Absolutely. Lead by example kind of veteran with no major ego. He's a great fit for the team and he's a great type of veteran to have on the team.
One thing from all this (offseason, summer league, training camp)... i would kill for Mad dog's job .
Kenso....who's stronger....your opinion upper body and legs.... Julius or Bif who's now in his prime? I'm thinking Julius upper body already while Bif may for now still have him with lower body strength?
I don't know. I think even though Biff doesn't play bully ball, he is strong as **** (i think he was one of the strongest players in the draft combine history and im sure he got stronger). We hear people (coaches, players, reporters) saying Julius is a beast. Let's wait few more months and see .
Nance had back spasms and didn't practice. Huertas has a strained hamstring; he didn't practice as well. On the other hand, Russell, Kobe, and Artest practiced fully. All according to Trudell
Maybe Byron pushes these guys TOO hard? Or maybe that's how training camp practices are for top conditioning?
Scott called the injuries to Huertas and Nance 'minor'. He said there is no real concern according to Trudell
I don't realy follow other teams (especially not during training camps and pre-season) but number of injuries on our side is a little bit worrying. Let's wait and see how Byron manages Kobe's minutes .
I think it is just how top training camps are. You should be in good condition coming in but it is difficult to be in seasonal type of condition. There are always going to be minor injuries, aches and pains. We look pretty good as far as significant injuries go. Plus if you have any concerns in the beginning about a player just say they have an injury and let them rest. Just being smart. Management, coaches and players are all doing a lot of good things.
There could be other reasons we keep him, but I hope it's his play that removes all doubt in fans. If he doesn't outplay others in camp, I hope Mitch follows through on his willingness to buyout contracts to keep the best people. Either way, I don't see him as a top 10 player on anyone's roster, so I doubt he really impacts anything either way.
Not enough reason to keep him for me. Clarkson, Williams, Young can all hit 3's. I think Russell was decent at them in college and Huertas isn't bad. Kobe can probably still make a few as well. Kelly lacks in too many areas for me to want to keep him just for 3's, but sadly since he's guaranteed we probably will. That is unless Frazier, Holmes, or J Brown somehow tear it up in preseason, though not likely.
