I was thinking he'd be an Iverson-type player in the right situation.

They are playing him as a facilitator rather than a scorer. He is driving first trying to set up his 3 shot. In the past he was always better hitting a couple 3’s first and then driving off of a tighter mark.

AD has had two games with 0-for. Not what you would expect from a sharp shooter.

Circumstances could not have been worse for AD. Why sign with a team that offers a difficult path? There are so many teams in need of a shooting guard but Portland is not one of them. Totally frustrating outcome.

I was thinking he'd be an Iverson-type player in the right situation. Did you really think he'd end up a top-50 player in NBA history? AD certainly has the skills to be in the NBA in the right circumstance, but not Iverson. The issue is that the right circumstance is hard to find... which is why RP3 (as mentioned prior) didn't get a sniff even though he had much a much better PG skillset. No knock on AD... but he was fighting an uphill battle trying to be a 6'0" SG in the NBA. He's a great Titan, but it takes an incredible talent (like a Dajuan Wagner) to get over that hurdle. AD will have a career playing basketball regardless... which is much more fun than most of our jobs. 😁

No, I don't think AD will end up being Iverson, I was just trying to say he is kind of like Iverson size-wise, so that might be a path for him to find a team.

Antoine makes Portland training camp. Out of 21 players at camp 11 are guards!

It's amazing how many big (tall) kids there are, this one group has 7 6-9 or taller

Antoine waived by Portland. That was a bad roster situation for him, both in the Summer League and in training camp. Playing in the G League won't be a bad thing for him. Looks like I might have to pick up a Rip City Remix t-shirt if he spends the season there.
