Nolan is playing off the bench tonight. err: he started.

 

[illmatic99]

Nolan is starting, and is #2 in white alongside Jimmer in the backcourt.

 

[illmatic99]

Nice drive inside and finish by Smith against Kemba. He's definitely not shy.

No, I don't think fake accounts are allowed...

lol, i entered my regular email, but it didn't ask me to confirm anything. So I figured it would be okay with a fake email.

Either way, Nolan is balling. Faried looks stiff.

Announcers are gushing over him.

He's got 4pts, 3asts, 3rebs by my account in the first 4 mins.

Replaying at 9!

 

[THE HCP]

Nice find HCP!

 

[illmatic99]

There's more talent here than most summer league games. But just as much D.

Nice find HCP!

Do you always talk to yourself?

 

[THE HCP]

Nope, but your sister and girlfriend do!

 

[THE HCP]

^ That didn't really make sense huh?

Nolan Smith, 20pts 10 assists, start of the 4th qrt.

Best player on the floor.

 

[illmatic99]

At least 8 of those 10 assists have been on alley oops. He will fill in perfectly for Dre.

I've been impressed by his PG skills. I didn't think he could pass this well.

 

[illmatic99]

26pts, 10asts, 6rebs for Smith. Still 5 mins left for him to get a triple double.

Good lookin'.

Got the DVR set up.

Liked the Nolan Smith pick at the time(especially over Faried). Sounds like he could be a nice find.

Have a good feeling about him.

Faried is a fucking beast! It's too bad we couldn't have gotten him also.

Faried is a fucking beast! It's too bad we couldn't have gotten him also.

This team is pretty set at that position(especially if the Carl Landry interest is real). This team is dying for a PG.

Faried has a pretty limited ceiling(undersized 4 that's all motor), while Nolan could be a potential starter at some point imo.

I think he definitely sticks as a backup PG.

 

[illmatic99]

lol that was fun.

Nolan finishes with 30, 13, 7.

 

[PapaG]

Nolan Smith is a bust, though. I was told this by some guy's prediction and also because he's not a teen, meaning he's at his ceiling.

This can't be true!!! Somebody make the lock out end so I can learn from all of the experts here, like on draft night!!

Of course, Faried is almost 22 years-old with no offensive game, but hell, draft him!!!

It wasn't easy to find, but...box score!!

Efficiency points: 36 Nolan, 29 Faried in the same number of minutes. Faried didn't suck at all.

Observations:
Jimmer is SLOW. He has some creative ways to finish, given his lack of speed, but they might not be creative enough. Nolan isn't exactly a speed demon either, and he's very turnover-prone, which isn't going to endear him to Nate.
Faried had any number of dunks and can really get up there. But Biyombo is totally legit. And Leonard and Harris probably looked the most ready to contribute of the players out there. Harris is like a richer man's Jared Dudley.

But yes, Nolan clearly HAS been practicing his lobs...

Clear crowd favorite: Isaiah Thomas.

Solid Character, No Doubt. Here's to Coach K knowing something about Nolan's ability to translate his game into the NBA that we don't.
