Old guy Posted July 6 Let's hope what he is doing is enough to bring interest upon himself for a permanent position. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billiken_roy Posted July 6 Bess showed he is willing and able to rebound and defend which gives him a chance. Now he needs to make some shots. My guess the pelicans will only keep 1 or 2 rookie free agents. So hes in quite the battle. Different subject how about that Robinson guy for the Knicks? Wow.

Wow. 0-5 overall and 0-3 from 3 land ain't gonna cut it I fear. But he'll work on it and get it going. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BJK Posted July 6 He needs to improve offensively no doubt... and quickly to make the roster. That said, the coach kept going to him. First guy off the bench and at the end of the third quarter they put him in with 12 seconds to go specifically to stop the Knicks best player from driving the lane... and he did. His value is defense at 6’6”. I predict he sticks. They like him. 5 brianstl, billiken_roy, GoSluBills and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crymdg2 Posted July 6 Other thing I think that was notable was that they came to an agreement almost instantaneously as soon as the draft was over. They had him on their radar and was definitely not a fill the roster out kind of guy. 1 almaman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robinson was signed by Rick Stansbury at WKU but never played there. He sat out his one year of college and then was drafted. He was a top 5 guy in his recruiting class. He played very well for the Knicks last years and was one of the surprises of the rookie class. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HoosierPal Posted July 7 15 hours ago, Billnation08 said: He spent time at the 4 last night too I noticed. Is he big enough for that position? Summer league teams don't necessarily balance their roster for equal numbers of C/F/G. So you do get what looks like mismatches on the floor. It's not the box score that teams are looking at in summer league. It's the details of how the players perform. For Bess to be asked to guard an NBA 4 slot can only be a positive for Javon. If it works, it's a huge plus. If he doesn't, well it didn't hurt to try. I follow my home town Pacers. They started an undersized PF in the pivot last night. 1 tarheelbilliken reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
