Omri Casspi thread

[Juan Carlos Nadal]

Too bad they are not showing any Kings' games over here. I am curious to see him play.

He is an interesting case of someone that was a non-factor in Europe but with an immediate impact in the NBA.

I don't know if I would say he was a non-factor in Europe, but he seems to be picking up the NBA game much faster then people expected him too.

Definitely, he had 12 points (all on threes), 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals in career-high 36 minutes... over Golden State... but he missed all four free throws he took (???)

that's really weird.. he got really bad FT % so far.. that's actually the worst thing about him so far he improved in everything else.

another good game by omri with 17 pts&8 rbs in 36 mins (17 pts-career high for casspi in hi's not so long career so far..)

[MaccabiTA]

casspi's getting better&better, 15 pts 3 rbs 1 ast in 27 mins (got ejected after a second technical foul, actually in the second one he did nothing, tinsley locked hi's arm and all he did was trying to get hi's arm back and the stupid refs believed tinsley's shit and ejected him)

[MaccabiTA]

new career high by Omri! 18 pts (4 rbs 1 ast 1 stl 30 mins)
he looks like one of the top 10 rookies so far so i hope he'll keep playing that good and make it to the rookies game

[blacklight]

yeah casspi is doing a great job as a supporting casts of kings.
even though he was not a major scorer he still contributes.

[MaccabiTA]

casspi keep on doing hi's job (and he does that great) not a star, yet a pretty important player for the kings so far. this time 12 pts&5 rbs

[MaccabiTA]

Casspi with 14 pts. in 18 mins vs. heat including the very first Israeli buzzer beater in the NBA (and amazing 4/4 from the 3)

Casspi's improvment from the 3 is unbelievable,he is 3rd (!!!) in the NBA in three pointers % with 51.2% (21/40)

However, not everything is going well. One issue is definitely Casspi’s accuracy from the line. He is only 52.1% from the charity stripe.

The New Jersey Nets, on the night they would tie the record for most losses to start the season, went to the length of fouling Casspi intentionally hoping he would miss his free throws. The Nets went on to lose 109-96, and Casspi would hit 4-8 free throws.

Though his free-throw percentage has actually improved over the season, including the last eight games where he has shot a more-respectable 66.7% (22-33). He started out the season shooting just 20% from the line, 3-15 free throws in his first nine games.

Actually at the 2 times they sent him intentionally to the foul line at the end of the game he made 3-4, so they drooped this strategy.

20 points (career high)+ 7 rebounds for Casspi in a loss to San Antonio.

He was amazing, 70% for 2 (7/10) and 50% for 3 (2/4) but he really must improve hi's free throws, in Israel he was average what happened to him? too bad, he is missing points and becoming a target for intentional fouls which means hi's coach won't let him play in the money time as long as he keeps missing

[BBallfanJ]

22 points (new career high) including 8/9 FTs, in his first NBA start, in a win against Washington. He's gradually getting his free-throw percentage up.
