TP for yoeman Red Claw coverage. I had forgotten about showcase. Have watched a couple of Nader's games this year and he is a man among boys up there. I hope he survives and is  in training camp next year for shot with Celtics.

I wish they played a more coordinated defense in  D-league, but, Nader has shown solid offensive skills.

 the red claws homepage you can reach highlites of the three players i mentioned
 also the games are taped
nader had several plays that stood out a skying block called a  goal tend, a euro step layup, a gorgeous above the rim finger roll and a fall away jumper after a post up in the lane-he was clutch
 a dagger three to win
the players know how many nba scouts and organizations will see these games so the pace was frenetic
 at times the red claws were jacking and hitting threes but that is their style
nader is no james young, his 3 point shooting alone can keep him on roster
his arc and release are good and has that 7-1.5 wingspan so he is hard to block

the team as a whole plays rotten team defense
 of note nader gets caught in air or stopped mid drive and this causes quite a few turnovers on forced kick outs ,he also is slow around the  back and his crossover is somewhat telegraphed
nader performed well in ncaa's,shined at portsmouth tournament,was a revelation at summer league ,
 nader is eating up d league,now ranked number 9 as nba prospect and yesterday the best player in what was called best game so far-looks like he will be moving up in prospect chart--
naders consistent ascension bodes well for summer league and making the celts roster -he really can shoot and attack the basket with either hand

even if he turns out to be a reliable offensive player that hits his three's and makes the right basketball play that is quite the coup for his draft position-
