Davies

Discussion for professional sporting events/teams and players.

This would be a great place to discuss the Super Bowl, the NBA Playoffs or whatever else.

Davies

Post by Schmoe »

Brandon Davies started for the Sixers in their first preseason game last night. Didn't have a great game, but played 21 minutes in the starting role.

3 points on 1-3 shooting (1-1 from 3), 4 boards, 3 assists, but had 5 fouls and 4 TOs.

sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,

First regular-season game:

5-11 shooting for 12 points, 5 boards, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 turnover and the only bench player in the positive of the +/- in 18 minutes of play. Not bad for someone who, according to some, would never make a team.

Indeed. Actually a really good game for Davies. If he turns in numbers like that every night he's going to be pushing for starting minutes.

Another VERY good game for Davies vs Heat

http://www.nba.com/games/20141101/MIAPH ... tml?ls=slt" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

24 minutes, 18 points, 3boards, 3 steals, 3 turnovers

Also -1 in differential, which is one of the lowest on the team. Actually the 2nd unit as a whole killed the first team in differential. So either Miami starters are that good, or Phila starters stink. Maybe some of both.

Indeed, especially on 7-9 shooting. And yes, his -1 was the second best on the team, a real solid performance.

Almost makes you wish Jimmer were playing for an intentionally awful team.
