Yeah, he really can, though he didn’t do so all three days I was there, as much as he did the last day. The last day he looked like he could be a superstar! Seriously. The interesting part is going to be how that will translate to a real NBA game, from the semi formal pickup games he is playing in now.

I didn’t get a chance to see Isaiah Thomas. He wasn’t there during my visit. I will tell you that OJ and Roger Mason aren’t really that big, compared to me, but man are they good! Roger Mason’s quick release is soooo fast!

I appreciate the kind words man! Means a lot! Thanks for reading!

Yeah, looking through the highlights it seems like Selby can really tear things up. I’ve always enjoyed watching O.J. Mayo play… you know he’s spent a long time honing his shot in the gym with that stroke. Did you by chance see Isaiah Thomas play? I’m always interested to see how the more “regular” sized people make out. 🙂

Anyways, always great to hear a perspective from a fellow fan/ball player rather than what the media wants to write!

Thanks Jerome! Yes, it was awesome!

In workouts, I was really impressed by OJ Mayo and his effort and execution. So consistent. I thought Alan Anderson really brought it too each time.

In games, John Wall is as fast if not faster than you imagine him to be. It seems almost too easy for him to get to the basket. Really mind blowing, if you play hoops. Rudy Gay just coming off the injury is soooo long, he can get his shot whenever he wants it and handles like a small player. Crazy. Chauncey plays just likes he plays in the playoffs, under control, running things. That was cool to see. Really so many guys can do so many things.

As far as rookies, Josh Shelby looks like he is going to be the STEAL of the draft! That guy can flat out BALL! He can finish strong at the hoop, has deep range, and lots and lots of confidence.

Having seen all of those guys up close, whose game did you come away the most impressed with? Especially the new guys who are going to be entering the league whenever/if this year’s season gets going?
