I said he had a more polished game vs. Evans. In case you don't know, I think very little of Evans as far as knowing his basketball. I ain't saying a whole lot good about Amir Johnson by saying he is more polished as an NBA player than Evans.

By the way, here is the opinion of the announcer calling those summer leagure games: Amir Johnson is more ready as an NBA player vs. Darko. Ain't just me saying Amir Johnson has game.

IMO...the announcer was saying that Darko isn't ready for the NBA.

Question for Lee:

If Delfino or Darko's man made him look silly on defense would you give this the same attention as you would Evans failures?

No. Although he would use at least four paragraphs to say so.

I did not expect Delfino to be as good as he is on defense. I was expecting to be pointing out problems with his defense. Just nothing to report on that front. Delfino is listed at 6-6, despite being a true 6-6 bare footed. He could easily be listed at 6-8. And he is quick for his 230 lb weight. And he seems to understand and quickly execute defensive rotations. Pretty impressive so far.

On Darko, I expect other players to burn him. A few times. But then I expect him to learn, adjust, and do better against those players. Unfortunately, so far Flip has not played Darko much. Not a whole lot of chance to see how quickly Darko is learning. But overall, to this point, what I see from Darko is pretty darn good. His rebounding is about just where you would expect considering his lack of experience, and his shotblocking ability is shining thru just fine.

I am going to go check something out. Pachulia is having a good year. I wonder how his numbers were with less minutes in years prior? Catch you later.

I see somebody has decided Pachulia would be better for us vs. Darko. I will point out one simple stat. Darko is currently at 6.2 blocks per 48 minutes of playing time. Pachulia is at 1.0 block per 48 minutes of playing time. Pachulia is starting for his team and getting major minutes, but has no more blocks than Darko does for the year. Think again. Its Darko that is the right guy for this team.

Dude, your whole arguement is that Darko is better for our team because he averages more blocks per 48 minutes.

All of this is based on one stat that is projected and does not take into account his propensity to foul when he is an aggressive shot blocker?

Lame.

Come on Lee, you can do better than that.

There ARE other facets to the game other than shot-blocking.

It's a slow day in Flint, and lee is yanking your chains to get a reaction.
