BTW, I think PEJR will be a better player than Luke given the chance. Luke does nothing other than a few good plays every few games. He messes up a lot in crunch time too.
We should start a collection of NBA player's son. Hey, I hear Anthony_Mason_Jr. is available in the next draft.![]()
It will be interesting, they are two very different players. Walton got lazy this year, but had been a "good at everything, great at nothing" role player with a high basketball IQ. From the little I know about PEJR, he seems like a potential lock down wing defender, who can hit the Bowen corner 3 and also has a high bball IQ, but is not particularly strong at the other aspects of the game.
I think it is interesting that the Kings also brought in a second similar player to our Summer League team. I think it's a farily safe sign that we are looking to move Artest and develop someone who can provide us the same D, while we can replace his O from our other positions.
how funny is it that both walton and ewing were 6'11-7'0 centers and their sons are 6'7-6'8 small forwards...
jordan was a 6'6 sg and his son is like 6'1....

Ewing sounds like James Posey 2.0 to me. Great defense, knocks down open threes, hustle and athleticism off the bench, selflessly putting the team above himself...

If this trend continues, the next generation will be either jockeys or coxswains on a rowing crew!
Don't quote me on this but I think MJ's ex wife is only about 5'3". So that pulls down the height for their children. Probably same reason for Ewing Jr.
PE Jr is a fascinating guy. A GP kind of guy maybe like a 6-8 version of BJax or a quicker-leaper version of Bruce Bowen. Hard to know where he fits: NBA off the bench or a Euro starter. Personally, I'd like to see the kid make the team as a 2-3-4 bench sub when someone needs to be shut down. Then to see what offense he can contribute. A poor mans bench RonRon maybe.
That's why I like being at the summer league. One gets to see first hand the obvious and not so obvious abilities of the players.
we'll see what happens with him, he doesnt look all that great on paper but if he can hit open threes with consistency then he'd be an okay bench player.... he sounds kinda like trevor ariza but with a better outside shot... which wouldnt be that bad of a thing to have. we need athleticism and hustling and thats what he brings....

I thought Gerald Wallace didn't have a jump shot in his first couple of years as a pro?
He hit 13 of 46 three point attempts last year (28.3%), which doesn't sound like the sort of consistency a team would want. I hope the guy can find a useful niche on our roster, but people should really stop talking about him as a threat from the perimeter, that's really not one of his stronger points.
