He shook Rondo out of his shoes.
Nando De Colo is playing for France against the US in an exhibition on ESPN. He just knocked down a 3. I havent seen much of him so its nice that hes on national tv
He shook Rondo out of his shoes.
Rondo killed him in the 1st half. Blew by him each time they faced each other. He's starting the 2nd half on the bench.
He's still a couple of years away from being able to contribute at the NBA level.
He should keep working and continue to grow his game on the defensive end. The Spurs will give him a shot if he can improve defensively.
Dude has great ball handling skills, can pop a pull up 3, make the pass, finish at the bucket. I am very excited about de Colo. I hope there is no bull when it's time to bring him over. I think his most recent contract is for 2 years.
this guy will never see an nba floor
Yes, but out there in the ether somewhere, he will always be throwing ally-oops to Ian Mahinmi in Spurs' draft pick heaven (as Chris Carawell cheers them from the bench).
Nando clearly showed his lack of athleticism to play in the NBA.
OTOH, I've liked a lot Bokolo in this game.
De Colo definitely showed he could handle the ball and has good point guard skills but his questionable defense and overall lack of athleticism was pretty obvious.
There's no question; he can't play defense.
Hes definitely not used to guarding guys with the speed or quickness of Rondo. We wont see him for a couple more years if ever.
If guys like Steve Blake can carve a niche in the NBA there is hope for Nando. Now, that is usually the exception and not the norm, so he seems to have an up hill battle.
He has Sergei Karaulov level quickness.
how did Mickael GELABALE look in the game?
Mahinmi also played and, as usual, sucked donkey balls.
I think it is clear the Spurs coaches and FO were right all along to keep him on the bench most of last season. He has incredible physical ability but just has no feel for the game whatsoever.
This should be a lesson to all the haters on Pop and the FO about why they don't play certain players. Pop and RC know what they're doing 99.5% of the time.
The .5% was Louis Scola..lol
But I agree Ian sucked and so did Hairston so I am glad both moved on while their careers are young and can make some money in Europe.
De Colo will never be a spur, he can't guard anybody, everybody is blowing right pass him whenever they want. I think he probably wouldn't being playing if Beaubois and Parker were available. He has some offense but he has no defense, Pop will keep him in a suit all season, waste of money if we bring him over.
I'm sorry but he didn't look good at all. I don't think he's ever gonna be in the NBA.
He Looked ty..... Rondo Was Killing him..... Imma just say it now.... I think De colo May Be A bad Pick by the Spurs...
Dude, he was the 53rd pick...there's no such thing as a bad 53rd pick.
Who in the world can match up Rondo anyways?
I don't expect him to make it to the NBA. Too slow and too bad on D. We have 3-4 PGs (or rather players that can play PG) ahead of him already so it's not a problem.
