[QUOTE=ninerID;230948]is this a positive for alexander, or undeniable proof of Bobby Lutzā lack of ability to stabilize a team.[/QUOTE]
It is interesting he came in with the āselfishā label. You forgot to highlight this part, though:
[QUOTE]Alexander was the third cog in the well-oiled Holiday Inn team that won the PIT tournament championship.[/QUOTE]
Unfortunately he was our best player and was expected to hit big shots and win games for us. Thereās a comment in there about him feeding off the others and their success.
I thought the team was pretty stable. They didnāt give up on the season or bitch at one another. Alexander needed help at the point, and inside, which is what he got at PIT.
[QUOTE=ninerfan55;230950]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.[/QUOTE]
EJ had the best year so I guess he was our best player, but DA has more talent. He did not man up when we needed him. No big shots or key rebounds like Eddie used to do.
[QUOTE=LeftyNiner;230432]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 DAās 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, Iām 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.[/QUOTE]
most logical post you have ever made. bout time and nice post.
DeāAngelo Alexander - Excelled in the shooting category where he drilled five 3-point shots. Defensively he played the passing lanes and ran down the court on one occasion for a nice lay-up in transition. Interestingly enough, despite showing the ability to score, he struggled some when trying to create off the dribble. Despite his impressive shooting performances, Iām not sold on him being a pure shooter. In my mind heās much more of a scorer. From an NBA standpoint, there is a lot to like: good body strength, scoring mentality and above average perimeter defense. Based on his play, Alexander should have a legit shot to receive an invite to Orlando.[/QUOTE]

Lefty, I got to listen to that, plus his mom and brother for the last two home games. His brotherās running commentary on the other Niners was pretty good stuffā¦ :rolleyes:
