The Dontonio Wingcast Episode 013

It's that time again: Basketball Prospectus's Kevin Pelton and I are back with another episode of The Dontonio Wingcast.  Here's how the slightly-shortened episode (34 minutes) breaks down...

  • In Segment 1, we announce a contest giving away a free copy of Pro Basketball Prospectus 2009-2010. You should enter!
  • In Segment 2, we look at the recent road trip, the Travis Outlaw injury, the Blazers' small lineup and the Blazers' matchup zone. 
  • In Segment 3, we discuss Brandon Jennings, tracking high school point guards and we very briefly debate Clyde Drexler vs.Gary Payton.

Music selections:

Cormega - Rap's a Hustle
Kanye West - Through The Wire

I'm about to listen to this and walk my dog

You guys should take questions. You might need to know them ahead of the time if it takes research, but I think it would be cool. Like who is the best left handed NBA player ever, and what was his sign?

I don't need the book, but just for fun

“The All-Internationals that are better than you think and should watch”:

PG Rodrigue Beaubois (DAL, France) – exciting to watch albatross, has replaced JJ Barea as Mavs fans favorite small guy. Better true shooting percentage stat than Steve Nash (and better PER, in limited minutes of course)
SG Thabo Sefolosha (OKC, Switzerland/South Africa) – not much of an offensive player, but vital for a lineup that feat. poor defender Kevin Durant. Has really become a viable starter.
SF Jonas Jerebko (DET, Sweden) – pre-draft workout for the Blazers not that impressive, now suddenly a starter as the replacement of Tayshaun Prince, maybe this year’s Batum? (Omri Casspi, SAC, Israel, would be another candidate, but he is more obvious)
PF Ersan Ilyasova (MIL, Turkey) – the European Rashard Lewis. Seriously. He is about to push Warrick and LRMAM out of the lineup.
C Marc Gasol (Mem, Spain) – BALLIN! My favorite late fantasy pickup besides Jennings this year. Regularly cracks the top 5 of centers in PER on many nights. With his lost weight is rivaling his brother in ability now, at a fraction of the price.

I sat next to Jerebko's uncle at Summer League one night

Talk about gushing on a relative! If I didn’t know better, I’d think that Jerebko was Karl Malone, Elgin Baylor, Larry Bird and Tim Duncan all rolled into one…..

Kevin Pelton All-Stars

C Kyrylo Fesenko: He looks exactly like a stereotypical bully. He probably still steals lunch money from children. You can tell what team he plays for just by looking at him.

PF Ersan Ilyasova : I guess he can’t be THAT under the radar since Norsk already mentioned him, but he seems really interesting to me. Already played in the NBA once and then left for Europe and then came back. Scott Skiles is impressed with his defense and I think that says something right there.

SG Nick Young: Ridiculously selfish, but he has funny hair. I’m pretty sure he and Von Wafer are the same player.

PG Royal Ivey: He’s been in the league a while, but I still don’t think he gets talked about enough. Great defender, coolest name ever. “I’m the garbage man. I do the dirty work. It doesn’t look pretty, but I get the job done.”-Ivey

SF Luc Richard Mbah a Moute: Already one of the best defenders in the league. Second coolest name ever.

Jennings

17 in the league, 19 in international games vs. 12 for Jerryd. And the games are only 40 minutes, so his percentage playing time is even higher.

Jerryd logged 655, Jennings 772

Are we discussing if Bayless had the same chance as Jennings to improve in one year out of high school/college with the pros?

I'm not sure

I was told that Jennings didn’t play hardly at all in Europe and somehow got better this year. The Sergio supporters always said he needed more playing time to get better and when he got it, we discovered he wasn’t as good as we though. If I cared enough, I’d do some research to see how many guys didn’t play much their rookie year then turned out to be better the next year.
