    I really hope the two can work together and Zu to soak up a lot of what Brook does.

    But also, get some minutes as well.

    One thing the two of them do naturally well is the little mini-floaters in the lane. It's something both of them use naturally to keep shot blockers at bay with a quick release.

    Yes they do. Both of their games are really similar almost carbon copy if you think about it. Brook is just more experienced and polished at everything that Zu wants to get good at. And both struggle in the pick and roll on defense but I think Zu can be a little more athletic but its close.

    Any idea if it was just the 2 of them or a team activity ? And FWIW, Paint Ball is definitely a lot of fun.

    Group. That's Nwaba on the right. No Lonzo though, he was off selling shoes and marketing his brand.

    not saying he doesn't deserve to get paid when time comes but we should've given him the Hinkie 2nd rd special, i.e. Covington has like a 4 or 5yr deal @ $1mill per

    Nance and Zu playing the Lamar Odom role for this team, love it. Nance is the kind of locker room guy every team wish they have, I hope he's here for a long time.

    think that game might be good for zu. he strikes me as a guy who might get a little complacent. he got his a** whipped in pretty embarrassing fashion, imo. i don't think that's lost on him. i expect a positive response.

    I'm not worried about him, he looked rusty and out of playing shape. I expect his play to improve over summer league and by training camp. He can still be brought along carefully behind Lopez.
