interesting. i thought he got plenty of good shots yesterday. makes me wonder how much the tough shots he took at Rutgers were teammates inability to draw defenses, to get him the ball in good spots, etc.

To be more specific, it's the inability to create less tough shots for himself. I don't think he's scored a single basket out of iso in his first two games. It's all come from spot ups, cuts, and putbacks. And those shots are great, efficient shots which he should build his game around.

Naturally, he's not going to get as many of those shots playing at Rutgers. But he's also complicit in his own shot selection. His lack of rim/FT attempts is a combination of his mentality/lack of ability.
 
Brice is better than that shooter guy in Miami who is always in trade discussions. Why does everything have to be a great defender? His criticism is overdone.

Ace is looking like a number one lottery pick. Wow. Flag who?
 
Ace's isolation/self creation game may or may not come around, but he can do so much on the court with his size and athleticism. Last night he was playing a lot like Lauri. He has a lot of potential on the defensive end as well. I think it's really important that he embraces this side of the game and doesn't try to chase being an iso scorer.

Mix in some mid post stuff with the Lauri stuff off of actions and the clean up stuff... I think its a recipe for a 20/8 guy with decent efficiency that can scale. His passing has been good so I think there is some self control in there... for now.

The post, iso stuff needs to be dessert... the other stuff is the main course.

Yeah....I don't mind mixing it in a bit. Just needs to keep the main thing the main thing. I think he needs to get physically stronger before he can have any kind of success in isolation anyways. He needs to be able to embrace the contact instead of using his gifts to fade away from the defense.

I’ll admit that I wanted Kas with #21, and that I was wrong and I’m incredibly happy the Jazz were aggressive and moved up to get WCJ ahead of Miami and before Golden Stare could get involved. He’s going to be an incredibly solid player - which is a steal at #18.
