Can Pressey be a starter in the NBA?

[Tr1boy]

IF he can play like tonight and shoot at a decent clip, can he be a starter in the league?

Short for a pg, short wingspan but he is ultra quick , very quick leaper, strong defender and of course talented passer.

With a steady shot (at least make the open jumpers) , i think he can be a very good starting pg. Reminds me of a nate robinson . Not as skilled offensive, but a better defender and facilitator

No, he is our backup, so shhhhhhhhhh. LOL

[Vox_Populi]

No.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

NO

next question.................

[Roy H.]

If he plays like he did tonight, absolutely.

However, that's just not sustainable.  I think his upside is a career rotation player, which wouldn't be bad at all.

well with our backup as a starter we are 2-0.  I noticed tonight when he took the shot there was more arc than usual. Looks like he adjusted his mechanics.

man is he so Quick out there. Your almost like getting a heart attack while watching him operate

[fitzhickey]

Nah, he had a good game but I think he's better suited to the bench. Good on the fast break and good defense off the bench

you sure? If he played a nobody pg, then i would think tonight is just one of the games. But he was playing against John Wall. He is a good player in the nba and has 5 inches height adv. Against Toronto again against a good pg in Lowry

It's not sustainable in that he shot 70% from the floor, and 83% from 3PT.

If he has even a "good" shooting night, instead of a great one, the Celts lose, and people focus on his 5 turnovers (to 4 assists) and his 6 fouls.

The 6th foul called on him in OT is forgivable. C'mon it went to OT.

Like Ty Lawson?

[Atzar]

I've said elsewhere that he does everything at an NBA level except put the ball through the rim.  Unfortunately, as a guard you need to be able to do that at least to an extent. 

I think his ceiling is a solid backup.  Energy guy who can initiate offense and make plays for others, if not himself so much.  If he can score just adequately, then he has a solid place in somebody's rotation.  But if he can't, he's probably out of the league in a few years despite the other things he does really well.

[SHAQATTACK]

He can be close to.  .......JJ. Berea


He amazingly brings out some good play from KO .....both coached right from the start and understand team work

[Tr1boy]

Like Ty Lawson?

nope. Lawson can drive to the basket at will and make acrobatic finishes. Pressey like someone said is more like a Barera. Nate Robinson.

I like watching him play. He is unselfish, ultra quick and plays a strong defensive game. I never seen his energy waver

I think Berea has more of a scorer's mentality and pretty adept at scoring near the rim.  Pressey is more of a pure PG.

Pressey is a pretty impressive passer.
