Moreland Case Study

The defense side of Lebron is crucial to every players game because good defense leads to even better of offense. James has the defense side by the steals he gets or can get, and what he is known for being a chase down

In ninth grade, he was a measly 4-9, and by time he transferred to Lake Forest, he was an underrecruited-for-his-age junior, though he grew to be a stockier 6-2. He decided to attend Rice University, where he set a school freshman record in assists and was named to the Conference USA all-freshman team.

Coming out of high school, the Moundsville, W.Va. native was a one of the state’s top basketball players. As a senior, he averaged 24.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 blocks per game.

Marcus Morris is coming into his first season with the Pistons after previously playing for the Phoenix Suns. This Detroit team is young and has played well together overall. So far in two games, Morris has averaged 16.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He’s also shot a solid 89 percent from the charity stripe and averages 36.5 minutes per contest. Morris is only owned in 34.9 percent of ESPN fantasy basketball leagues, so he is one player who I plan on picking up going forward. It already seems as if Marcus Morris has firmly planted himself within the starting five on this Pistons team, so he will be a great fantasy option going forward.

“He’s a great kid who works hard and has a great attitude,” said Calaveras head coach Rob Leetham. “He understands his role as an underclassman and leads our team in points.”

Terrell Miller is another threat that coach Matt McMahon can turn to. Miller isn't shy in the paint.

His field goal percentage is steadily increasing over the past three years that he spent in the league, yet he is not shooting a lot from outside, only having attempted around 1 three pointer each game, and 87% of his field goals attempted are two-pointers, and among those field goals he attempted, 50.2% of them are 0-3 feet away from the basket. It can be seen from his highlights and stats, that he finishes most of his possessions inside the paint or from mid-range. But if he wants to avoid injuries, in order to spend a preferably longer time in the league, and to have a more all-around game, a consistent long-range shooting ability is what he needs the most. In addition to working on his shooting skills, it would also help him join the all-star club much faster if he could learn to create his own shots. Throughout the past three seasons, 50 % of the field goals and 76% of the three pointers that he attempted were assisted by other teammates, so that means he was always on the receiving end of a pass while cutting, running down the court or running to an open spot. What he needs is to able to create shots for himself during an iso play, like Joe Johnson or James Harden. This skill would prove useful in a lot of occasions during crunch times or when his teammates are kept off

A First Team honoree in both his freshman and sophomore seasons, Kirkendoll finished second in the conference in scoring (18.0 points per game) and fourth in rebounding (7.1 rebounds per game). He also leads the conference and is 71st in the nation with 2.08 steals per game. He finished the season with four double-doubles.

His career highs so far are with the Timberwolves. He played in 57 games, his field goal (2-point shots) percentage is at .421, his 3-point percentage is at .304, his free throw percentage is at .641, and he has his high in rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks also. The only record he has broke since then was his free throw percentage that changed to .900 with the Raptors. In his whole career so far he has played in 151 games, has 472 rebounds, given 77 assists, has 58 steals, has 27 blocks, and 658 points. He has only played in four seasons, so this is impressive. Although he hasn’t won any championships, he has great achievements and who knows how his future will

There has been numerous articles on this one question. On the internet site, Hot Hot Hoops, it says, “He gets a good balance of points, rebounds, assists, and at times

Two years later, the Golden State Warriors dropped him and the New York Knicks eventually picked up Jeremy Lin after he transferred from the Houston Rockets on December 27 of 2011. February 4, two years ago was Jeremy Lin’s game changing match against the New Jersey Nets, as three starter players were unable to perform due to injuries and a family emergency. Jeremy Lin ended up scoring twenty-five points and had seven assists that game. What further fueled his hype was that he became the only starter player in the history of the National Basketball Association to score over twenty points in his first five starter games and score a career high of thirty-eight points over the legendary Laker Kobe Bryant. Linsanity had swept across the world and in an interview with Kobe Bryant, he states that “Players playing that well don't usually come out of nowhere. It seems like they come out of nowhere, but if you can go back and take a look, his skill level was probably there from the beginning. It probably just went unnoticed.” Jeremy Lin is not just a sudden sensational basketball

And he has helped to revolutionize the power forward position - even as new power forwards continue to do so today. The competitive old vet will probably always be around basketball, even though he could easily retire with his $315 million.

When Anthony Davis has been healthy, he has given fans a vision from the past when legendary centers were the conquering giants of the NBA. Davis’s point totals per game have increased every season, finishing fourth in points per game behind three electric backcourt players.

Porzingis and Towns have plenty of company among versatile bigs in their rookie class. Myles Turner, the No. 11 pick in 2015, and Trey Lyles, the No. 12 pick, have both flashed floor-stretching potential as starters and reserves alike, despite only recently turning 20. Frank Kaminsky, the ninth pick, and Bobby Portis, the 22nd pick, brought more collegiate experience to bear when shooting from range and putting the ball on the
