Hell, he was good in the NBADL. I'm thinking maybe Pickney and Morris and we have 2 guys who are young and don't make much playing BU C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 It's nice to have a backup plan. Hope we get one or both of the two bigs we worked out but I doubt that happens. Is he better than Solo?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrReality Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 he has dropped plenty of weight and has become quite a bit more athletic, while his face-up game has become simply a thing of beauty. Pinkney showed a sweet arsenal of step-back, fadeaway and turnaround jumpers from mid-range, converting some very difficult shots and looking like a potent weapon on pick-and-pop plays. He created his own shot nicely from the high post, putting the ball on the floor and elevating off the dribble like a classic modern-day forward would. He fell in love with his jumper a little too much at times, but he still really separated himself from almost every big man here thanks to his advanced skill level. In transition he showed good hands and nice ball-handling skills, getting to the free throw line by being extremely aggressive, looking for his own shot at all times. In the mid-post, he continued to show off his soft touch, throwing in a gorgeous turnaround hook shot (ala Tim Duncan) off the glass that really left a lasting impression. A one-handed floater here, another pretty jump-hook there…it’s safe to say that Pinkney made the most of his time here by displaying his entire offensive arsenal.

GameTime Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I am honestly more impressed with Othello Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I like them both but I like Hunter more and I think there is less chance of his name being butchered here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone034life Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Othello Hunter = Carl Landry/Udonis Haslem Undersized but athletic and energetic enough to make a roster spot. Even Chuck Hayes has stuck in the league a few years and he can't be taller than 6'6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwell Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Jason Maxiell is only like 6'6"-6'7" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
