Hassan Martin  at 6-7 230 was Semi like-moved well
Made me curious enough to look him up URI graduate undrafted did a summer league then a stint overseas.

Uthoff looked pretty serviceable. I doubt he can crack our bigs rotation but I wouldn't be surprised if he catches on with another NBA team.

I just wish that they'd have him switch out onto point guards and shooting guards, what with that being his specialty, and all, lol ::) ;D.

The other team did not attack the hole when Robert Williams was playing center, they feared the wingspan!

Jabari Bird looked real good with the ball.  He can create his own shot.  His moves are 'slow-motion' like Paul Pierce so he can change on the drive.  He was +19.  However, he has to take some responsibility for Korkmaz' perfomance.

Jarrel Eddie can shoot, nice stroke, should find a place in the league.

Robert Williams impressed in short minutes.  What a relief!

Pierria Henry looked OK.  Was a +10 with 8 points and 7 rebounds.

Uthoff caught my eye because of how bad he was.  He hit one wide-open 3 and had a nice left handed layup with a big jump on his defender.  Other than that he was terrible with a pretty awful turnover and non-existent defense.  He doesn't have the build for the NBA.  I honestly hope the C's have satisfied their curiosity and give him no more minutes in SL.

Ditto here Rollie...thought for someone who is only 6'7" Martin sure takes up a lot of space. He seems to have a knack for grabbing rebounds, playing defense and scoring(?).

Didn't see enough of him to find out how he might fit in shooting, passing or guarding a taller player one-on-one.
I think if he were 6'9" or taller there might be a line of teams wanting to sign him. We'll have to wait and see if last night was a fluke (playing against a weak lineup?) or he's the real deal.

I thought Williams was on his way to have a real good game. Looked comfortable. Athletically looked a couple of notches above anyone else on the floor.

No doubt Yabu still looks raw, but lost is an exaggeration. He was one of the better players in the floor last night. I’m not saying he’s going to be able to make it in the NBA, but let’s not go overboard.

I see you have MUCH higher expectations for Semi than Yabu.

I liked Roberts closeouts and he looked like he is going to enjoy handling hand offs and passing out of the post.He landed on just the right team.
He got some really good press from one of his teammates as loving caring guy.This was fellow center from his team that sort of mentored Robert.Robert was a great locker room guy.
That mid range bodes well and that he can be taught to shoot.
Between now and training camp we could see a huge jump in Roberts game.I hope he plays tonight.
Does tendonitis bother anyone? My son had knee issues after a massive growth spurt-It took some of the fun away from playing .

I’m a Yabu fan, but admit to being disappointed with his lack of discernible development. You could see how Semi’s game had evolved since last season, how he was asserting himself more offensively.

Not so Yabu. Still more of the same: hustle plays, dumb fouls (7!), not much else. Redeemed himself some at game’s end, but expect more.

I wrestled a knife away from a guy once and we were locked in single combat.  He was mentally ill and threatening others and I did not want to see him shot.   The disarming was the easy part but the wrestling around for a few minutes until I could talk him down was what did my elbow in.   I got tennis elbow as a result and it has bothered me ever since.  But it has healed up somewhat.   

Tendonitis hurts, I lost some grip strength but could still do stuff on a lesser level.   I don't know what it would do to a knee but it would be painful.  Those bands that go around the knees would help because I used something similar on the elbow.
