tonegully Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I have watched all the summer league games and let me tell you something fellas. This is a different guy from last season. He is very, very active on the floor and very aggressive. I mean he is running the floor, attacking the basket, and has a 3 point shot. It looks like he is playing to really show and prove to Bud and Ferry that he needs to be on this roster. Has anyone else seen his summer league season so far? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member turnermx Posted July 19, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yes, he has been playing great! All Muscles needs is a little muscle, pardon the pun. Offensively he is aggressive and he is using his length well on both ends, but he just needs a little more bulk to avoid getting pushed around out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anxietyreigns Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yeah, I'm liking what I see. Could it be...Muscala > BeBe? Suuuuuuurely not. I like his 3pt shot though amd he is active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LamarHampton Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Very aggressive. I see a lot of improvement over last year's SL. I remember he kept getting knocked to the floor all the time. Real nice stroke. I hope his improvement translates into this upcoming season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member cam1218 Posted July 19, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 He's looked really good in the SL. I haven't seen all of the games but I feel like he's been our second best player. Ferry has done a great job with our second round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread police thing will kill this board, eventually. The most effective boards I've been a part of have one single forum where everything goes. All these forums and sub forums and which thread stuff goes in, creates confusion for new members and makes people hesitant to post. Let's see, does this go in the Summer League thread, the Muscala Summer League thread, or the old Muscala thread from last month... Just post and if it's uninteresting, people will scroll past and find what they're looking for. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferry has done a great job with our second round picks. I agree. I have seen all the games and man he stood out big time for me. He looks like a totally different player. I guess being a rookie and all last year, maybe he was a bit nervous. Him and Payne were fighting each other for rebounds tonight. I like it.

buckeye242424 Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 He's played well, and I like his potential. But these games in the summer are pick up... It looks nothing like we see in the regular season, let alone the playoffs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted July 20, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I like that he seemed to almost always be around and battling for the ball. I like that he's got some post moves. I like that he is a decent, though not exceptional, rebounder. I like his shooting form and think that that bodes well for him to gain more consistency. I like maybe most that he's developed his game in 12 months to the extent he seemingly has, and believe that if that trend continues for the next 12 months, we've got a keeper. That means we need to see more improvement on defense first and foremost, imo, and concurrent to that is, I think, improvement in the weight room so that he can't be rutted out of the post.

What doesnt fly too well around here is draft or trade specific stuff not gojng where it should. Threads about other teams not going where they should. If someone makes a thread and it shouldve been added to another moderators will merge it. However, we here like to have the courtesy to make sure moderators (who are volunteers) arent doing a ton of unnecessary work all because us members want to do things how we want instead of how we should. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrypack Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Average pick and pop big, needs to show he can do something else to be a staple I'd take an average nba big with a 2nd round pick. if he could be a rotation player and provide even average defense, he was an incredible pick!!!! he seems like a good character guy. if he can give us 10-15 minutes a game and 8/4, great. (stretch 4, btw.) payne probably more of the backup c between the two. i really like how he moves, but would like to see more muscle tone and thinner skin before i feel comfortable that he is maxing out his athleticism. the q on him is defense, i believe. will be interesting to see how the hawks use these bigs., esp with scott likely coming back. someone is going to get minutes at the 3, i'd think.

If he keeps working on that move it'll be nice. Edited July 20, 2014 by JayBirdHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
