Austin Rivers Career High 15 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2012)

Do you remember watching those mixes of Austin Rivers while he was in high school? I do. I remember the sick crossovers, the sick pull-up J’s, all the cool stuff. Well, now he’s in the NBA, and guess what, he kinda sucks. That doesn’t mean he’ll suck forever, but as of right now he’s not…

Quincy Pondexter 16 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2012)

Quincy Pondexter is one of those guys, who is in the NBA, but no one really seems to know they exist. They just float in the aether of NBA scrub-dom, flitting this way and that, going from team to team, until they just silently fall out of the league after getting waived in training camp….

Al Jefferson 31 Points/15 Rebounds Full Highlights (12/5/2012)

“Big” Al Jefferson is a puzzle. He puts up excellent numbers and has a supremely refined offensive game, but can he contribute to a winning basketball team? Nope. The Jazz are merely average this year, although they are worlds better than the awful Timberpuppy teams that Jefferson headlined for a while. None of this is…

Marco Belinelli 23 Points Full Highlights (12/5/12)

You want to know how to tell if a team sucks or not? Just look at their lineups and minute distributions. A crappy team allocates minutes seemingly randomly, a team such as the Bulls. Marco “Italian Beef” Belinelli, so far this season, has barely received any minutes, despite the Bulls being wracked with injuries. So…

Klay Thompson 27 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2012)

Klay Thompson’s dad, Mychal, was an accomplished NBA player. But he only made one three-pointer during his entire career. His son Klay regularly makes more threes than that in a single quarter (including this game, where he splashes five treys in the third). Even Klay’s scrubby castoff brother Mychel Thompson made more threes than that…

Alexey Shved 17 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2012)

Sexy Alexey is a good role player. When he is finally reunited with fellow Euro Ricky Rubio, he will make the transformation from mere role player to Ultimate Beast of Unfathomable Balling Prowess. The rest of the NBA had better watch out, because when this happens, the amount of bristly European beards contained on the…

Greg Smith Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (12/4/12)

Greg Smith puts on his big boy pants and scores 21 points on the Lakers, including several clutch baskets and free throws, in the Rocket’s thrilling victory. Dwight Howard was no match for Smith’s superior athleticism and post moves. Speaking of Dwight, he could learn a thing or two from Smith’s prime free throw shooting.

Ben Gordon 29 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (12/3/2012)

Okay, so maybe Ben Gordon thrives in the “sixth man scorer off the bench” role. That makes sense given that he’s averaging 15 PPG without a single start. But it doesn’t explain why he was so bad in Detroit. Perhaps Rip Hamilton gobbled up too many minutes? In any case, Gordon does everything in his…

Corey Brewer 19 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (12/3/12)

After my last Installment “Bismack Biyombo” the series “Vaguely Disappointing NBA Players” continues with Corey Brewer. The 7th overall pick in 2007, Brewer has been okay, but you kind of want someone a little better with that pick, you know? I’m not trying to put him down or anything but the fact of the matter…

Kemba Walker 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/3/12)

High volume chuckers who are good on the college level don’t normally translate very well to the NBA. Kemba Walker is no exception, shooting an absolutely abysmal 36.6 percent from the field last year. But his percentages, like the Bobcats, are better this year (correlation does not imply causation, except when it does). He’s now…
