      How you know DD is there? I see Daye in the red shorts. Nice to see these guys our going out thier pockets to get better. Hakeem isn't cheap!
      Hakeem has a group rate

      Wonder if the Raps pay for it (the CBA would have to sanction it probably).

        Do you think its worth the effort for such a skinny guy to brush up on post moves with Hakeem? Bulk is needed to hold that position I have learned from experience.
        I recall when Daye was drafted by the Pistons they thought he'd be a Prince clone...and Prince was a good post up player. Obviously you dont want to take on a much heavier player in the post...but then good deceptive footwork can be the equalizer in those situations.

        • With Daye being as lean as he is, how is his speed? Does he have hops? like a Jamario Moon type?

            No, he's a lanky finesse type player, long arms, a jump shot, and not much d.

              His actually a good shot blocker. His not that athletic but extremely fluid for a 6-11 player.

                AD averaged 0.4 blocks per game last year, 0.5 for Daye's career. Kyle Lowry averaged the same 0.4 bpg last year.

                  Rudy and DeMar are working with Hakeem as well

                  http://instagram.com/husky4lyfe22# Rudy posted a vid nice to see Rudy, DeMar and Austin learning from a legend.

                    I don't know why people don't look at minutes when they come up with this stuff. Daye's average, btw, was .5 last year (not .4), but that's in 10 minutes average vs Kyle's 30. Daye's per 36 average was 1.5. Considering the sparse, and very inconsistent, minutes, that's not bad.

                      0.4 bpg in 2012-13 ESPN- http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3976/austin-daye

                      0.4 bpg in 2012-13 at nba.com- http://www.nba.com/playerfile/austin....html?nav=page

                      Daye is more likely to play 10 mpg than 36 mpg this year.

                        If your read the Holinger report he says his a decent shot blocker and in the passing lanes.

                        Here what he says about his D:

                        The "good" news is he was only the second worst in rebound rate. Actually, the rest of his defense wasn't bad -- he ranked in the top 15 of power forwards in both blocks and steals per minute, and saw fewer overwhelming strength matchups given the increasing prevalence of small ball around the league. Unfortunately, his offense made him completely unplayable, and unless his shot recovers his career is in jeopardy.

                          Looks like basketballreference.com has a problem with their blocks per game calculation. Makes a a guy wonder where else their numbers might be wrong.

                          Anyway, regarding the bolded part, I thought you were responding to statement about blocking ability, not minutes. Remember that?

                            Let's go back further to my original argument that Austin Daye is not the type of player that has built his reputation on his defense.

                              If it makes you feel better, you are correct about that, but that doesn't make the block per game comparison of Daye and Lowry any more relevant.

                                OK, you win.
