[閒聊] Gabe

[calbert (Yummy)]

 Here's what his D-League coach had to say about him:

"He'll grow into being a pure point guard," said Jones by telephone.
"He's a playmaker and if you can pass the ball to set people up like he can,
you can be a point guard. When he is in the mind-set of setting people up,
he can be a point guard."

Consider me skeptical anytime I hear someone trying to sell me on the
"we can convert him to a pure point guard" routine.  I've heard it one
too many times in this town (right Joe Forte?).  There's no such thing as
"becoming" something you call "pure."  Either you're born with it or you
are not.  You can, however, teach shooting guards to be decent enough
distributors (Billups is a good default example).

Given the fact that both of our other "point guards" are really shooting
guards who can't handle the rock, I'll consider Gabe to be an upgrade
if he can simply get the ball over half court without making me dry heave.
Plus, the kid has shown so far that he can play some solid defense.

With Rondo out against Portland, coach Doc Rivers told Pruitt during
shootaround that morning that he would get an opportunity to play.
Rivers has been concerned about Pruitt's defense and had told him his playing
time would be determined by his defensive effort, not his offense. Assistant
coach Armond Hill also spent time with Pruitt prepping him for the Blazers.

"I'm really proud of him," Rivers said. "All we work with him on is
his defense. His offense is good."

But does all this make him our solution to the backup point guard position?
Probably not entirely.  I mean, you can't rely on a rookie second rounder
to back up your second year starter and expect them to make good, solid,
veteran decisions every time down.  But the kid can't hurt us too much
by playing some minutes when he's needed and getting more accustomed
to the pro game.  And who knows, maybe he'll surprise us and really make a
splash like that other second round draft pick Big Baby.


--Rondo如果是不會投籃的Parker..
Pruitt就是不會投籃的Chris Paul
