    Apparently LeBron said something about Svi. What was it? I can't find it and, as you guys can guess, am not going to rummage through LeBron's drivel to find out.

    He said because of him Svi would get WIDE OPEN looks.

    A well made case for the WTF of picking Bongo up way up there and just hoping everyone else was overlooking these things on Svi ..... as crazy high on him as they said they were.

    Definitely. I wasnt disagreeing, just providing context. There's still a strong stigma for players who play all four years; especially if they dont make big statisitcal jumps. We've been cleaning up on that for a couple of years now though.

    Basically that Svi looks really good and will step up whenever he gets his opportunity.

    Luke also said Svi looked good too.

    These saps are all spewing the company BS. Real games make the sphincter a little tighter. We will see how good they are when that happens.

    I expect every shot of his to go in.

    He's gonna thrive playing with Ball, Rondo and Bron.

    I'm digging Svi. He can really shoot, but he's not one dimensional at all. I like his activity on D. I'm so happy we got this kid. He doesn't play or look like a rookie at all. Great scouting once again.

    Pressing out there on shots...opponents just taking it to him on D. Attacked the rim for a slam but missed his outside shots. Has the skills off the dribble, good handles.

    He’ll be alright. Svi just looks like a rookie trying to adjust to the new speed of the pro NBA game

    He looks like a kid trying to live up to his opportunities and that "Steal of the Draft" talk. Just take a deep breath. Play your game. Be patient.

    I'd hope Josh Hart would encourage him, but I could see why Josh wouldn't want Svi feeling too comfortable. They're competing for the same minutes.

    Svi's gonna be alright. He handled the ball some under pressure and was involved. He'll be alright.

    He had some nice reads with his passing but just a little too late some of them. That timing and understanding the pace will come. I think the playing time and development with South Bay Lakers will definitely help.

    He needs to make shots in games.

    2-12 sofar in the pre-season from 3. Small sample size but still...I don't want another Vujacic on this team. I want a 43% three point shooter. Don't care who, how and what not.

    I'm predicting Svi will eventually hit 45% on threes consistently. But not this year.

    Hes not going to have the Kuz like sunmer league to regular season jump just because there's not the same opportunities this year.

    How many of Svi's threes he's taken in summer league were with legit players on the court with him. He's not getting the looks he got in summer league because the players he's been out there with for the bulk of the minutes have not been ideal players to get him the ball in the correct spots.

    Svi looked like a superstar in the 2nd half. Loved it.
