Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 197761, member: 57"] Seems we pretty much know what we get in general from Melo, Scoop, Kris, CJ, Rak, and BMK. So that leaves the semi- MIA threesome (plus MCW): 1. Dion - Seems to me that he has lost his mojo after he failed to successfully assert himself and become the go to guy during Melo's three game outage. He is being talked about as a first round pick. He hasn't played that way lately. He has the bod - he has the game (so it seems). He needs to cut it loose a bit & get his 15 & 5 forward going and earn that first round draft status. 2. James - has anybody ever had so smooth a stroke & hit so few shots ??? The team can, in general, win wo major contributions from him, but if he could come off the bench & get hot even one game out of three that just might make the difference to a successful FF run or not. Three or four quick treys can turn a game around fast. I do not understand why that hasn't been happening for James. 3. Brandon - He doesn't have Dion's explosiveness, but he is bigger, stronger, and probably has a better outside shot. Why can't all of that translate to at least 10 PPG more consistantly ???? Just too many no shows for him. I have long felt he should be better than he shows. Am I over-estimating his talent ??? 4. MCW - Not really a semi-MIA because of too many DNPs, but he hasn't earned Jimmy's trust to get minutes when games are close. That is too bad because I think this kid could help before all is said & done, but it is probably too late in the season for him to get ovet the Jimmy trust hump. I just do not think we get to the FF the way things are going lately. We have dodged too many bullets in too many close games. We [I][B]can[/B][/I] get there quite easily IMHO if the two of my three semi-MIAs get the job done forward going. Just my two pennies worth. [/QUOTE]
