Delonte West

LeBron should be worried...

Chriss needs to learn how to box out. SMH.

The "core" looks pretty bad. Like that Fox though.

Lakers screwed themselves again. Can't believe the whole country bought that Ball hype train?

I think Bender looks good. JJ isn't overly impressive, but he's doing well. Reed has stood out in my opinion. Chriss has gained some weight and his shot is broken.

Bender needs time, luckily he's 19 and still the 2nd youngest player on the court tonight. He doesn't need to play major minutes and can come along slowly.

I keep telling myself that. But I can't say I'm not concerned, right now he just does not look like an NBA player.

Neither Bender or Chriss are playing well...

I dont see what people see with Bender. Yea he moves well for his size and can pass and plays ok defense.. thats about it

JJ and Reed have looked better than out second year guys.

JJ has the speed to stay in front of Fox, and his second jump is giving me flashbacks of the Matrix.

Geez Bender is 19 years old! I swear if he doesn't play like prime Dirk, he isn't worth a roster spot, right?!

grumpysaddle · Post #432 » by **grumpysaddle** » Sat Jul 8, 2017 5:05 am

I like bender looking to shoot. He's got a quick release and can get it off over most players. And he's 19.

My thing is we used age and experience for Len too, look where that got us

Also like that Chriss contests EVERYTHING

SSOL · Post #435 » by **SSOL** » Sat Jul 8, 2017 5:07 am

Bender can't guard anyone out there.

MathiasPW · Post #436 » by **MathiasPW** » Sat Jul 8, 2017 5:07 am

Bender plays great defense. He moves quickly and has great awareness. He also hits 3 at a good clip. So 3&D is well-covered. It´s just that he has tools that make us expect more on offense.

SunZel · Post #437 » by **SunZel** » Sat Jul 8, 2017 5:08 am

I am more worried about Chriss than Bender. Chriss has some habits that i think will keep him off the floor in playoff basketball.

SSOL · Post #438 » by **SSOL** » Sat Jul 8, 2017 5:09 am

Playoffs?

grumpysaddle · Post #439 » by **grumpysaddle** » Sat Jul 8, 2017 5:09 am

Bender does need to spend time working on his dribbling. He is bouncing the ball up to his chest.

Reed is impressive
