Briscoe's Jazz workout

[Jakarii]

Workout is over and this is he report on how he did

His defense was very well good on P.J Dozier, his handles was elite, PJ could not keep him from getting into the lane and had him dancing the whole workout. His jumper is still a MAJOR issue though

 

[armchairpg]

Good news overall. I was afraid he would be flat.

 

[jrpross]

Sounds about right; exactly what we've seen for 2 years. Time will tell if it will translate to any sort of nba career.

Boston has 2 guys that played a good amount for them that are what Brisoce could be in Smart and Rozier both brick layers that players dare to shoot. Works out fine for them.

Smart and roziers jumpers are leaps and bounds better than IB

 

[UK90]

Yep, that sounds like our same Briscoe: good defender, good ballhandler, awful jumper.

 

[Mike-D]

This. Not even close.

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

This. Not even close.

Plus both are significantly more athletic.

You haven't watched the NBA then. Briscoe is not even close to them

 

[AnarchoNeoLuddite]

Yes those guys shoot shoot like hell and have a roster spot. Neither are phenomenal athletes either

Marcus smart is the strongest guard in the league and is an excellent defender

 

[UK90]

They also rate far higher at ...well, literally leaps and bounds ..ie. athleticism.

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

Both had the same standing vertical as Briscoe's max vertical, but whatever.

Take off the blue tinted glasses. Briscoe sucks in the league. Isn't made for it

 

[Smashcat]

I don't see Briscoe lasting in the league but would be pleased to be wrong.

There's a fine line between being an average, adequate shooter. Briscoe is on Rondo's level. Go look back at Kentucky's own Rajon Rondo and look at everything else he could do besides shoot and he's basically out of the league now.

Rajon Rondo made $70,282,884 in the NBA

 

[Jakarii]

Both are much better jumper shooters than Briscoe though

Boston has 2 guys that played a good amount for them that are what Brisoce could be in Smart and Rozier both brick layers that players dare to shoot. Works out fine for them.

 

[Jakarii]

Both are better athletes as well. Not good comparisons. Both have proven they belong in the NBA as well as earned the right to be in the rotation on a playoff team

Yes those guys shoot shoot like hell and have a roster spot. Neither are phenomenal athletes either

 

[Jakarii]

In game vert is much different than workout verts. Can't go by workout measurements. O.J Mayo has a much higher vert than Wade but I bet you can't remember OJ dunking on anyone or many if any of his traffic dunks

Both had the same standing vertical as Briscoe's max vertical, but whatever.

 

[Jakarii]

Lol. I'm guessing you don't watch much NBA. Rondo was not only very good but the main reason Chicago was up 2-0 on the Celtics before he got hurt

Actually Wade's no step was higher than Mayo's but my point was the fact that if Rozier and Smart can no step jump as high as Briscoe can with a running start, they're significantly better athletes.

Yep, I'm a Celtics fan and Rondo was about to send them packing in the 1st round match up until his injury. Far from "basically out of the league now" as that other poster thought. Briscoe or Rondo? I'll take Rondo every single day.

And even if he were out of the league, not like an 11 year career would be anything to scoff at.

 

[Nubb16]

If he could hit that j teams would be lined up to draft him. Really good handle really good defender and mean as shit

This makes me laugh...no clue at all. Rondo owned the floor in the Celtics-Bulls series.

Rondo and Briscoe should never be in the same sentence. Rondo is a Celtics Hall of Famer and has freak Quickness and IQ..he's 3 times the athlete that Isaiah is.

 

[KA4Prez]

When I said Rondo's level, I meant as a shooter. He's miles ahead of Briscoe, still, it everything else.

A rebound away from a triple double in his last game and his team folds after his injury.

Glad you clarified. I was looking for something worse than the "ignore" button after I read the other post.

 

[YouKay]

Y'all don't watch much Celtics ball if you think Briscoe right now is far behind where Smart and Rozier were when they were drafted. Rozier was HORRIBLE last year, I mean the guy could not handle the ball and couldn't shoot worth a damn. The Celtics clearly wasted a first round pick on him. He was marginally better this year, that's due to the great coaching of Brad Stevens. Even so I cringed every time he came into a game. He made the good decision to focus more on defense and it has paid off. But it's still an adventure when he shoots.

Isaiah Briscoe RIGHT NOW is a better defender than Rozier, and probably a better shooter. He isn't going to be someone's wasted first round pick, for sure. But he had a great NBA combine and some good team workouts. The Sixers worked him out and get have 4 second round picks. They need a good defensive guard off the bench and Briscoe would be a perfect candidate for that.

 

[morgousky]

Rondo was one of the best pg in the league for a long time. Briscoe shouldnt even come up in a comparison. Totally ridiculous.

Man what some people will do to pump briscoe. Its wierd.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

If he works hard and practices as much as possible he maybe as good as or better than Louie Armstrong when he retires
