DLeague Scoring Champ

Whey Krysko the U of Utah coach was a DLeague coach he had a great quote: "When you get the call to the NBA, you have to realize that the team you are going to is not going to run a play for you. You have to play defense, set screens, do the dirty work and if you do get a wide open shot in the team's offense you have to knock it down. If you don't do those things you will be back here."

Great quote. Krysko for coach of the Jazz?

Because teams are looking for role players, not people who have to be lead players to contribute.

If I'm a GM, I'm looking for the dude who can shoot lights out from deep, can play defense, doesn't need the ball, is athletic, etc. At the bottom of my list is the ability to score off the dribble and it would turn me off if that is the main part of a player's game.

I agree. The D-League is known as a "selfish" league, in the sense that nobody is playing for the good of the team...everyone wants to "get theirs" to increase their chances of being noticed by NBA teams. The highest scoring players in this league usually don't do well in the NBA because they can't do anything else other than take a **** ton of bad shots against crappy players. Players that do other things besides scoring have a better chance at making in the NBA.

If you take the Krysko quote, the guy has to know he can't go up and just start chucking that he's going to have to play D, move the ball and set screens. When he does get the open shot he has to knock it down to be of help and being a big scorer in the DLeague should help that player's chances of doing exactly that.

Morris Almond has signed with Red Star Belgrade in Serbia. He played only 38 NBA games total. What a bust and I was excited when the Jazz first drafted him thinking he was just what they needed. Good thing I'm not a scout.
