eyenga is super impressive, play him the whole game lol

That Manny lob to Eyenga is exactly what I want the future of this franchise to be... man that was awesome

It's scary to think what Eyenga's ceiling could be.

A lesser version of Rudy Gay? Not that scary.

I gotta say, reading these and then reading game threads from earlier make me smile. You guys change your opinions so incredibly fast on players. One day, Samuels sucks and isn't worth anything. The next game, well he's a keeper. One day, Gibson is the only thing worth keeping, the next day, he sucks.

You guys gotta stop making every game the new end-all, be-all for who can actually play and who can't.

I'd love to get Kyrie Irving, but not sure if he's coming out. They keep full court pressing whenever Harris is on the floor.




The kid was drafted 19th overall, while Amar'e was drafted 9th and people are expecting him to be Amar'e? The kid isn't terrible. Just not a star, but people gotta remember he didn't get a lot of playing time till his second year here. He was injured his first summer, so that hindered his development. Hickson is only 22 years old, Eyenga 21.

No, this just isn't true. I'm one of the harder guys on Hickson on these boards, and I don't expect him to be Amare. The problem is he THINKS he is the next Amare, and plays like it. Tons of shots. Tons of jumpshots. Constantly trying to do to much. A total disaster on defense.

Here is what I want JJ Hickson to do: Play hard. Rebound the Ball. Don't look like an idiot on defense. THATS IT.

Doesn't have to average 17 a game. Doesn't have to have a jumpshot. Doesn't have to be able to handle the ball like Blake Griffin. Play hard, rebound, and stop playing defense like Jamison.

He, to this point in his career, has managed to do one of those things I listed (for the span of a couple of weeks). Furthermore, he thinks he can do the rest of the things that I said he doesn't have to do, and fails miserably at those. I get that he isn't Amare, so you know what, he should stop taking jumpshots like Amare, he should stop flying at the rim like Amare, and he should stop playing defense like Amare.

Eyenga is most certainly a keeper. nuff said.

Anyone have a video of the manny lob, somehow I missed it.

Yea, Eyenga might have some good value. He actually hustles around on defense. If he never develops a realiable jumpshot, he could still turn himself into a defensive stopper with really good athleticism..something like a smaller version of Josh Smith (w/o the rebounds).
