Moose - no fan of RJ...I hope he doesn't pull a NUri/Sampson this season...
As I said on the other board-
He has no shot at the NBA next year. That is the point. And he keeps telling the world he is going to be in the NBA next year running PG for the Knicks and the Heat and blah blah blah.
I'd love to see him stick around 3 even 4 years and then yes I bet he can be an NBA player. I understand kids and their families have needs. But if this kid has his eye on the personal prize then he's in for a rude awakening. Look at Christon from Xavier. A better player than Jordan and he was a very late 2nd rd pick who is D-League. He needs to buy into the team concept.
Why is the game meaningless by the way? Because the game is an exhibition we should write it off? What if it was the first regular season game against whoever we are playing and he coasted as well? Others are anointing Chris the next coming against the same team that Gift scored 24 against.
As I said more I see him more I'm not seeing a PG. I loved him playing off the ball in the 2nd half and look what happened. He played a helluva lot better. This isn't based on one game. He's not a freshman. I didn't watch my first SJU game on Saturday. He can make passes sure. But as Doc pointed out that isn't a PG. He has a sloppy high handle, poor decisions in where he goes and too many of these other PG's are quicker than him. I'd like to see Jamal, Dee and him together. That could be a lot of fun.
