Did anyone know he was such a good free throw shooter?

CrookedJ

NO in fact to me thats one of the most encouragin parts - that means he has the potential to be a contributor on the floor in close games, and the potential to be a good shooter as well. Shooting touch is shooting touch as far as I'm concerned, and I can't think of anyone thats as solid as he's been at the line that can't shoot a jump shot.

now that sow is leading the D league in points,rebounds,steals,top 10 in blocks,freethrow% when do we bring him back into the actual league???

CrookedJ

I want to see him do it for 10-15 games to really get into good habits. At least he can experience a few wins as well!

When we are certain we can give him at least 10-20 minutes a game. ALSO, when more then three games have been played.

Looks like he's doing it again with 12 & 12 midway through the fourth.

"For those who don't know, I cover the D league for Draftexpress. I was at the game last night, and he looks good, a lot better than he did at the summer league in Minnesota. His shooting form has been completly redone, and it even looks like he can hit the 15 footer in games now. Most of his scoring is coming off of faceup moves, where he shows nice touch around the basket. His defense needs a little work right now, he gave up a lot of points to Deji Akindele last night. After the game I talked to him for a bit before he went to the locker room and gave him a call later on. He says he hasn't heard a thing about being recalled yet, but he's just going to work on improving his weaknesses and getting into the best shape he can, and not worry about being called back up. All of the other players around the league who I have talked to are very impressed by how he's doing, and they are surprised he hasn't been called back up yet."

Has Sow switched people?? :S. Bad at D and good with the shooting. Atleast he's rebounding, hopefully he'll learn the D there (against scrubs) and then come here with a MUCH more complete game...

Another double double for Big Pop (18/12)

The good foul shooting is a sign that he has a smooth, consistent stroke from the line with a good release. That should translate into a solid mid range J, and its not like he will be touching the ball outside 15 feet. So that's positive.

His D was always a problem. People assume he was a good defender because of the BenWallace comparisons, but he was equally raw at both ends. Raps saw the POTENTIAL to be a great defender. He needs to learn team defence just like all our young guys have struggled with. And for some reason Pape looks smaller on the court than his draft camp measurements. Not an intimidating presence inside.

Watching some of the highlights of his D-league play he is using a very HARD bank shot on his shots from the middle of the lane. And he is fading away on most shots. It doesn't look pretty but it goes in. Can he make it consistently? Would it work against nba C's?

I need to see a lot more of him to judge his progress. Can he finish strong under the hoop in traffic? That's what the Raps really need on O. And can he defend the paint against bigger C's and alter a few shots on D?
