He's also shooting it at a 96.2% clip over his last 19 games (51/53)

He is a decent player that is asked to do too much. He has done pretty well learning to play sf which isn't easy. Being one if the better defenders in the team forgives anything else

Nothing forgives his inept dribbling. He needs to keep working and working on that...

Many of us wanted MKG...well, we got him. Michael Kidd-Gee.

Can you imagine how bad we would be if we had drafted MKG. Boobie might have been our starting SG. I think we got lucky getting Dion...although Beal would have been nice as well.

Re: Alonzo Gee signs

Considering MKG is already a better player than Gee and is six years younger with a much much higher ceiling, nah, I'd rather have MKG...I think he will be better than Dion, too, but we'll see...

We're 2-6, the Bobcats are 4-3. It's not that hard to find a SG who can put up shots - if we decided we needed more scoring. MKG by all reports is doing terrific.

Re: Alonzo Gee signs

I guess I need to add an emoticon after the butchered up last name for some to believe that I was joking...

Anyway, I still believe our record would be worse ***right now*** if we had MKG. Not to say our long-term outlook would be worse - that's TBD.

Re: Alonzo Gee signs

Gee has been solid since his initial bad game. He's never going to be an All-Star but he's a guy who would be getting minutes on almost any team in the league: can't say that about a lot of players on our roster

Wish he had a better shooting % but he's scoring.....I guess that's the 1st step

Re: Alonzo Gee signs

The guy's so explosive. He's got to be one of the most athletic guys in the league, and it's like he's on full-steam every second he's on the court. He never goes half-pace. I freaking love it.

One thing he's fixed this year is moving earlier once he gets the ball. He doesn't stand around anymore, but he could still be more fluent on offense. He's also at least trying to become a better ball handler, it seems.

Re: Alonzo Gee signs

Gee always seems to be improving on some aspect of his game. This is his 4th season i believe, hopefully we see the constant improvements in Dion and the rest of the young group in a similar fashion to him. always loved Gee

Re: Alonzo Gee signs

I think we will really begin to appreciate Gee more when we can finally bring him off the bench and use him as a defensive specialist as needed.

 

[PosterTime]

Re: Alonzo Gee signs

Alonzo continues to silently have a good season. He struggled the first game or two, but his defense has been very consistent and his offense is acceptable. I cannot wait to see him develop more this year. He'd be so good off of the bench in coming years once we (hopefully) get a starting/scoring SF.

Re: Alonzo Gee signs

I really like Gee and I respect the work he has put in to be where he is currently.. but its frustrating to see him do anything more than shoot the wide open three and cut to the basket offensively. I know he's been asked to do a lot this season and he really has no choice with the talent surrounding.. but its just ugly.. he's out of his element running pick and rolls.
