Nice to see a fellow Mitchell Road grad.

Avery causes a lot of bad situations by his lack of lateral footspeed and defensive anticipation. He also seems to misplay lots of screens. Avery lets his man get past him constantly (as does T Burrell). This causes many bad rotations to happen with our bigs. I don't think either Woodson or TB score enough to offset what they give up in points, extra fouls, etc on defense.

I liked the switch and really wondered why it didn't happen before. I would like TB before Avery also but I definitely liked martin for Woodson.

Woodson is the only guy that can consistently make a 3.

But at least he is WILLING to shoot it...You don't even have to guard Crawford at the 3 point line because he aint gonna shoot it.

He has a nice shot. Don't get why he doesn't shoot more. I got a feeling he's afraid he will come out if he misses like Iverson and Wilson

He was 1-6 with some bricks and ill advised shots that he WILL shoot in a tight game. Right now he is a defensive specialist. I do think he will be a very good 4 year player close to 1,000 pt club and lots of steals and assists.

I think the "nice shot" was referring to Crawford.

Martin's shot is all wonky.

Likely won't be a 1,000 point guy just because he's only going to get about 150 points this year--meaning he'll need to get over 800 points in three years. With Pastner bringing in another combo guard next year and still having Markel and Broddie (?) there won't be a lot of separation.

Four year player for sure.

He gives up more points than he makes with his poor defense. Also hangs around on the perimeter and doesn't rebound.

Martin has great defense (better than even Crawford) and also gets the offense moving.

Charlie Moore is a PG not a combo
