    I was anticipating Max progressing this year to Eddie Jones Lite level. At least in spurts. But he has regressed. No spurts. Nothing. I don't really get it.

    Oh man, comparing Max to Eddie????
    No, just no.
    I get it, but Eddie would yoke on everyone and rarely was blocked when doing it. Plus, you actually could hit his threes and played very good D without fouling.
    We all hoped Max could become a poor man’s Eddie, but that’s never happening.

    Could've really used him when BI turned into KD last night.

    Hopefully this isn't the derailing kind of injury for him.

    I feel we can start Knecht4 if Cam starts with him

    Thought he looked really good out there. Popped defensively. In the second half had some nice run against Lauri, too.

    Was worried with him coming back from an injury, not sure if that was going to be the injury to derail him again.

    But then I remembered what tonight's game was...

    Really hoping JJ gives Cam a real shot and Cam body can hold up to get to 25-30 mpg. Just a totally different level of defender vs wanna bes like Max and Gabe.

    I don't know if he can healthy enough or if he can provide enough offense to get that many minutes but that the difference between the Lakers having the personnel to have a decent enough defense and hustle to match that offensive firepower they have

    Makes such a big difference on defense for us.

    JJ better be prepping Cam for this because without Vando no else is going to put onto Franz (until the end of the game where you may go with Lebron)

    So good defensively. And I still think there’s a niche offensively that JJ will eventually carve out for him.

    It's rather wild that Austin is older than Cam.

    cam needs a better training regimen, imo. amazing how much money he's probably lost because of pretty poor skill development and the propensity for muscle strains in various places.

    He got a career high 8 rebounds last night. That's a crazy for a tall forward with a few years in the league. How's that possible?
