Do English, Doornekamp, and Cadougan play at the lowest possible level in Europe? I just can't see how they're professionals.

Argentina's pressure defense denying everything one pass away has given Canada some trouble getting into their offense. Forced to play through Nicholson more.

Did just say Bennett and Nicholson played for Sacramento :s?

This Argentina 4-Out continuity is a pleasure to watch. Just all ball-screens and spacing.

English is pretty old now so thats understandable. He's been in the ACB for a long time

The other two are just awful, I wouldn't even want them on our summer league team

They said that they were the two NBA players and that Sim Bhullar played a bit in Sacramento

I can at least defend Carl English (the others not so much). Carl should be much better than this. He is a starter for AEK Athens of the Greek League - which I'd say is the 3rd best league in the world (NBA #1, ACB #2) - he was a very good player in the ACB for a number of years too. This past year he was a starter on a good team in a good league, known as a great shooter and should be showing better. He could be in the twilight of his career though - I don't know whats wrong.

If AB can rim run like that every time off misses and seal his defender for an early post-up, no reason he can't find a place in the NBA.

wtfbosh · Post #795 » by **wtfbosh** » Wed Jul 22, 2015 10:23 pm

Murray going top 5 for sure

AB issue is he's never been on a team that really gave him a role. He needs someone to come in and give him the keys and he'll break out even if he's the main guy off the bench,

That Murray drive off the half-court pick was sick.

Amazing body control in the contact after too.

Part of me think Murray will be better than Wiggins, he's a much more complete player at 18 than Wiggins was or still is.

Love listening to Shulman and Fraschilla talk during commercial break

Vicious step back by Murray
