here's a 6-7 game update for those of you who want to know how the guys from last years squad are doing (excluding mr. johnson)
RICHARDSON- his knicks got their first win tonight after losing their first five... he remains a starter but only gets 6.8 ppg... he was never a consistent 3point shooter, but .235 from beyond the arc is horrible... he's playing ten less minutes a game but is averageing the same amount of turnovers... he's getting less boards less assists and less steals while shooting a worse percentage... and here's something that stands out... he did not shoot his first pair of free throws till tonight... i was never a big fan and didn't lose any sleep over losing him but it does not make me happy to see him doing so poorly... he even looks uncomfortable on the floor... *struggling*
HUNTER- his team is 4-3 which is good for 1st place in the weak atlantic... it seems like they will compete with the nets and a decent celtics team to finish 1st place there... good news (for hunter not philly) is he is starting... he's putting up notable career numbers in ppg (9.3) bpg (2) fg% (.658) rpg (4) mpg (29.3)... but it will not last... with dalemberts return he will be back on the bench... i'd like to see even better numbers out of him with his new minutes but i have to remember he is just a fill in and is not capable of big numbers... he will do fine here and probably play even better off the bench... it's a nice fit... *success*
VOSKUHL- they are the bobcats so they're 2-5... there is a lot of size in charlotte so it's hard for him to even get out on the floor as the third big man off the bench... he's only played twice... i can't really say anything one way or the other because i have not seen him play... he played 16mpg in his 2 appearances and averaged 5.5 ppg which is probably what he'd give them every game if he got some run... i always liked him... he had some heart... the year before nash he played a decent sized role here... all he can hope for is charlotte moving some of that size before the trade deadline so he can get on the floor... if he can't get minutes there, he can't get them anywhere... *struggling*
MCCARTY- congrats mr. mccarty... your team is in first place in the west at 5-2... too bad i haven't seen you play, which is probably going to be the case this season... he got his first minutes tonight against philly in a loss... he just got put on the 12 man roster... he shot 1-5 from 3 point range... once again i can't say much because i haven't seen him play... atleast he's warming the bench for a winning team... they may even sneak into the playoffs... this is what happens on the downside of your time in the nba especailly if you spent your career coming off the bench... i guess if you're in his position you can't really ask for much more then what he has... i'm going with... *success*
OUTLAW- he's in the same position as mccarty in his career... he's playing more minutes, but his magic have little hope of any success especially with mr. hill having problems again, they are 2-4... 12mpg and shooting the worst percentage of his career at .273... he was above .500 every year of his long career except this year and last... he's a nice guy... maybe they have room in l.a. for him... walter can save him a seat... he's playing but his team is horrible... *struggling*
PARKER- BIGGEST I WAS A SUN LAST YEAR SUCCESS STORY... #1 in steals per game (2.83 spg)... did you see him d nash!... he is the starting, yes starting pg for a competitive lakers squad at 3-3... nash numbers (scoring wise) from last year with .508 fg%, .400 3p%, and 14 ppg... the offense runs through kobe so his apg (3.5) are low for a pg playing 36mpg... and since he's not making plays his turnovers are low (1.5 to)... do i see him keeping up this pace? no... but then again i did not see him even starting off like this... *success*
TABUSE, SHIRLEY- where you at??? (someone boost mobile them)... *struggling*
feedback???
