Moderators AHF Posted October 28, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) I didn't hear any discussion of Thabo in the portion of the video I watched and he didn't play in the fourth quarter which was the subject of the video. That is why I asked to point it out if there was something significant that was in there. I am not convinced he will get a lot better shots in our system. Most of his shots were the easiest 3pters (corner shots) which were wide open. I agree that he should get more opportunity to cut. Let's see how it plays out and whether it adds up to anything of note. I am not confident that Thabo will be better on offense. At all. I am positive that he will seriously upgrade our rotation.

HawkItus Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Just wondering how much of a difference do you supporters of starting Thabo think it will make? A huge difference? One more win? a point or more scoring a game? What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainview1981 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Didn't he lead the summer league team in scoring? And in case you hadn't noticed, he can get to the rim as good as anyone on the the team including Teague. Since when does summer league matter?

Admin Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I would continue to start DMC but I really think we will see good things from Thabo and due to injuries he's going to have a good number of starts this year. I believe he will shoot around 40% from 3 if he's healthy and that he will make a huge difference defensively to the team when he's on the floor. I'm very excited about him! But I'm excited to see how much DMC has grown this offseason with him focusing on ball handling and see where that's gotten him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AHF Posted October 29, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think we had a conversation about our daughters the last time I made that joke! I hear you. Let's drop the debate and watch the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETSET Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I was trying to let the thread die as me and AHF have both gave our opinion for maybe too long. I will answer hawkitus question. I would rather see DMC start and thabo play with the second unit. I have loved what I have seen from our second unit during the preseason. I only hope that thabo gets pretty close to carroll in mpg if my assumption that he is the better player ends up being correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Three identical players who are hapless on the offensive end. DMC is the best option offensively, but that's not saying much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted October 30, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Looked like the best out of three defensive wings tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted October 30, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Looked like the best out of three defensive wings tonight. Thabo looked better than DMC to you last night? I thought DMC was excellent on D and very efficient on offense. For it to end up 10 points for DMC and 12 for Toronto's 2013-14 leading scorer is a very nice push. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think Thabo looked very good last night but I know he's still learning the system. DMC pretty much locked down and I"m blaming that last free throw rebound on Korver but i could be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted October 30, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah, too early for any real decisions or assessments but I would take what we got last night from DMC every night if I could get it. Especially the results on the defensive end. Good game for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AHF Posted October 31, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I meant DMC Then no argument there! Thabo will play better in other games but game 1 wasn't close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted October 31, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Then no argument there! Thabo will play better in other games but game 1 wasn't close. Thabo was the least impressive in game 1 honestly. Bazemore had a couple of nice plays in the limited time he was in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainview1981 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 The problem is that none of our guards or SF's are giving anything in the rebounding department. They're all good shooters, and they all work hard on the defensive end... But it's kind of redundant. Just like the combo of Horf and Millsap. Carroll is a better player than Thabo and I don't think benching Carroll in favor of him would help the team. But I do think this team needs to search for some rebounding. Sap and Horf just aren't enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richesly Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 DMC isn't confident in his jumper. He hesitated too many times from the 3 wide open. But he should start. He played excellent D and was still efficient offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
