The other guy in the point guard equation is Carlos English. We are one of few teams that has taken a chance on Carlos, and I hope he will be able to reward our faith by playing some sound, fundamental basketball. We don't need him to go out and be Walker -- we need him to be the best Carlos English he can be. Which is to say, a penetrator, a defender, and a passer. If he can provide those three elements, he will really help and lift the club.
Undoubtedly, la duda is on the point guard position, and we need to have these two guys step up and fill the role. My expectations have not changed with this team -- they should be a playoff team and they have the talent to do it. We will get our chance to see where we are at the next two days.
I hope your right about Los not needing to be a Walk Jr type of player but I have my doubts. Jeff is it ever likely that these guys will earn a d-league salary that is even somewhat competitive with Europe and Asia?
ReplyDeleteA d-league salary couldn't be compared to other salaries. The dleague would be better compared to a paid internship. The don't necessarily get the better perks. But if they're good... they get a chance to move up the later faster than those trying to get in without:)
ReplyDeleteTwo lousy games this week. Another year with no playoffs.
ReplyDeletewe sould have the nba d league in indianapolis.bulid a nba d league in indianapolis.the team will called the indianapolis firehawks!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if our league will ever compare to Europe or Asia in terms of salary. The league would have to start getting some big time corporate sponsorships for that to happen.
ReplyDeleteThe upside for our league is that we actually pay our players, our players generally enhance their career here, and this is the only way for a call up to the NBA.
