He's not that athletic. That was the knock on him.

Deng could defintely play the 2, he might be a liability offensively but Im positive he could guard a 2 and guard a 2 well. I mean look at Gerald Wallace, hes not your protoypical 2 but he can play there.

I think Deng is smooth, but I would disagree with him being labeled as athletic in the paradigm of the NBA.

regardless, what does everyone think of JamesOn? Do you think he'll be able to add value to this team?

He could play the 2, but footspeed would be a problem with some 2 guards.

i dont really like him, he has some off the court issues, and there was a guy on board i really liked in Zabian Dowdell but i hear hes a good scorer and can be a good player off the bench. Yes i think he will make the team, at the expense of Andre Barret.

To be honest I'd take Barrett over Jameson any day, Barrett is lightning quick and is actually a point, Jameson yes can score, but is undersized for a 2 guard, has no court vision, and a bad/loose handle.

I love Jameson personally, but hey that's me. He lit up the Berto Center with this workout. He'll definitely add value to this team.

Deng is athletic, no if's, and's, or but's about it. The guy has emmense body control in the air, he can get to the rim at will, he can fly and dunk on people, he runs the floor extremely well, and when need be he can create his own shot. Deng is not ubber athletic, like Tyrus and BG are (Gordon is an insane athlete) but he can hold his own.

Darko please!

Oh yeah, if Noah and Thomas are our starting big men in a couple of years, yeah, we are screwed.

considering that he is expected to pull in 40-46, i think we're fine.

i like this story:

pretty helpful.

Noc signed. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2928061 5 yr. 38mm.

BUSTKUNTLAWL · 07-06-2007, 05:42 PM

I'm glad Noc got paid.

It's not like this team is going to be under the luxury tax anyway anytime soon.

Once Ben & Deng get paid we will definitely be over the tax. Might as well pay Noc what he deserves.

Um no it's not. Noce could've gotten easily 40+ on the open market, easily. We got him at bargain price.

iowatreat54 · 07-07-2007, 06:34 PM

now that we have him...time to send him, Duhon, Noah, and Khryapa for Gasol

I would miss Noc, but he's worth sacrificing to get rid of the other 3
