    Yeah, he deserves a few more games to adjust to the new team but he may end up getting DNPs when Gabe is back.

    He seems to be a good lead extender, can play well if the team has the lead, but we have Knecht for that role already

    I like Milton so far. I'm ready to send Gabe out for a center.

    He can play in a NBA game and not look like the 15th player on a lotto team. That's progress. There's room for him to get more comfortable and make a bigger impact, but he's better than Lewis and that's a huge improvement for us. He's a fine 11, 12th man on a serious team. He can scale up to 9th or so when needed.

    Looked like Max Lewis last game to this. Hell of a redemption game. Knew he was better than he's shown here.

    Mentioning Nunn still gives me PSTD. Talk about the ultimate dead guy player.

    He was really able to showcase what he can do -- which is actually a lot -- in 28 minutes. He can't produce anything in 10, he's not that kind of player. But he can score in a variety of ways, has freakishly long arms (which helps with finishing around the basket) and he can even pass some as a secondary playmaker. Really, pretty decent player overall.
