It's nice to see Russ let him use his paddle guys. I guess that's progress to see the leg is still attached
Once camp starts we won't be able to hide anything related Kendrick. Or AD either for that matter, I'm looking for the Chicago Boys to show up and show out.
One on one drills don’t really wow me if you’ve been gone for over year, but at least there are signs of life.
the finishes with his right are pretty good for a lefty (no way manu or harden could make either one of the first two layups he made, even in 1-on-1 practice). no wonder his at-rim finishing % is so good.
He's a solid role player, above average but is he damaged goods? I tend to think Pat Riley knows a thing or two about players and wouldn't let him walk so easily.
maybe, though i'd argue that riley has made numerous serious misjudgments of value in his time in miami. he's been great at convincing stars to play there and devising ways to get them there, but he's not infallible. and he may be damaged goods, but as we debated here previously, riley couldn't have known that when he walked. if he had misgivings, they had to be about his play or some intangibles, not propensity for injury.
This is tired. And you have to realize you could be wrong (as could I) here and he's back to being able to play very well again. Unless another injury of the s*** happens variety occurs and then this place will blow up irrationally as it always does with the armchair warriors. Kobe was one of a kind in playing with and through injuries and spoiled all of us.
I still think Nunn is a starter if healthy. He has a complete game. Beverly and Schroder are good players but their games have more holes than Nunn. He seems to be the type of guy Ham likes. Strong, fairly athletic, can shoot and penetrate (finish with either hand), passes well and can play defense. He played well in the finals so the moments won't be too big for him. I'm all for whoever earns the spots but I would like to see Bryant, AD, Lebron, Reaves and Nunn. That is a solid line up with everyone having to be accounted for.
