Title: On a Side note: How has Maurice Aker looked in practice?
Post by: Detfan23 on February 14, 2007, 10:20:23 PM: I have not heard or seen one thing about him this season. I was pretty pumped when he transferred. Any news that can be shared? I haven't paid close attention, but I don't think I have ever seen him on the bench either.

I hope so, because his shooting last year was worse than James' this year. He's a good defender and a decent passer, but shooting is just not something he should be doing a whole lot of unless he's improved dramatically.

uummmhhhh... have you seen those guys shoot this year? We need a lights out shooter to get some respect and keep teams out of the zone. I don't see how lil' mo is gonna help that next year.

Post by: Nukem2 on February 15, 2007, 02:06:46 PM: Actually, TC stated atleast twice on his TV programs that Acker is probably the best 3 point shooter on the team right now. On the last show, Rab had Cuby and Lil Reece demonstrating 3's. Acker's form and success looked good in that segment.

Yes there is 0% chance that he puts together 3 good games in a row in march and some gm says "I like that kid's potential, he has moxie." and takes him at 30th overall. Are you serious? don't you see the kind of players who get drafted on a regular basis at the end of the 1st. You could list out reasons why evvery one of them shouldn't be going to the NBA.

Post by: muwarrior87 on February 16, 2007, 01:43:00 PM: I omit james cuz if he is here, which is pretty likely, it's pretty unlikely he and Acker would be on the court at the same time. And James doesn't play off the ball as well as he does on so i doubt he'd be playing much 2 guard w/ Reese running the pt.
