advantage,

He been doing that. Most people dont notice this. He Trying to drive but teams no when ball is in his hand to guard the paint. then he tries to shoot and bricks. its been the issue from the start.

He bricks because he shoots his jumper immediately after his crossover. But he doesn't shoot it on balance. he shoots it with the momentum he has from his crossover, difting to the side. He needs to learn to pull up completely vertical after a crossover like Westbrook.

Wall needs a full training camp & preseason to work out the kinks. I think he works hard but certainly the results make me question the efficiency of his efforts. He definitely needs to keep working on that corner 3. If nothing else get the corner 3, be aggressive and attack but and treat the ball like gold, not like balloon filled with helium and he'll be one of the best all-around Gs in the league in a year or two.

I thought Wall played better tonight, but I wouldn't say he played "great defense." Yes, he had 2 spectacular blocks on Bobcat fast breaks. However, most of Walker's 30 points came with Wall guarding him.

Kemba was 11-25, 3-9 from three (33%) and 8-16 from the field.

Hm, yeah, that's a pretty good offensive game. Didn't watch the game, so....
