Larry Sanders's Hidden Potential

[no pun intended]

http://i.imgur.com/nftqz.png

He is currently averaging 8.1 PPG, 6.9 RPG (2.1 ORPG), and 2.1 BPG on 22.3 MPG.

What impresses me most is that he also averages 4.8 FPG with these statistics alone, which obviously limits his minutes and full potential. If Sanders is able to limit his fouls, he can potentially play over 30 MPG and easily average Ibaka-esque stats.

Thoughts?

[Doctor Rivers]

Top 10 player no doubt

[DStebb716]

I've always thought this kid needed more time on the court. You just have to find a way to fix the fouls and he should be able to average Kris Humphries numbers.

But his impact would be 20x that of Humphries because he is a good defender.

[zac]

I've always liked him and ought he had huge potential but never plays a ton. I never paid attention to his fouls though.

[HylianNightmare]

always liked him, never knew that foul trouble was such an issue for him though, holy shit

[pauk]

GOAT Foul game

[IGotACoolStory]

Manfoul.

[no pun intended]

His game tonight is what I'm talking about :applause:

Larry is an interesting guy...

= Maturity ..
I have been seeing him become a better person as well as a better player.
Hidden stat's as they are , he loves people , great in the community , and last summer worked on all things (dialing down) his game.

Skiles said in an interview once during the summer , that if Larry continues to SLOW his game down , he would be an animal in the league.

Last night showed some of that dialed down , 'let the game come to you' work ethic

Triple double , pts, rebounds and BLOCKS !!!!!

When he is interviewed I see alot of a young Dennis rodman.

IMO he should be starting at the 5.

If you watch a Bucks game , and key on him , just think of what Skiles said.

[Im so nba'd out]

Dennis Rodman like game just hope they him thrive on defense thats all he should worry about now he will get his o from the glass and it looks like he is perfectly fine with that and his spacing on the floor is great.

[T-Time3]

like the kid, but indeed he needs to play some more

[Babalu]

there are two things holding larry sanders back.

#2 = his fouls. he needs to get them under control.

#1 = his coach skiles. dude is ****ing stupid giving dalembert/pryzbilla/udoh so many minutes. skiles gives dalembert all the minutes then sits his ass the next game. skiles is a ****ing joke around fantasy league forums.

Yeah. But the NBA is no fantasy and Skiles is not playing for Yahoo awards.

Skiles has a team full of roleplayers and a bunch of chuckers in Jennings Ellis and Harris. And if you'd actually watch a game or two you'd understand why Udoh gets minutes. He's their best interior and help defender and most steady player, unlike Sanders who just had another streak of clueless games.

beast:banana:

[Whoah10115]

I'd go after him if I was Miami...don't know what they could give but still.

[swi7ch]

Wade for Sanders pls

[Levity]

18 pts (7-11 shooting) 16 rebounds and 5 blocks in a win against the celts tonight while playing 32 minutes and only committing 2 fouls. I hear by dub him, the beast from the east.

pick him up in fantasy is anyone was fickle enough to drop him during his cold streak.

[tin man]

[Levity]

Sanders 3rd game in a row with at least 5 blocks. with 6 minutes left in the 4th, sanders has 7 blocks, 6 points, 6 boards with only 1 foul in 20 minutes and counting.

[DuMa]

what kind of a party is it?

[DMV2]

Larry "the Stat Stuffer" Sanders

His numbers aren't pretty but they're effective! :bowdown:

[1987_Lakers]

Just added him and dropped Favors. Need some shot blocking.

[Patrick Chewing]

I'd go after him if I was Miami...don't know what they could give but still.


They have a similar player already: Joel Anthony




(defensively that is)

Picked him up after the 10 block game, haven't regretted it. Beastly!

[fsvr54]

I said it a few weeks ago, he is already the best shotblocker in the league.

[Graviton]

This guy could make Miami/OKC a legit dynasty.

[TylerOO]

5 blocks entering 4th. He is awesome!

[SCdac]

blocks in the last 5 games:

5 - tonight
6 - vs. phoenix
4 - vs. indiana
4 - vs. houston
4 - vs. san antonio

23 blocks

to put that in some perspective... for the season:

Horford = 29 blocks
Griffin = 21 blocks
Randolph - 18 blocks
Love = 9 blocks
Bargnani = 15 blocks
Boozer = 16 blocks
Varajeo = 14 blocks
Lee = 7 blocks

definitely a block party :applause:

[TylerOO]

He had 7 tonight. Swatted a couple late in the 4th

[Graviton]

Toronto 1st, Dallas 1st, Lamb, Hasheem the Dream for Sanders!

Get it done Presti!

okc can add collison if needed

[gigantes]

whenever people tell me that jewish people can't be talented big men in the NBA, i like to laugh and make them feel foolish by educating them on #8.

you made it, larry... you made it!! :rockon:

[The Big Skinny]

He was a beast in college. I knew he would break out. He is very raw but has the ability to become something.

playing 30 MPG, I don't see him averaging 15 pts 12 rebs 4 blks as a stretch.
