I didn't see Jekore at the game last night.

"woof-woof-woof!" Trans: Indeed!!! I think ASW's a kibble and bit away from the same fate. He didn't play very long last night, I only recall a couple of trips up and down the floor and a pass boucing off his chest before he was snatched quicker than an abcessed tooth. Anyone there noticed that he almost never extends his arms over his head, they stay down by his side almost at all times. Does he even have an offensive repertoire of which to speak? He runs up and down the floor like a gazelle, that's about it.

He can run,, Ill give him that. But,, he didnt seem to make any efforts at getting a couple of rebound opportunities, or do anything else for his 60 seconds of PT last night over 2-3 offensive/defensive sets. Its surprising that a guy with his running ability seems to have no hops/quickness off the floor.

Only played BB for about 5 years. No BB instincts...

Matrix he can run and run, thats all. I always thought a coach should teach every players a go to move, the one move he does better then anything else. Hook, up and under, turnaround heck even a flop if thats all the player can do.
ASW must be loved by his teammates and coaches as a player and person, as they all must see by looking at ASW, the gift of coordination they were blessed with.

is it really that hard to teach a player, who is an out of this world athlete, to play another sport? Granted it takes sometime to get a consistent shot but ASW could easily be out jumping, out running, and most importantly out hustling everyone.

Who let's the dogs out? Woof, woof, woof.

When ASW gets on the floor, he reminds me of that squirrel in Over the Hedge.

+1.

Just play defense, run the floor, get layups, and rebound.
