Naters Gonna Nate

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

You really do hate everything Duke don't you?

Has nothing to do with his school. He's an embarrassment as an announcer. Makes stupid remarks frequently. Plus, I did go back and listen and it was Williams who made the idiotic comment about Kabongo. And I couldn't care less if ESPN is happy with him. It's the same company that continues to bring you First Take and Skip Bayless.

Also, I hate Duke.

I'm Dvr'ing today's action again. Hope to see some more of Nate.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

I don't think anybody really knows where he is going.

That's what Kabongo said.

Nate has a slight Hip Flexer pull, and will only do upper body workouts today

Ish. Hope he heals up so he can do his private workouts.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

doesn't sound like a big deal, just going to take a few days off. Sounds as if he could do the drills, just doesn't want to do poorly because of the hip.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

For those wondering, this is the move Nate put on Myck Kabongo and made the Day 1 highlights at the Combine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkcG7HUzgE
Fast forward to 0:14 mark.

Seen Nate do that many times

If you listen, you hear Nagy. What a quiet place. A beautiful clip.

Some beautiful moves but what a weird clip. All his makes are at the beginning of the video and all the misses at the end of the clip. Weird.

To bad Nate did not put as much time into building his body in terms of strength size and explosion as he did shooting 1000's of jumpers with a flawed release. My guess is that is what they are doing with him at IMG--revamping his shot and showing him how to work on his physicality. If someone came up to him and said Nate--you need to change this and work on this after his junior season--I'm sure he would've done it. (my guess is that if he did he would've locked for a top 20 pick) Now hes at-least a year behind physically(because he cant compensate with innate athletic ability) and my guess is that he sits around 36-46. He needs to go to a team that has a three year plan with him and not a team who wants to stash him in Europe. If he is able to put on 10-12 pounds of muscle and the accompanying explosion --he's got a chance to be a really good NBA player in 2-3 years. I think he will need to start in the D league to get used to the speed of the games

What's the flavor of the day? Just salt and/or butter? Cheese? Kettle corn? Cinnamon?

(filbert mood-meter=mellow/playful. Sarcastic would have included "pie flavor" in the list, but . . . too soon, too soon!)

I'm a movie theater butter and salt kind if guy, but my "snookums" does not approve. I've finally made the transition to diet soda. Hard to do as I am part of the Mountain Dew instead of coffee generation. But I digress.....

I agree that he will need some time to develop, but that is not uncommon. The SDSU coaching staff made him a better player, and it was the right fit for Nate. Had he attended elsewhere, he may have never had this oppurtunity for various reasons.
