Welcome Losh!

Postby PonyDoh » Sun Jan 23, 2011 8:33 am

Just starting this thread to welcome Losh, who is eventually going to be a great addition. Kid has length, can shoot & pass, and should flourish in this system. Not sure if he'll run any point for us or not, but he has all the intangibles. Obviously, it's going to take a good minute to get him worked in, up to game speed etc, but he immediately moves into the rotation, so that's a plus. Hopefully he's in game shape, and doesn't play timid, which is a real possibility. He's unselfish to the point of deferring, so all I have to say to Losh, is that if you see the rim, let it launch. We can live w/the misses, cause shooters shoot.

Learn something new every day : evidently 'Losha' is a common nickname for Alexei, as Jack is for John, Mo is for Maurice , Bobby is for Robert etc

Most of the time when I hear that its after Jason Terry has a 1 for 12 night shooting. I'm hoping we say it to Pats because he's lights out and needs to shoot more

Terry is a volume chucker & scorer. I'm not thinking Losh launches 12 shots a game too often

That's a very good description of Losh's game. A solid all around game. Having a 6'4 instead of a 5'9 type out in front of the match up zone should help on D too. If he can do the same thing for the Ponies he did @ Collin County, he will be a nice contributor to the squad.
