Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 219732, member: 485"] Scoop as captain deserves a lot of credit -- when he gets pulled, he keeps cheering for the guys who are playing and never, ever is anything other than a positive influence. Great example for any of the others who have to sit next to Hopkins when they would rather be on the court. I agree about Rak -- there were times, and will be times, when he gets overpowered on defense. He doesn't have the bulk to contend with some of the veteran big men, but he is learning. He also has more skills on the offensive end than he has shown so far. Really like his upside and his attitude. Maybe those 1 minute assignments have done something positive. We can hope James will bring it game after game -- more likely, JB will have to mix his combos because James is the definition of inconsistent. Again, big credit to JB for keeping James in the mix, and to James for working on defense and the boards to supplement his game. [/QUOTE]
