thefloydian Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I don't think there's much chance of it happening, but I would like him to make the team so he could experience some real coaching for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDawg#8 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 "When you go out to compete against guys of that caliber, what do you hope to gain personally" Josh " uhm....you know uhm........nothing really, im just going out for one thing only... to make the team" For those of us that hoped that his game would benefit from this experience, its not looking good so far.

Source: NBA | Added On July 20, 2009 This is a really good chance at an important learning experience for him. Hopefully he can really take something back with him and it helps improve and mature his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyRoc Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I honestly hope they clown him every time he does something boneheaded. If he doesn't learn by coaching, make him learn by humiliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't learn by coaching, make him learn by humiliation. Yeah, that'd be good too. They'll probably just encourage him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, not a chance. Let's just invite every NBA player to Vegas in the off season to play and learn, get better, represent the USA. What will 99% of the other NBA players be doing, sitting on their butts in the off season. This is nothing but a positive experience for a young player, no matter what happens, basketball wise. Now off the court....well, it is Vegas.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamillion Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I can't see it being anything other than a positive experience for Josh. Get some playing time in with other players and leave him wide eyed. Im sure if they chump him off for something, he'll be more likely to pay attention- almost in the way that if your parents give you advice you hear it, but it doesnt sink in until your 'cool uncle' says the same thing.

I couldn't agree more. Would do a world of good for him to soak in some of the knowledge that will surround him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexmethylphenidate Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) One game playing for a real coach could equal to 5 years with Woodson. Edited July 21, 2009 by DeerPark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
