Sorry that a whole 7ppg and 5rpg in 18mpg didn't impress me. i guess if that's what you expected then it makes sense to like him but after seeing him get beat up in a summer league, then do that, then get beat up again I'd have to say no i am not satisfied at all.
yes I would say again that he doesn't bring very much leadership, or toughness to the team. Work ethic is maybe moderate. I mean it's so strong he treats summer leagues like a chore instead of a chance to show how good or dominant he is. yeah yeah I know. I know. They were focusing on guardplay yadda yadda,. It didn't stop Gomes.
If he's so productive why aren't you praising Gomes who outproduced him last season? Look at FL news article pointing out that when he got the chance to play Gomes scored over 11ppg and more than 6rpg, which is far more than AL got and Al got just as many chances as Gomes. I wrote a long post a long time ago about how many more double doubles and whatnot Gomes had gotten so where is the praise for Gomes? And then as if that wasn't enough Gomes went out and dominated the summer league and Al got hurt.
great I hope Al did turn the corner. I guess he got tired of being shown up in summer leagues.

i just read the conditioning article and you can pretty much read into in what you want to. You can see all the comments about him turning the corner. I can see all the comments about how hard Delonte works. You can see how Perk was out of shape when he came into the league and I can see how Gomes and Green work out at 3:15 am. You can see him working out hurt, and I can see him doing a whole 65 pushups and passing that off as work for a week. (That's what is said. It couldn't possibly have meant that.) You can see him working hard and I can see him making dumb comments where he clearly doesn't get it or see causation (I thought I was in good shape and then I got hurt and never got to show what good shape I was in).
i guess we'll see during the season. Up to now I'm not happy with him and don't think he has showed much more than flashes of which other players have shown more
