Damion James will go to the Nets in a trade, league source says.
Scott called him "Poindexter"
Agree ... great pick unless you can unload RJ ...The lack of meltdown is fun.
While I wanted a 3, I really understand this pick quite a bit. With Mason and possibly Bonner gone, Spurs seriously needed outside shooting, and there's not much on the market at LLE level. So, they get one of the better SG shooters in the draft. Good stuff.
NBA Comparison: Nick Anderson/Daequan Cook
Strengths: Prolific scoring swingman in a wiry 6-6 frame ... Highly efficient offensive game (46% FG for his college career) ... Lights out shooter with textbook form and high release ... Possesses boundless range with no deterioration in accuracy from distance (38.4%) ... Has no conscious, even in the face of repeated misses ... Extremely effective in catch-and-shoot situations, with his feet set and ready to fire ... Always squares his body to the rim with great balance and elevation on his jumper. Shoots well off the dribble when driving to his left ... Likes to take a jump stop just inside the paint for a little right-handed floater. Uses his vertical to quickly elevate over defenders inside. Has the ability to hang and adjust his shot mid-leap ... He's increased his aggression taking the ball to the basket ... Attempted 3.2 FT as a freshman, 4.7 as a sop re and 7.2 through ten game as a junior (86%) ... Not afraid to take smaller defenders into the post ... Boasts an incredible wingspan ... Provides an incredible boost on the boards where he hits the offensive glass hard (5 rpg, 2 offensive) ... Has the skill set of a lockdown defender with his lateral quickness, length and dedication to the defensive side of the ball ... Was asked to take on an enhanced leadership role by coach Ford, and has responded commendably.
Weaknesses: Lack of ball handling skills really constricts his game ... He is not comfortable creating offense for himself or teammates ... Appears hesitant with the ball in his hands with a lack of ingenuity ... Despite his athletic gifts, does not look "smooth" when forced to make a basketball move ... Drives to the basket are predominantly to his left ... Unable to change directions with the rock ... Dribbles with his head down ... Turnovers (2 per game for his career) and offensive fouls have been a problem ... Not a particularly adept passer (1.3 ast per game) ... His basketball IQ needs work ... He's a natural shooter, but not a natural basketball player ... Could certainly stand to add some bulk, which would aid his ball handling woes ... Knocked off balance too easily on drives ... Despite improved aggression, still spends too much time floating around the perimeter, especially in crunch time. Needs to augment his mid-range game.
Notes: Has some oddball statistical games early in the 2009-2010 season, with a 15 rebound game vs. Seattle and a 5 block game vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Was selected to the USA team at the World University Games where he averaged 7 pts and 2 rebounds in 12 minutes per game.

Is Pondexter still on the board?
He is going to play rings around Anderson. Mark my words. This will be seen as a missed opportunity. Hopefully Splitter will keep us from caring.
could spurs still target Nemanja Bjelica with their 49th? or is he gone by then?
dont blame barnes blame that ballhog as jordan hamilton
Are you his boyfriend or something?
Jerome Jordan please!
Calm down, homer.
On the nbadraft.net website, they give Anderson a 9 out of 10 defensively. Are they wrong, or is James a very capable defender?
If Bilas had Anderson as his 10th best player in the whole draft, why did he drop so far?

Nets struck a deal to get the Hawks pick at No. 24, and grab Texas forward Damion James. Hawks get Nets' picks at 27 and 31, source says.
I suspect that's more on defensive potential rather than current ability and, as always, defer to DX on such matters.
Jones is a nice addition for the Grizzlies young core.

I watched every game and while I will never deny Jordan Hamilton is a ballhog, I figure Jordan Hamilton is yet another reason Barnes sucks.
You can't run an offense through Damion James, he is Robin not Superman.
And if you're going to completely lose the respect of your team and your players keep doing what you tell them NOT to do, then, yes, I blame Barnes.
.
If Anderson can catch on quickly to the Spurs system, and show solid skills defensively, I wonder if they'd start him with Parker and then let Manu and Hill come off the bench together.
Seems like a good deal for Atlanta.
Mark my ing words, I've watched every college game he's ever played.... the man cannot dribble, cannot score unless its off his offensive rebounds, does not have the lateral quickness to defend SG's or the lankiness to defend SF's.
He's basically a tinier Blair.
Would have been a horrible fit for us.
