Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Assement of JA summer league Game II

I thought JA let the game come to him. He did rush a couple of shots, but showed his reknowed "spring" in his legs" on his jump shot. Improved from game one. Had two passes where he led his man on the move perfectly for scores.

Had two "taps" to team mates on the offensive glass that allowed us to maintain possesion. Needs to be more assertive offensively, I mean most of his team mates won't be in the NBA next year, and some of them were just chuckers, yet he deferred to them.

Nice drive and finish to start the second half. Sat out the entire second quarter, played all but two and half minutes in second half. Helped nicely bringing the ball up the court, actually handled that aspect with ease. On an opponents dunk attempt he was called for a foul on a blocked shot where his body made contact, but he difinitely showed "ups".

He shot better in this game (5-9) than in game 1 (2-13).


Overall, a so-so game, but improvement from game 1 is what I was looking for, and he accomplished that.

Definitely nice to see him bounce back a bit. I’d love for him to show some more aggressiveness offensively in looking for his shot, but at the same time it’s also fine if he’s trying to play within the team concept. He’ll need to do that come November, but it’d be nice if he threw us hardcore fans a bone by dropping 25 next time out..

Mistake?

Ok yes I know it’s laughably early. But if we had to do it again, would you pick Bayless instead of Alexander? Yes Guard isn’t exactly a “need” for the Bucks, but still the way Bayless tore up the Summer League and the way Alexander faltered doesn’t give me a lot of confidence.

Of course I’ve been against Alexander since March when he beat my Dukies in the Tournament…but I’m trying to remain somewhat objective.
