BMP 424 Report post Posted January 8, 2011 All jokes aside...do you guys think Earl has the potential to be our next Hedo..if not better? Maybe 2-3 years? Maybe Marvin Williams or a poor man's Jeff Green, but not Hedo. . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nyce_1 311 Report post Posted January 8, 2011 this is what SVG said about Earl is yesterday's post game presser: "I think Earl is going to be a really, REALLY(!!!) good player. I really do. I think that he's offensively very talented; he has great quickness; he can shoot the ball; he can put the ball on the floor. He is a very hard working guy; he's the first guy in here everyday; he comes in on every off day; every game he hasn't played in, if you go in the gym, afterwards, he's workingout after games (10 o'clock at night). Like I said before, his thing is just a learning thing. He really, really needs to learn more of what we're doing; he's working hard at that. When understands what we're doing team defense-wise, I think he can be an OUTSTANDING defender. He can really move his feet; he plays hard. I love what he brings to the table, I really do."http://www.nba.com/magic/video/2011/01/07/010711HOUPRESSmov-1516159/index.html (4:48 mark) Kinda surprised an organization would give up on a player this young, with that much potential. THANKS PHOENIX Earl's post game interview is in that link too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted January 8, 2011 Guy's got potential. Good handle and good shot ... Odom-ish. Can he learn to pass, rebound and play defense? Hopefully. Man if he could body-up the KGs and Duncans, that'd be fantastic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man if he could body-up the KGs and Duncans, that'd be fantastic. I think with more time and familiarity with his teammates, his passing and defense will be there. I don't see him bodying up Duncan, but I can see him defending Bron, Pierce, Bosh, and KG - type players. Man, i think we got a steal if we keep him. Getting him early this season, i think he'll be important in playoffs, off the bench. If we gave up our draft pick in order to get Earl, no brainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Bison Dele 5 Report post Posted January 8, 2011 "I don't wanna be anywhere else" Gotta love quotes like that. Obviously, he's impressed SVG with his work ethic and potential. I don't recall him ever heaping that much praise on Bass or Anderson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted January 8, 2011 ...as well as Bron No I don't think he can guard him one on one. James is just too fast, and also because I don't believe anyone can really guard him with any consistency. We have to play good team defense on James. But KG, I could see Earl playing against him if he can close out quickly and keep him out of the paint or force him baseline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
