you can compare his stats with Suns great Alec Brown

http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/alec-brown-1.html



I am sitting here laughing at this weakness video makes it look like the guy shouldn't be playing college ball let alone NBA ball.


Yet he averaged 22.5/10, and avg'd nearly 89% FT% this season, not to mention, when he played 'NBA' talent, he didn't shrivel up and shrink away--meaning, he played as well against the big boys as he did against the Horizon league scrubs.

KY, OR, BYU, AL...all games he scored 23+.

There's a reason he was 54th, but he was also rated 31st by DX...that's not on accident. He had low TOs, has high BBIQ, and is a non-injured 42+% 3PT shooter.

There is quite a bit of difference between Alec Brown and Alec Peters...550 more total pts and 50 more TRBs on 600 more total minutes, yet Peters even with those more minutes had...yes, Brown had more blocks...he should, he was 4" taller...

...anyway, you get my point...


He will make the team imo. You need shooters like him, particularly at his size, and he plays smart.

Coming off the foot injury - see if he is ready. If not, get ready for the drive up I-17 to Prescott a lot. You might be taking Mr Reed with you. That's okay - they need to play. If Knight is traded, Reed might stick around

I am okay stashing one or both half the year in the G League - NBA made a good transition with that league

Lindsey flirted with Alec Peters there for a bit inviting him to cook for her. Lucky guy.

Sounds like a Bledsoe/Booker/TJ/Jackson/Chriss starting 5.

Ulis/Bender/Chandler off the bench.

What happens to Len/Sauce/Knght?

I'm just very hyped that we took 2 seniors in the second round.

Think we'll be very close to SL favourites.

I agree. I support trolling and banter in the general board, but you should never go into an opposing team sub board and start trolling. :lol:

If you going to do that, at least make another account and try and do it incognito style.

Ulis and Peters are not gonna play in SL, we need to find a good prospect at PG to execute plays.
We can even try Jackson at PG for a few minutws.

We have been relatively quiet on summer league invites. No surprise with the day care center roster we already have.
Find a PG somewhere, or, as mentioned, may be we drafted him. Perhaps we call up that white kid from a few years back that Johnny Vancouver was in love with.

Thats the guy Mooch.... forgot he was a SG. Playing in Jeruselem now.

you can troll Celtics fans with a naked hook. Their fans are widespread and rank up there (down there) with steeler fans on arrogance. I think I know more C fans than the rest of the league combined.... but I am on the east coast and shielded fortunately from the fLaker fan boy train. I personally wish no titles for Boston ever again. Perhaps my least liked team in the east. Tired of the Wizardlight Jedi label on Ainge. He fleeced an inexperienced desperate new foreign owner and is dubbed Lord of the Deal. Go ahead and celebrate the IT swap too.... they aren't winning anything with that diminutive chucker, but now stuck with him till he demands a chunky paycheck. I dont see them as anything to get excited or concerned about, even if they land Hayward or Griffin. I think they have a hodgepodge roster.
