Klashnekoff Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 http://netsdaily.com/images/0809/cdouglas-roberts01.jpgHill Impressed with CDR’s Improvement…on DefenseJuly 5, 2009, 8:46 pm With Summer League about to kick off Monday, Brian Hill praised Chris Douglas Roberts’ defensive effort. “I can see a dramatic improvement with the way that he is working in these practices,” said Hill. CDR admitted he has to improve his “D” if he wants minutes. Meanwhile, Hill said the Nets have been checking out Terrence Williams’ versatility. it looks like he can play a little bit of three different positions.” I like hearing this, i always knew he had potential. Can't wait to see Williams and Roberts play next season.. i would personally hope for them to start the SF and SG positions for the Nets.

Klashnekoff Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 You haven't watched CDR to make a valid statement about who starts .. CDR is gonna be a solid defender in this league, watch him in the Summer League.. he is going to show what he's got to some doubters ..

Playing well in the Summer League doesn't prove your worth in the NBA. Courtney Lee is three thousand times the player Douglas-Roberts is.

Anyway I have seen him play, and I think he has a ton of potential, but Lee has already proven he can guard some of the best in the NBA. CDR has proven he can guard some of the best in the Summer League. Not quite the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klashnekoff Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I've watched CDR play, and while I love his game, I'd much rather have Courtney Lee starting. Courtney Lee starting the SF wouldn't work though.. it's a general throw up between Hayes, T-Will or CDR and CDR would be most ideal.. Lee is pretty much out of the question because he would be incredibly undersized playing SF. Who are you to judge what Ive seen? Anyway I have seen him play, and I think he has a ton of potential, but Lee has already proven he can guard some of the best in the NBA. CDR has proven he can guard some of the best in the Summer League. Not quite the same. Because you obviously didn't watch the Summer League now did you?.. Don't lie either because if you did you would have seen what CDR did and he had a great performance .. too bad that Speights is playing and ball hogging .. lmao 26 shots by Speights when CDR was shooting better ..

Klashnekoff Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Well Courtney Lee was never brought up in this discussion .. it was about CDR and T-Will regarding how CDR has improved and that he should start if he continues to improve..

OldChili Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Well you said this: Can't wait to see Williams and Roberts play next season.. i would personally hope for them to start the SF and SG positions for the Nets. And somebody else said: Id rather have Courtney Lee start then CDR And you responded by: You haven't watched CDR to make a valid statement about who starts .. And I'm saying that at the SG position, Lee should start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klashnekoff Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Oh right then, didn't see that dude bring up Courtney Lee. Well i think it's obvious Simmons won't be with us for long .. is he on a expiring contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're willing to start him based on one performance? Your plan is to have CDR start at the 2 and T-Will at the 3 or vise-versa, and have Lee come off the bench? Or is it between these 2 players over 1 of the spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx. Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 CDR wouldnt start but would be a good player off the bench and being a bench player on the Nets is key because of Lawrence Franks rotations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtTheDriveIn Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 So you're willing to start him based on one performance? Not just one performance. But one Summer League performance. This is why I'm convinced that Klashnekoff could be the greatest GM ever. He's just so great at judging level of competition and players skill levels. *rolls eyes* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurbyFX Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 CDR did nothing but shoot in the second half of that game, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one Summer League performance. This is why I'm convinced that Klashnekoff could be the greatest GM ever. He's just so great at judging level of competition and players skill levels. *rolls eyes* Well he is going to have opportunities to start this season regardless.. if you didn't know that which you obviously didn't then you shouldn't be coming to me with them smart [expletive] comments .. CDR is the only player other then Hayes or T-Will that is suitable to play the SF position for us.. If Hayes goes down then CDR will start guaranteed.. T-Will is a little undersized so he would only play SF when the other team we play changes up rotations and has a smaller SF for him to guard .. CDR did nothing but shoot in the second half of that game, lol. Speights? .. 26 or 28 shot attempts? .. CDR did more then him for the team ..

BlueDevil Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes i did, it was the Nets/76ers vs Pacers and CDR had 20 points.. he was impressive.. You know who else was impressive in that game. Tyler Hansbrough, so if one summer league game makes you a starter, then the pacers are in big trouble this season. All im saying is that it makes more sense to have CDR come off the bench and start Lee and maybe T-Will, im not sure yet with him though.

KurbyFX Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Actually, he didn't. When ever CDR had possession he'd find his own shot. Whereas when Speights was on the court, he was taking shots as well as creating for his teammates via high-low game. The only reason he had so many shot attempts were because he was either: a) Around the room working on his post moves.b ) Unguarded and let wide open to shoot the jumper. Hop off CDR's dick.

Klashnekoff Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I ain't on his dick dumbass, I was saying that why would we even think about starting Lee at the SF? .. The guy is 6'5" .. he would get massacred .. T-Will is suitable but he needs to get a few NBA games under his belt before he can even be considered a starter.. CDR is the suitable player for us for the SF position, either him or Hayes will start but like i said if Hayes goes down then we will see CDR starting .. Hayes will most likely start SF this season for us .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klashnekoff Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 http://www.nba.com/media/magic/utanjnphi_boxscore_070709.pdf Guess it wasn't one game either, another impressive performance and evident that this guy is improving.

Universe Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 CDR defense was amazing in the first game but didn't catch the second game. If he could add some muscle on him, he could easily start at the three but is just too weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While his pt total was high, he was not being a team player, and in one case had a 3 on 2 fastbreak, took the ball up the entire court, and missed. While he will no doubt make the Nets roster this year, I still dont see him starting. Maybe through injuries or something, but it would be much better having him come off the bench.
