    Jay Huff looks like a legit NBA player. And Swider can shoot.

    Could tell today.


    What impressed me the most in these two outings is that he requires zero space to get one off and the contest does not phase or rattle him at all.

    Yes, it’s just summer league, but it’s highly entertaining basketball, which is the point for fans IMO

    That offensive set is nice, sadly, it's a lot better than what we ran last year.

    right. a) our screener wouldn't even attempt to make contact, b) our screener probably wasn't a three point threat, and c) if that cutter is russ, he's setting up shop for a post up instead of quickly clearing to the corner when the pass doesn't come.

    He looks suspiciously like a younger Danny Green in that picture. And just like that, now I don't like him.

    the Green Room during the season SMH....

    Get use to it.

    We will look better on the floor irrespective of record.

    Although, we should have a better record this season (being optimistic.).

    They need to make Cole the best defender they can, IMO. Work with him. Develop him as much as you can. I have no doubt they s*** is going to translate at the pro level.

    Adding a 40% shooter to this roster in the regular rotation would help a ton.

    thats my thought. Get him with Handy and the rest of the staff and really focus on defense. We’ve needed a shooter like that forever.

    Pippen Jr I believe struggles with length. Although, it's very early. Have to see more in this game.

    Vito Brown is a guy I think can play on the parent squad.

    I just don’t see it with Pippen. He’s a really good player, but for the NBA you have to be 6-2, 6-3 as a guard and if not you have to be SPECIAL, like crazy skilled or jump out of the gym.

    Separate note, Huff is out today in health and safety protocols and you can feel his absence, team just isn’t as good.

    Oh and I agree Brown looks really solid, composed. Christie is a pretty good rebounder too, good defense, you can see why he was drafted.

    What a horrible last stretch by Christie.

    Goodness, man.

    They beat us but we didn’t play some of our best players in Huff and McClung. I like our big wings and want to see moar of Shareef.
