Luke Babbitt Speaks!

[Wizard Mentor]

He seems reminiscent of Kiki to me.

Well, apparently Babbitt IS getting played at the 4:

Of course he CAN...... but he is gonna get lit up! You bumped this thread for that comeback? How do you "un-rep" somebody?!?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Babbitt will play this season at the Behind-Dante-Cunningham position, which is low-stress except for the occasional butt splinter.

He's Boise Bound, I'm tellin' ya'!

Lit up by whom? A lot of PFs aren't offensive threats, particularly in the low post. And if he can get them to foul out on one end, they're not going to be scoring on him on the other.

I agree, it's not ideal. But I see Luke as a lot more of a shorter Dirk than I see him as a taller Chris Mullin. (Insert "poor man's" before each, of course.)

No doubt he won't get much time, unless we're beset by injuries again, but it's interesting to see that that's where he's getting played.

Personally, I think Elliot is the candidate most likely to spend time in the D-League early on, at least until a Rudy trade. Babbitt at least has value in practice - he can test the Blazers' 3-point defense. And of course Armon is our our second-best PG.

Ouch. At least he TRIES on defense.

HCP seems to think all backup power forwards are offensive juggernauts.

Cracker ass monkey....... I could score on this kid!

I think a lot of you are sleeping on Babbitt.

Babbitt is a fantastic shooter in drills, but he has a lot to learn about other stuff. Armon Johnson is a terrible shooter, and he has a lot to learn about other stuff. Johnson and Williams need to go to the D-League, with a committee playing substitute PG.
