This is so funny. When I first read the comment from the agent, "it's only a game," I read it in the philosophical sense, like "basketball is just a game." As in, it will be fine, we're not worried about it. I didn't get that it was for just one game.
As for Nando, I think he will be good but will always have limitations. You just can't teach the passing and court awareness he has, and I think he will never be a good shooter, but he has surprised me with his athleticism and defense. I think he will be more than a serviceable backup.
He is just ultra-aggressive and needs to figure out NBA length and quickness to adjust. This is the same problem he had in the Olympics. He will improve.
I don't see how anyone could watch him play against the Heat and conclude he's no good.
