Boone Getting His First Taste of Preseason

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>At this time last year, Josh Boone was rehabbing his left shoulder. He sat out the entire training camp and didn&rsquo;t play until December 2. Now, even though he had surgery once again over the summer, Boone has a chance to use the preseason to prepare for his sophomore campaign....And his double-double performance in the Friday&rsquo;s preseason opener makes the big man situation more complicated.</div></p>

<p align="justify" class="style1">&ldquo;Virtually every summer for a long time he&rsquo;s had some sort of surgery,&rdquo; noted Lawrence Frank.</div></p>
<p align="justify" class="style1">Great. He's THAT injury prone?? WTF. This better not continue to happen, or i'll be pissed.</p>

<p align="justify" class="style1"><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"Josh has a great, a real intuitive feel on pick-and-rolls, just little half-rolls," Frank said. "It's one of those skills that's not necessarily taught. And he's a very good passer. Josh has a chance to - not based on exhibition, but based on practices -- he has a chance to take on a more prominent role."</div></p>
<p align="justify" class="style1">Dave talks about the possibility of Boone starting, and Frank tells that it's possible. If Boone continues success, who knows the rotation...with Collins, Krstic, Magloire, Allen, Williams, and now Boone...I'm starting to get skeptic again of Allen's chances of actually making the team.</p>

At least Boone got his Taste of Preseason without spraining his taste buds.

 

[GMJ]

Allen will make the team, the question is whether he stays there. He's not making a guaranteed contract, and is benefitting from an injured Nenad and an acclimating Magloire.</p>

I agree with GM, Thorn loves Malik and he's already drawing rave reviews from Frank and was meshing really well with the starters. I think his PT will depend more on matchups as much as injuries and other players performances good and bad. Actually I wouldn't be suprised if that's true for everybody seeing as all our bigmen are getting alot of encouraging words from the coaching staff this season and soon we'll see whether or not it's just being positive or if we truly have a deep quality frontline. The rotations will be key and figuring out good combinations are going to be frustrating at times but we have the talent there, we just have to maximize it.</p>
