    Are you able to sign guys on another team's summer league roster to two-way contracts? I'd love if we took a flier on Darius Days, he's a 6'7" forward on the Spurs' summer league team that has been shooting and defending really well.

    Who are you taking off our existing 2 ways we just signed? You only get 2 and they have only played a few SL games.

    If he can keep up the shooting in the regular league he’ll have a long career. His size makes up for not being atheltic.

    I’d probably compare him more to Doug McDermott than Duncan Robinson though

    Swider is a better shooting, but slightly less athletic Kuzma.

    Can't recall the last time I've seen such good form with such horid results. It'll get better when Christie develops a NBA ready body. Trudell compared it to BI's shot his rookie year during a pod this week.

    The kid is 19. He was not a lottery pick. Relax.

    Remember Sasha Vujacic? Had beautiful form on his 3 point shot, never missed in practice or warm ups. Was actually awful in game for the most part. He had a couple of seasons where he shot 37%+ from 3 but he also had several seasons shooting in the low 30% range

    I don't expect any of these guys to contribute anytime soon. All need development. That said, I've liked what I seen from a couple of them. Christie needs work IMO but that is to be expected.

    i agree that mccoy may not be an nba guy, but he should have a solid career overseas, at least. decent size and speed for his skill set. kind of a tweener guard, and those guys do better in europe, i think.

    It’s Summer League and the kid has a couple years of development ahead of him. If we picked him at number six or something similar, then yeah, I would be a bit frustrated at his shooting.

    lol, thought swider was going to blow that layup when i was watching live. knee could have buckled wrong or he could just be that sorry an athlete, lol. he definitely can shoot, though, no question about that.

    huff looked like a man with boys again.
