Question of the day for hoopers and coaches, would you rather he have 8 fouls or none? I'd be more concerned about the points and turnovers for a 6'9ish sharpshooter.
I think fouls are fine. Not that I was any good but I always found there was an adjustment period to any new competition/officials and I imagine going from college to NBA, even Summer League, is a huge change.
I also don't think turnovers are necessarily terrible especially if they are just a young player failing to execute what they see. (Ie they at least see what they should be doing and that is better than not seeing it at all.)
Yeah i have watched a handful of games and have been checking the box scores. Chet had a few good games, Wemby had one decent game. There are some standouts i'm keeping an eye on and will pick up a few rookie cards. Lots of scrubs running around out there too lol
It will be interesting if that makes a change. But, how do you legislate if a guy plays 60 "full" games then 5 where he plays a token amount of minutes?
Sure, his per game averages will look worse, but will voters penalise for that? Will the league make a ruling?
It will never happen but I think reducing games to around 75 and getting rid of back to backs and three games in four nights would make a big difference. Even with less games we may see top players playing not only a higher percentage but more games total because the grind is less.
Too many $ at stake though to reduce games scheduled though. Will be more likely to go the NFL way and increase them!
