Joe Alexander?

This kid was a really good player in college, and he just hit a lot of injuries, and hasnt played yet this season, and he will be a free agent over the summer, so he will probably be overlooked by all the big free agents. Should we try to pick him up? He has a ton of potential. He's a sophomore btw and currently with the Bucks. I've really liked this kid and always had big expectations and high hopes for him, and I think in the right system he can be really good. What do you think?

He was good at WV but since then I've heard nothing about him.

as i said... injuries. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/p ... yerId=3411

he played 59 games last year, got 5 ppg 1 apg and 2 rpg.. in 12 minutes. pretty good. plus that was only his rookie year! and he is VERY athletic

right now, this is not Lakers Discussion....


this would fit better into the Trade and Signing Ideas section

aw.. ok

No....just no! For many reasons, the most pertinent of which is that he's a young tweener, with limited skills. Who do you trade for him? Trading Morrison would actually be a downgrade in my opinion, since Adam possesses a specialty, where as Alexander is still trying to find his way in the league. There's no way I would want this guy on the Lakers.

Adams Morrisons only speciality is racking up DNP-Coaches Descion.

When you've got Ron Artest, Lamar Odom, and Luke Walton playing ahead of you on the depth chart, I don't see how a DNP would be a bad thing. His specialty is that he can shoot the 3 ball with efficiency, in the right situation. What's Joe Alexander's specialty? (That's a rhetorical question).

Alexander is a very good athlete, but from what I gather from the few times I've watched him, as well as the opinion of Bucks fans, the guy has very little in the way of a competent IQ when it comes to understanding the game of basketball.

how can trading Ammo be a downgrade? Never seen Alexander play but please Ammo has no specialty, he BRICKS as many open shots as Sasha. We been pretty lucky with other's "trash" i.e. Brown/Ariza, dont see what it would hurt to take a chance on this guy.
