My draft board....I'd still take Magic with the 5th pick if he were in the past draft.

1. Rose
2. Beasley
3. Mayo
4. Love
5. Sessions

Ramon missed the contested layup, but that gear change he made was something you don't often see.

sucks I am the only one who can't get the f'ing feed....JA NEEDS to get to the line, 2 straight games with no free throws...needs to be more offensively aggressive.

nice to see Joe scraping together a decent line, but 0 fta in his last two summer league games? C'mon Joe, get after it.

I've been saying that I think he's the best PG on the roster. I know some will insist I'm saying that because I "hate" Mo. That's not true. I simply believe Sessions has a much better feel for the position and is a better PG. I have extreme confidence in him when he has the ball. Despite his youth, he plays smart and makes intelligent decisions with the ball.

I hate Mo, but it doesn't change the fact that Ramon is 10x better as a PG. Mo is a better shooter though...

If Sessions can play anywhere close to this during the season and against elite guards there is no reason for anyone else to start ahead of him. This kid is special.

How much time is left? Enough for a triple double for Magic?

Never got the feed either :banghead:

Hope there is at least an archive version in the near future.....

I haven't been able to for more than a minute all night, so I'm in your boat.

Sessions triple-double FTW?

That last play by Sessions was a little too Mo-esque for my taste. But he's allowed one of those a game.

The Bucks really do need some firepower off the bench.

Hope I can catch the archived game, at least.

In his defense, he's gone strong twice and didn't get a call. Otherwise the feeds were that good or he was pretty open for a jumper.

I've not been impressed by Alexander at all thus far, but tonight he's shown real flashes.

If the Bucks are stuck with Mo for another season, I hope he's used as a sixth man. Whether his ego will accept the move ...

I like M&M...I like the way he hustles.

xTitan · Post #198 » by **xTitan** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 4:18 am

right now the Bucks don't have a prime scorer coming off the bench.

My take on Alexander tonight:

THE GOOD
Very active defensively. Had 3 blocks and had a 4th negated by a charging call.
Shot the ball extremely well after a poor start.
Had a solid rebounding total.

THE BAD
Not a fluid ballhandler. I can see this being a problem in his rookie season
0 FT attempts. He needs to attack the basket more.
I'd like to see him rebound better. Even though he had 7 tonight, 5 came in the first quarter.
I think he was too unselfish at times.

I liked what I saw in the second half but he's definitely someone who has work to do on his game. I'd like to see him be more assertive offensively. He needs to do that in SL play because he isn't likely to get a lot of shots when the season begins. So if he can build up some confidence now I think that will help him when the games count for real.
