Rest of warriors are so non team oriented English will have trouble showing his talent with this group. He needs to be a hog and just shoot and that is not how he likes to play.

Laury getting some nice time and more than holding his own.

English not getting any minutes, signed with the wrong team.

English not getting any minutes, signed with the wrong team. Two things: 1. He was passive, didnt earn it. 2. Its the first game, these teams often change up rotations throughout.

Teams want to get a look at many guys, and they have about a half dozen games to do so. AJ might not have been 'scheduled' for many minutes, last night, but might get more on Monday. In fairness to all the players, the first game just gives them a chance to adjust to the speed of the game. And it's also possible that AJ hasn't shown well in the practice sessions or even twisted an ankle during last night's game. As for Guy's correct observation about the announcers not mentioning Iona when Dave and AJ were on the court together, it shows why it's harder for guys coming from small schools have a tough time making a name for themselves.

It's not Iona, but did anyone watch the first (Phi-LA) game, last night. Simmons put on a passing show that can only be described as fantastic. He's going to be a great NBA player/ And the ending was super, also.

He looked a little lost in the few minutes he had. He wasn't the only one. Probably not scheduled for much time. AJ will be fine. I suggest everyone watch Monday, I am sure he will be more aggressive. It's his nature.

I think the key will be to make a 3 early in his minutes. He got stuffed on drives twice. Not good.

The kid Sykes Wilkes whatever his name was hadn't met a shot he doesn't like. And he was the PG.

Aj has been a better second half player his whole career. He likes to feel things out and get his teammates going first. Having just 7 or so minutes in the first half hurt him and yes that point guard kills a team concept.

I don't know if Sykes wasn't sharing ball but AJ looked lost(kinda like a night on the town). Unfortunately whatever it was disappointing because you gotta bring it on this stage. Missed opportunities. Hopefully he can shine in the next game.

AJ still too passive. Laury quieter too.
