If that makes any sense.<BR/><BR/>The guy is just a winner. All that crap that white sportswriters usually use about white players - smart, hustle, hard-working, coachable - you can apply it Jeff Green, and I mean that as a compliment. He just seems like the kind of guy who is intelligent and athletic at the same time. The kind of person who you only have to tell something once, because he listens and absorbs. Maybe I'm giving him too much credit for only a few minutes of summer league action, but I am totally impressed with Jeff Green so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-12148830421673047902007-07-20T12:27:00.000-07:002007-07-20T12:27:00.000-07:00IS THERE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF MO SENE DUNKING?IS THERE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF MO SENE DUNKING?IAN JUDDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17213356852922050104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-48029803842217253212007-07-20T11:50:00.000-07:002007-07-20T11:50:00.000-07:00Hosley looked amazing, but you're right, most of h...Hosley looked amazing, but you're right, most of his points were in the paint. He a had a sick tip-in and flew through the lane for a dunk put back over the entire Bulls team. He also had a few drives for layups. I don't think he put up a single trey, but he did make a short range jumper or 2. So he didn't show any kind of jump shooting range but he definitely got the job done in the paint. <BR/> I also noticed that Green made a few smart plays, one in which the shot clock was winding down so he pumped faked and got his man in the air and then got fouled shooting a 3 right at the buzzer. Hopefully those types of plays will give him an edge over ordinary rookies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-83385110569392763442007-07-20T11:36:00.000-07:002007-07-20T11:36:00.000-07:00Brandon,How did Hosley look?

I don't know much about his range as a shooter, and since his best fit on this team is as a SG, I'd be curious to know if he was hitting jumpers, or only transition points.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-23921571703324631132007-07-20T11:18:00.000-07:002007-07-20T11:18:00.000-07:00Yeah, Presti assured me the point guard position w...Yeah, Presti assured me the point guard position would be resolved soon. I jokingly asked if he was making a huge trade deal because he was on his Blackberry before I caught him, and he just laughed and said "There's a good possibility".

I thought "Durancula" would be a stretch. Mine is more of a hybrid nickname, like how Count Chocula combines the fearsome vampire of lore and the delicious sweetness of fake chocolate. Also, Dracula is more of a bad-ass than something you can just step on.

Thanks for the info, Brandon, much appreciated. Glad to hear that Presti is actively trying to resolve the PG spot, because regardless of whether you think Watson or Ridnour is the right answer, we all agree that keeping both of them is definitely not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-58184786336547971122007-07-20T07:59:00.000-07:002007-07-20T07:59:00.000-07:00Mean Jeff Green.Mean Jeff Green.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-39367109541598031852007-07-20T07:58:00.000-07:002007-07-20T07:58:00.000-07:00I don't think Durantula is a play on Dracula, I th...I don't think Durantula is a play on Dracula, I think It's a play on Tarantula.

I also had a chat with Sam Presti in the hallway at halftime and he assured me that the Sonics were trying their best to stay in Seattle, and he said they're still contemplating the PG situation. And as for the quick start, it was definitely all Green (the Green Monster?) He scored 8 points in the first 90 seconds of the game. And Hosley was a beast, he was tearing through the Bulls the whole game. One final note: Swift was on the bench in jeans and a light blue polo shirt, which my wife informed me "clashed bad with his bright red ponytail and tats", but I can't wait to see his progress on the court.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
