Thanks for the article Phoenix. It will be interesting to see how the new guys do this summer, and if Castro can step up and play a productive role. Ferry has his hand picked players. Time to win and move up in the League coach. No excuses. In a way I'm sorry there is a Summer League since it seems to give a distorted few of what is really going on. Other than some one on one challenges that build from taking personnel pride in one's own play guys are just playing selfishly. I find it a bit funny that Ferry is calling for his guys to be unselfish in light of what we have seen. Dome, Levon, agreed on the sharing while winning but the losing streak brought out the worst in attempts to over achieve. The clanging hands are a factor and should have been a green light for more minutes of guys who were under utilized. But enough of last year!!! I agree with Ferry. I want to see these guys play the right way. After the last four years, I'm still from Missouri when it comes to him instilling that discipline. This forum is hosted for free by Boardhost.

Re: Ferry encouraged in summer
If you are referring to selfish play in the Summer League, I certainly agree; but I strongly dispute a contention that last year's team didn't share the ball. They obviously had some limitations, but really playing selfish ball was't one of them. Unfortunately, I can remember a lot of those unselfish passes clanged off the hands of the intended receivers resulting in turnovers. When the team was winning with regularity, they made some beautiful basketball plays, and had high assist ratio to baskets scored in many games. When the passes aren't caught, or the resulting shots are missed we tend to forget about the pass that set up the play.
