Sterling - 26 minutes per game

Postby Tbuck12 » Thu Mar 20, 2014 11:37 am

He played 30 minutes last night and has averaged 26 min per game over last 6 contests.

He has earned these minutes, but I didn´t realize just how many minutes he has been getting.

Noticed last night on ESPN that someone finally made the reference as brother of New York Knick's Shannon Brown.

Sterling defends and doesn't make mistakes - two things LB wants out of every player.

I think that Larry plays those who do the job in practice and do the right things in the game. It may say a lot about his subbing patterns.

He is the ultimate "glue" player for us. I really like him, brings great energy. If he can consistently hit that open jump shot (3 pter!) we're in business. Would be great to be a 10 pt / 4 asst / 4 rebound / 1-2 steals type guy.

Sterling is easily overlooked because he's not flashy; just a solid player who I expect will be much more noticeable next year coming back after a full year's experience.

Quiet production. May never fill up the stat sheet but a guy you want in there.

If he can become a better shooter/scorer in the offseason, he could be a real asset next year. Not that he hasn't played very well this year....he has

Sterling is actually one of our better perimeter shooters; he hits 42% from 3 pt range but could definitely stand to improve his FT shooting. Both Sterling and Ben need to improve that part of their games if they want to be on the floor at crunch time

I live near one of the main rivers in São Paulo and I often see these oversized gerbil/rabbit/otter like creatures swimming through the sludge. So the other day I decided to google them and realized some people actually have Capybaras as pets. Seeing a 150lb rodent sitting on this ladies lap just makes me laugh.

I maintain that crandall would be the most fun player on the team to hang out with outside of a basketball setting. He's that dude
