Why Do I Get A Rash Between My

Jerryd Bayless in New Orleans? Interesting.

-
--- The transfer of Louisiana Jerryd Bayless against the first-round pick from New Orleans (which will become Blazer when the pick in question will be positioned beyond Top 7 in 2011 and the top 8 then) sounds like an admission of failure for both Port land for the young man. For two years now he's in the league, has still not confirmed Bayless hopes that followed him since high school and his only college season (19.7 pts / game, it has long occupied the top 5 predictions of the daft 2008). And the big c oup the franchise in Oregon had succeeded in making him donning the red jersey and black right after the draft now resonates in our ears like a damp squib.

--- So talented, fast and athletic as it is, the old "one and done player" of the prestigious college of Arizona obviously has its share of responsibility for this failure. When you look at the single player, we realize without difficulty that it is a shooting guard in a point guard's body. Attracted by the circle as a celebrity spotlight and cocaine, devoid of all qualities and playmaking unenlightened on the science of point guard position, it definitely seems to be doomed to be one of those players who really is no post.

--- However, I never thought that this profile would be a bastard weakness for the Blazers when he put his hand over it a few seconds after the Pacers have drafted. As I explained then , Brandon Roy also having a profile bastard almost plays as a point guard shooting guard, Bayless could have found a place beside him as a leader who plays as a shooting guard. To me, the particular profiles of the two rear fit together into one another like two puzzle pieces contiguous. Both have simply swapped the responsibilities of their positions while maintaining their respective positions that are more aligned with their physique. It did not happen.

--- Some explained that the failure of this association was the fact that Bayless needed the ball to express themselves and that it was the exclusive property of Roy. But I think this observation is qualified. The combo guard has perhaps need to touch the swelling but not necessarily more or less than most other scorers (Paul Pierce, Monta Ellis, Vince Carter, John Salmons ,...). Bayless has often played on the station 2 during its academic year in Arizona (his teammate, a classic point guard named Nic Wise played 30 minutes per game) and had shown he could be prolific without the ball on hand at the beginning of each possession that has a match.

--- In my opinion, we see the reason for this failure. Spontaneously, it is the rigidity of the game Nate McMillan that comes to mind. Caricaturing a bit, the game turned Portland widely and almost exclusively on the duo Brandon Roy / LaMarcus Aldridge only players of the rotation power to do what they want the ball. Most of the time, the rest must simply wait quietly behind the three-point line as the ball ends up in their hands for a shoot uncontested (hence the name Bruce Bowen-esque Nicolas Batum, a little reductive than what is known in France).

--- If Steve Blake, the leader of record of the reds and blacks before the arrival of Andre Miller last year, was particularly at ease in this secondary role when all we asked was to run the ball nicely and shoot when he was opened, it was not the case for Jerryd Bayless. The rear is a young scorer nitroglycerin, a wisp can put a defense to fire and sword and was an academic star considered one of the best prospects in the country even though he had not 20 years. How do you want to play this young band as Steve Blake? That's like asking the Inspector Harry handcuffed wrists villains in strict accordance with the law. In the plans are too rigid to McMillan, the former Wildcat and his talent had not overflowing their seats. Moreover, Andre Miller was able to bend the system B-Roy/Aldridge/Open Three Point so it can not penetrate, but it was the strength of its ten-year NBA and its 14 points, 7 assists for career average (and some whining going). And honestly, I'm not sure that this shift resists long.

--- Less than Bayless did not fit the plans of McMillan, does not it lead me to think that this is the true and flamboyant Bayless, free of barriers to his talent that were for himself how to play in Portland, we will see in Louisiana? It would be like if I said that McMillan had left st a rough diamond languish on the bench and turned a deaf ear to his talent. That the only obstacle to the success of the former prodigy was his coach at the time.

--- And why not. Do you know who is the current coach of the new team of young scorer? A Monty Williams, assistant coach McMillan in Portland last year. And I have good reason to believe that it knows better than anyone Bayless. At once deeply involved in the team Blazers as the first assistant head coach (he had assumed leadership of the team when the leg of McMillan was in the hospital) and its recognized qualities in terms of development of players (they say responsible for the evolution of students Travis Outlaw and Martell Webster and had effectively reframed Nicolas Batum last year when the French began forget to defend by force of threading baskets ), Williams rubbed the little Jerryd closely since his arrival in the league, has had his eyes daily and has certainly studied from every angle. If know somebody value Bayless is really him.

--- Do not you think that if Williams had come Bayless against the future first-round pick not too bad of a team that placed gasping for breath, that he is convinced that the young back is more than the poor seventeen minutes and a half he spent on average on the floor when he was under orders McMillan?

--- So, perhaps we should expect an explosion of early scoring machine this year. If so, it certainly will scratch the now spotless reputation (and deserved) the coach of the Blazers. As an apprentice goldsmith mufti who sees without a gemstone that his master had not able to recognize and slips it into his pocket, Monty Williams will perhaps have the Bayless flamboyant talent under his command that McMillan had neglected and reduced to the rank of tenure.

--- The coming of the Blazer and the prospect of its outbreak, however, raise a question: Will he blow up? The backcourt of NO is more or less done with course leader and CP3 on the ticket with him Marcus Thornton / Marco Belinelli (the Italian who made a pre-season of good size) on the post 2. Maybe not stay there so that crumbs for Bayless, however, I think he could wisely take the niche of dynamite scorer output bench that had been so successful Jannero Pargo to the Hornets and a few years ago ( best season of New Orleans Chris Paul era ). Taking over from Paul when he was ordered to blow on the bench or playing alongside him in second behind, and Pargo's game brought the Hornets firecracker walking down unpredictability that undid some of the certainties of the opposing defense born of the game a little too involved in the stereotyped style of play from Chris Paul that we know that the action necessarily leave him. Bayless has the game to resume this role and the talent to make a decisive character of Film Hornets then why not?

--- For now, we can not yet say if the back will return to its former glory or not. But if so, it probably will join Jermaine O'Neal in regret of the fans of Portland (Portland passage may have accumulated the largest collection of talent in the NBA over the last fifteen years) .
