    No reason to do anything to mess with his confidence. Let him grow in the G League, get a taste of the big leagues in training camp, and bring him up once he’s ready. Very developed skills for 19.

    No way! We have very little to gain by bringing him up, but especially once Rondo returns. He can only lose confidence playing against full grown talented men at the highest level. He's doing great in G League. Let him dominate there and continue to mature. He got a taste of playing with the big boys though, but now he should earn a return. In training camp he was definitely NOT ready yet.

    You realize we can just as easily send him back down to the South Bay team as we just did calling him up, right?

    i agree with sirron's reservations, but yeah, this may just be to get some practice time in with the team, too. i don't think it means he's going to crack the rotation all of a sudden.

    then again, svi played an oddly large amount of minutes last night for equally odd reasons i presume.

    BI injured and Hart in foul trouble. I can definitely see why Svi got a chance and a good dose of minutes. Lance has been wildly inconsistent which is why Beasley been getting minutes instead of him. To Summarize: Beasley looked lost, Lance inconsistent, and then the issues I brought up with Hart & BI.

    Hey Fernando Valenzuela did it. Can you imagine if this guy somehow against all odds came up and started playing well. He would own Los Angeles and not know what to do with it.

    My guess is they called Bonga up to fill a practice PG role so that Luke could sit Bron in practices.

    as he adjusts to the speed of the big leagues, he'll do fine. But what a heck of a learning curve guys have coming from overseas. It's not easy for anyone to make that jump, but he's still a teenager. But if anyone has earned a shot, it's him.

    Nice to have another ball handler.

    Man I forgot we had this guy....wouldn't be something if he can play some spot minutes here and there and actually play well?

    He's looking good in the G-league but doubt he can do anything in the NBA yet...
