Here are some Austin Daye highlights from Baltimore

These are from a week ago, but we received a YouTube clip this morning of Austin Daye highlights from his 23-point performance for the Goodman League all-stars (Durant, Daye, etc.) against the Melo League stars (made up of Carmelo, LeBron, etc). Daye's team lost a defensive battle, 149-141:

Dan Feldman at PistonPowered was there and relayed his observations on Daye's overall performance:

He played relatively straightforwardly when everyone else was going for flash. That’s a big reason he scored 23 points, fourth-most in the game behind Durant, LeBron James (32) and Carmelo Anthony (27). I’m not sure Daye’s scoring showed anything about his NBA ability, though.

 But Daye’s defense impressed me. He blocked a few shots and challenged a few more. Sure, Gary Neal made a few 3-pointers over him, and LeBron dunked on him. But that was a product of being there. Most defenders never got close enough to be embarrassed. Throughout the contest, I said Daye was the the Defensive Player of the Game.

Livin' the lockout dream.

I love the lockout. Daye gets better, Rip’s contract gets closer to its expiration date…

They didn't show the free-throw at the end

Should I assume he made it?

When the lockout ends three things are clear

  1. Austin Daye will finish in the top five in scoring.
  2. Greg Monroe and Jonas Jerebko appear on the cover of “Paint Dominance” magazine
  3. Larry Frank wins coach of the year

Is it just me

Or does it seem that he’s grown a bit since he came into the league? He was always tall for his position, but he’s just towering over the other guys

Without a doubt, squats are a cure for everything.

Well...

When you’re playing a game that nobody is taking seriously, it’s no shocker Daye can do what he’s supposed to do in a real NBA game, against real opponents. I wish I didn’t watch this crap.

You could record your own farts with that thing.

And they would sound good. Pretty sure that gentle rust actually adds “awesome” to your sound.

Am I the only who's happy that he's working on the

Dirk-off-one-foot move? Pretty sure that’s a lethal shot from a 7 footer. For future reference, I shall call this, “the Dirk-off.” It’s been a long summer.

On topic-ish, I’ve never understood the unwritten rule that defense has no place in these sorts of games. Do the players just not care? Do they think the fans will be more entertained by all offense, no defense?

Even back in my playing days, it just didn’t feel right to not play defense, exhibition or not. I don’t mean to sound all moralist or anything; it just didn’t feel like basketball if I was only playing half the game.

I guess for that reason, I don’t really enjoy exhibitions… just doesn’t feel like real ball (and thus also means that conclusions cannot really be drawn from it).

An Easy Answer
Defense is hard and takes work.
Who’d want to try that?
