    Kid impressed. He's not afraid to shoot. If he keeps hitting those J's, I wont be afraid when he shoots either.

    9 points in 10 minutes tonight. The bright lights don't seem to bother the kid.

    This kid has some smooth moves. I hope we don’t trade him right away this.. offseason(?) because he’ll likely have decent value. I’d like to hang onto him, keeps playing him in the G-League, see how develops.

    He will be a very solid player in the league. Needs minutes next season. And those arms man... they almost don't look real.

    He's Klutch. He isn't going anywhere.

    Plus, he's cost controlled.

    I'm thinking: he'll be 20 next year with a full off-season to work with Handy (if he isn't poached) and develop his game.

    I'm thinking he's an 11-13th guy in the rotation next year.

    See? I noticed this long time ago. When he fails in the playoffs, he sits there calmly with the unfocused look and rubs his beard. You guys thought I was kidding, but he always does it. I guess it's therapeutic.

    That beard’s his “blankee”. Any of the workings of the human mind Pros here may agree. Over my pay grade just a shot from the hip.

    Loved seeing THT out there. I wanted to see more of him during the Season, but getting some PT in the G League seemed to have payed off.
