A little imagination: Picture Noah as healthy.
Look at some Noah video from last year. The good stuff. Where he grabs a rebound, turns and leads a fast break. This guy can play when healthy!!!
So what if he is healthy? Ever read about players who have problems, then do things differently? Train differently? Eat differently?
Now, I can't say he is, will be, or will return. The current trend the last two seasons is not a good indicator.
But the funny thing is fans love to extrapolate the present into the future. Its easy to do. Win, we expect it going forward. Lose, the problems are only fixed when we replace the personal involved. A player, a coach and the "Change" is confused with "improvement".
So easy to say "We need to.......", but the hard thing is to actually replace a piece with a better one!!!
After a miserable preseason, it was exected we'd lose big time. Then after three games it changed. Knicks played better!!!
No change, just chemistry and it gel'd!!! Who'd a thunk???
So lets sit back and see what happens with Noah. Why mope and be all sad over things we don't know will be?
He plays good "yeah, but can it last?", or "Yeah, but then he'll get hurt", or yeah, but look at his contract!!!
We all prayed to the gods for a draft where we get a star. "GodZingus" has descended from the heavens! We all prayed for this, and after his diva act we didn't see this coming. We hoped for it. Our prayers answered. Nothing happens over night!!! Not even the Unicorn!!
Frank was soft, injured this summer and DSJr summerleague dunks were all the rage. Funny, go back and google "Clyde" 1968 rookie season article from last summer. If anyone looks like Clyde is Frank. Long arms, smooth delivery, and rookie mistakes. Clyde was not clyde out of the box. ANd he was 22 as a rookie!!!
Clyde was never had quick feet but was all league defensive player.
Imagine Frank if a few years. He could be special. I don't know how high his ceiling is.
Willy might have a lost season. it happens. Maybe our young Spaniard had a nice fun summer and thought rest and playing in the Eurochampionship was enough.
Maybe KOQ just kicking his arse. Maybe it got to willy's head. We have him under contract for a few more years, imagine he will have to step it up. Last year he was given a good opportunity and he did well with it on an awful team. This year he has competition.
Imagine Melo gone, no big starphuch names in return but the saplings get sunlight when the big tree is gone and they grow.
Our yoots are nice. Enjoy the process and the growth. Use your imagination not your expectation.
