It's not going to take much to get into the rotation right now. Competition will ramp up when Nunn and THT are back, but with Monk and AB looking awful and giving us nothing on either side, I'm fine with Ellington getting the opportunity to absorb all their minutes for the time being.
AB isn't always looking awful though. He's still a good on ball defender and occasionally gets in a groove with his Js and 3s, plus he doesn't suck with lobs like did.
I don’t care if he scores, we are scoring ok already, and Monk can shoot too. I want to see how he is on defense, because if he’s even competent he’s going to replace Monk, Vogel is clearly over the poor defense from some players.
I know folks are after Vogel, but I trust him. He says things that make sense and not things that fans/press want to hear.
OK, it looks like he is going to be useful. Let's give him few more games, but he's adding depth, for sure. We need that this season.
Smooth! Safe to say the shot is in full form. I think the pre-season was a result of the injury. Can hit it with very little space, catch and shoot, or off the dribble equally well.
Yeah, he can shoot. I'm not surprised. He used to shoot over 40% from 3 for DET, taking some of the worst threes I've ever seen. Just give him minutes and he'll deliver. If he's not hot (which happens to everyone), there's always Monk, right? I'm very happy he's back. Once we have Nunn/THT back, we're going to look much better.
