backcourt played like crap though unfortunately, foye and mccants look like they need more time to get in the swing of things.

I read that Craig Smith couldn't stop Marcus Vinicius (sp?) of the Hornets. They moved Corey Brewer to stop Marcus and Marcus has not been that successful for the rest of that game. MV isn't a big name but he has played in the NBA before and proved that Corey Brewer can do the defense and steal the ball when he wanted to, he can.

Vinicius only made 2 field goals...

As usual Craig Smith just produces, and McCants doesn't. I thought McCants just said last week that we hadn't seen the real him yet, and that he was looking forward to proving his doubters wrong.... good start to that, Rashad.

Pretty typical Foye game too. Pure mediocrity. Yet people will strangely think that Foye and McCants are our two good young players. At least Brewer is living up to hype, thus far.

Sad thing only Brewer and Smith has showed up. Not our to be second and third year players in Foye and McCants, respectively. C'mon, maybe they seemed not to care enough playing in one.

I think Juwan Howard is making some number changes. If you look at their summer league profiles you can see this.

Howard gets 5
C.Smith gets 1 (old college number)
McCants gets 32 (old college number)
Richard takes 25 (odd man out)


Too bad for my McCants jersey....

I thought he was going to take 7 since it was available. He used it with the Nuggets. What a waste of money of McCants jersey buyers.

Foye should take notes of what Brewer does. Brewer goes out and has a horrible shooting night, but makes up for it with great defense and dominating board work. What happens on the nights when Foye's shot isn't falling? He becomes a waste of space.

[Avalanche]

mccants and foye redeem themselves with a win over the spurs, 22 and 17 points respectively.
smith again played well with 21.

brewer had an off shooting night but with his hustle still manages to produce, 13 rebounds in 27 minutes

[JuX]

It's nice to see Foye changing direction for the best. I'm impressed with Brewer as he was able to find himself useful in different ways than scoring. 13 rebs in about 27 minutes. They were playing up against the smaller Spurs line up, but so were we but won the rebounding title this game.

Thus far, this team is looking good. I personally would like to see more out of McCants and Richard. Foye should be doing a little better in the assist category, but he had no turnovers in the past game. Tonight's game against the clippers should be another good test for Brewer, since he will go up against thorton. Brewer seems a little shacky on the court, seems like he is always either traveling or something like that... Third game should be a good one.

[Mateo]

Two good games in a row for Foye? Is this the bizarro world?

[JuX]

Well we are going to lose tonight. Wait, this is only a summer league, I'm glad. This is good because we got to see how our youngsters play. Foye went off to a good start tonight.

[Avalanche]

foye and smith looked solid again, mccants' shooting has been terrible so far in SL.

Brewer was average, 8 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists...

[Mateo]

Craig is making a strong case for a starting spot.

where though, at center? i just dont think we could line him up against opposing starting C's , even if there is a lack of great ones these days.
