    Is it my imagination or does it appear Tu has learned a thing or two, offensively, from Jordan Crawford? A few of his threes and layups looked very Crawford-esque to me.

    That being said, it appears that defense is merely a rumor in that league.
    This is what bothers me about people who say there is no defense in the NBA. Most of the time, the reason a player can't cut it in the NBA is because he doesn't play good enough defense, and when you don't play good enough defense NBA caliber players make you look like this. Players are just too good on offense that you have to be able to limit them to make it.

    In my limited time of watching the NBA, the teams that seem to succeed and win it all, are teams that play good defense. I always thought that what separated MJ and Chicago from the rest of the NBA was defense. Since then, that seemed to always be the common denominator.

    A good way to spot an idiot is by hearing someone say that they don't play defense in the NBA.

    Tu had very nice season in the NBDL. #5 in scoring at @ 22.4 ppg shooting 45.8% and 40.9% on threes Also avg 6.3 assists per game for 7th in the league. Offensive efficiency was among the leaders too.

    I really would love to see him catch on somewhere. Heart of a champion. I gotta believe he is better than Steve Blake who has had a 12 year career avg. 6.5 ppg. w/ 4.0 assists. I mean I don't get how some guys stick and some guys cannot get a sniff.

    I think a lot of it comes down to luck. With borderline players, things have to align nicely in order to make a spot with the right team, the one that will give the player some run. Once one has secured that spot for a season or two, momentum starts to build and a player becomes seasoned.
