Q Looking good!

Post by Duke Blue Blood »

Looks like Q is working hard for the Clippers. Take a look at #9. Livingston was Duke's top recruit that fled for the NBA.

A couple of quotes from the TNT guys tonight - "Ross is putting on a show here in the 4th" and "The Clippers 2nd team has been great, Moore and Ross in particular"

This is the third game I've seen Q play and he just looks terrific. He came in late in third and really slowed down a hot Richard Jefferson with some great D. He’s playing within himself and really helping out the Clippers. Great stuff from Q.

Well, as long as Q keeps playing this way I’m going to post it. Tonight he had his best game in the NBA: 35 minutes, 14 points (all in the 2nd half), 7-9 FGs, 1 block, 0 TOs, and he held Jason Richardson to 17 points (8-20 FGs). Dunleavy had Q on the floor most of the game, including crunch time.

Q has gotten better every year of his Basketball career. Of all the SMU players over last decade he was the most complete player with very few weaknesses fundamentally. If he had a weakness it was physical strength which as his body has matured has become less of a problem.

Agreed, Stallion. He gave the impression of understanding the entire game -- not just his position or his role -- better than any SMU player I can remember. Just a very smart, solid player. He's a guy all PonyFans should be proud of.

When do the Clippers make an appearance in Dallas? I think it would be really cool if we made a big PonyFans.com presence at AAC, complete with signs so he (and TV cameras?) could know how much we appreciate and support The Q.

Q is the best player we have had in a long time. Not only his talent but the team approach he took to the game. I have told many that all he needs is a chance in the NBA becuase his coaches and teammates will love him and his work ethic. Its great to see a guy who always put the team first getting the chance to shine (and soon make some big bucks)

Q is no 10 in rookie rankings

http://www.nba.com/milk_rookie/rankings_041129.html
10. Quinton Ross, G, L.A. Clippers (Undrafted)
Stats: 5.0 PPG, 2.2 RPG, 1.3 APG (8.5 PRA)
Upcoming: vs. Cle. (11/29), vs. Ind. (12/1), vs. Min. (12/4)
Breakdown: Undrafted rookie out of SMU might fall off the rankings radar when Corey Maggette and Kerry Kittles return to the lineup, but with 10.7 ppg, 2.3 rpg and 2.0 apg, Ross certainly is a big part of the Clippers' current three-game winning streak.
