Shamorie Ponds to rockets!!

Old school game, a little like a very poor man's Harden with some Earl Monroe like finishes around the basket...

 

So does he move well off the ball is all that matters actually because a role player has to.

 

When you strike out on all the free agents, just remember: there are other fish in the ponds.

 

Couldn't tell much because most of the highlights were him driving with the ball or shooting a three after a pass. He may have made a few cuts but I don't remember them.

 

I bet he backed out because the "incentive" based summer league contract

 

Sh'morey Ponds and no said splash?!

 

He can stand at half court and look disinterested... thats where we've set the bar, right?

I mean I hear it helps our spacing...

lol

 

I researched a little, seems like his weakness is that he is sometimes a selfish scorer and looks to play 'Hero ball'. Well played.

 

Fits right in

 

Uninspiring highlight tape. Dribble, dribble, dribble. #riograndevalley

 

Looks like Harden without the beard. Even left handed. Better than Vince Edwards already.

 

Haha, Young Harden was moving alrite off the ball and could dunk.

He is playing like old Harden.

 

Young Harden wasn’t doing step back (to the side) 3’s. Not that I could remember.

 

Also true. When Harden started out, the Step back was not that popular, everyone wanted to do the Eurostep by Ginobili.

 

When I first saw the highlights posted, I thought Harden in a Beverley body. I don’t know how tall this kid is.

You know me I joke a lot, but for the most part I think this kid will be easily better than Vince Edwards....who we
paid for last year. As good as a second round pick, is Ponds.

 

He looks like 6'2 but is listed as 6'1.

Also a student of deceleration.

 

Harden knew exactly what we needed. Told you guys

 

This reminds me of the time when Kirby named Andrew Goudelock 'Mini Mamba' and tutored him.
