Last week he made a shot tougher then that in the lane, but you wonât find it on youtube. Iâve seen hall of famers put up crap like that, finding reddick doing it is nothin special. Like jimmy said, his shot was 50x better and he made people his B$%^# in the ACC(>A10).
[QUOTE=Ruckus42;230236]Most of you people bashed DA all year. He was far and away our best player this season. I just hope he can make it to the NBA so I can read all of your posts about how you support him and how it is so great that he is doing these types of things. It is so funny to hear you guys talk about how selfish he has been all year and how he doesnât do this and doesnât do that but he has one good game at Portsmouth and everyone is so happy for him. Some of you make me sick.
Good luck DA[/QUOTE]
this guy will NEVER play a second in the NBA. All the jocksniffing on this guy makes me wanna puke. He is soft soft soft. I wish him well in his personal life, but he was a boat anchor as a Charlotte 49er basketball player and the program. He was supposed to be a senior leader this year and was far from it. I agree he âmayâ have an NBA body and skills, but there are 100âs of guys walking the streets with the same body and skills, he is nothing special, which is what the NBA is all about. You donât think the scouts know his intangibles are non existant?
Didnât Curtis Nash go to Portsmouth too?
(I do agree with you that its ingenuine if any of the people circlejerking his one nice game this week were bashing him a month ago)
as history has proved dozens of times, an NBA quality college player can carry and lift his team a long way, Iâd say 14-17 didnât carry or lift us.
[QUOTE=Chisox17;230243]If Deangelo played for Duke, he would be a late first rounder, or early second rounder. As it stands, he may make it via the Eddie Basden route, but I highly doubt it. We will see though.[/QUOTE]
Deangelo is a completely different player than Basden. DA can actually shoot the ball. Basden was more of a defender with athleticism, he canât shoot at all. I donât know if DA will make it, but if he does it will be because he can score in multiple ways.
I also donât understand why people say he was selfish. He certainly wasnât a ball hog this year. Other than Leemire,was there anyone else you guys would have rather had taking shots? I donât think so. Drayton canât shoot and didnât want to man up and get in the post, that pretty much leaves no one. Someone has to shoot it, so why not make it your best player. You guys have also forgot that every play Charlotte runs is a play that Lutz calls. If a player jacks up a three, 70% of time itâs because that was the play that was called. If you want to be upset at someone then make it the guy calling the plays not the players shooting the 3âs.
Chisox youâre right about him being a late first rounder if he played for Duke because he would have been in a different system that would have allowed him to do more than shoot threes.

heres a youtube video:

stay tuned to what the announcer says after the last basket, THAT is the difference between reddick and DA.

I doubt when he stops on a fast break and doesnât let any offensive rebounders catch up then launches a wild NBA-range three, that it was planned. DeâAngelo consistently throughout his 2 years here would not pass the ball to the open man many times. Most niners could make a wide open shot; a lot of them just didnât want to shoot, like Courtney Williams for example seemed to pass up on good shots because he wasnât confident in his game, but thatâs a different story.
Leemire takes a lot of shots, but no one gets on him because he does pass the ball and isnât always looking to boost his own stats. Heâs a team player. Also, if you watched the end of the year, Draytonâs game really picked up. He was a much better player than Alexander, in my opinion.

Is this a joke?? Did you attend a single Niner game this year?? WowâŚ
[QUOTE=gotLutz;230412]Is this a joke?? Did you attend a single Niner game this year?? WowâŚ[/QUOTE]
LOL I was thinking the SAME thing.
Major concern going into the season was DA doing his own thing and taking too many shots. I think we saw a lot of that although the team seemed to stay together. An example is the N Texas game where DAâs dad attended and happened to be sitting right behind me. I happened to get front row seats for the game. His dad was shouting out instruction and DA was listening. He told him to take the game over, take it inside, etc. I actually thought it was a good plan but seemed like their own agenda. Still, Iâm glad he was a Niner, he played hard, and is a talented player. Just not NBA material, and could have been more of a team guy.
I found this at NBADraft.net evaluating the players at Portsmouth. Guess whoâs at the top of the list. None other than Mr. Alexander. :dribble:

Iâve said it before, and Iâll say it again. DeâAngelo can have success in the NBA. Heâs got the skill and the size. If he was on a better team where a true PG or a huge center would dish it to him for open 3s all the time, all of the sudden, heâs everywhere. This team, we forced him to take the team on his shoulders, and for a shooter, thats hard to do anyway. We told him to be selfish because heâs got the talent. When you go to a top tier program they donât tell you to be selfish becauase youâre good. Your teammates open you up and you open them up and it works hand in hand. HereâŚhe was doubled and tripled because it was obviousâŚan NBA prospect on a team with a couple of shooters and thats it. I swear, heâll have some success, AT LEAST in the D league. He could thrive in a place where he doesnt have to always create his own space.

Thatâs assuming he would of ever sniffed the court if he played at Duke.

More on AlexanderâŚ
Alexander really bucked the âselfishâ label during his three PIT games, proving that the right team chemistry can drastically alter the nature of a playerâs game. Alexander was the third cog in the well-oiled Holiday Inn team that won the PIT tournament championship. Alexander fell into a rhythm with teammates DeShaun Wood and Russell Carter, appearing as if the three had played together for years instead of mere days.DraftExpress.com: [b][url=http://www.draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=1992]Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, Day Four (part two)[/url][/b]

is this a positive for alexander, or undeniable proof of Bobby Lutzâ lack of ability to stabilize a team.
Good write-up from draftexpress that Run linked:
[QUOTE]Alexander doesnât have the overall package that teammate Russell Carter possesses, but he has good overall ability and definitely drew some attention from some scouts here, be it domestic or abroad. Heâs got the potential to be a solid pro player for a competitive team somewhere for sure if he can continue to harness his game and blend with teammates the way he did in Portsmouth. [/QUOTE]
both. i would disagree with whoever said that da was our best player this year he wasent ej was. also, whoever said ej wouldnt man up and play in the post should be embarrassed, he was the toughest player we have. he played hurt all year and out of position, never complained, rebounded great, scored and always played with heart. ej definitly manned up.
