Bird played at a different time where the three was not emphasized as much. He would have shot circles around Sam.
Are all the Hauser Haters from last year and the Summer league going to fess up?
Who are you kidding? The last few games he has had 17, 8, 0, 9 and 5 points. He is all over the place, Liam, but he is not excused from Summer League.
He has shot well for sure. He had a great game tonight but he can't play D, when his shot is falling he is not worthless.
I am glad he had a good game BTW we need shooting and offense and I hope he works on his D.
His defense hasn’t been Duncan Robinson bad, at least. If Hauser can become an average defender and shoot 50+% from 3pt, I can live with that. Also needs to develop the ability to shoot off screens. Right now he’s standstill catch and shoot only. It’s obviously a very small sample size, but he’s been better than I thought he’d be.
Sam can shoot off screens just fine if they run screens for him. Looks like you missed this play, post, or the video highlights, but you can watch it here:
