    I assume that this is based on the fact that Huston, who drafted him, blows by itself?

    Who was that one kid from the early 2000s who lit it up for us in summer league and pre season to get a roster spot? Driving me bonkers trying to remember.

    Thoughts on the past two games:

    Against Miami I was hoping to see Ware to see how Colin did against him. Overall CS has done well in SL but defense, rebounding, timing, strength and condition need serious work. Need to have seen more work on his base and holding his spot based on his age.

    Lewis: what the hell? Talk about an roller coaster on offense. It's like giving a first time driver keys to a Ferrari and saying good luck. He's got the speed and ability to attack that's promising but he's so out of control. Defensively he's done well in the passing lanes and shown a little ability to disrupt actions, but at 105 pounds (maybe slight exaggeration) he's not going to be able to body against anyone. I will give it to him on the glass, he's fighting hard. He's crashing and out jumping a lot of bigs for rebounds.

    Hinson went from a bigger, slower Hield to a pumpkin. Not only can he not hit anything, he's terrible at every single other aspect of the game. He's got to find his shot again or he's out.

    Knecht has looked really good the last two. I said I wanted to see him get more shots up and to see him get closer to that Tennessee usage and to defer less... he got the memo. This is while playing out of his NBA role and with teammates that make his life more difficult. He's been much more of a first and secondary ball handler than he'll be with the adults. He's done quite well in the role, some good reads and decisions with the ball in his hands. He's not getting the opportunity to catch and shoot or to run off of screens and catch the ball in his shooting pocket. I like what i've seen out of him as a rebounder too. Defense still needs some work.

    Bronny was summer league elite defensively against Miami. I thought that was a great showing for him. Against Houston, it was clear the coaching staff wanted him to be more aggressive on offense. Had 5 shots in the first 4 ½ minutes. Results weren't great. Couple drives looked good, shooting mechanics look fine... but the shot isn't dropping. Like at all. He needs the reps and he's getting them. Only way he's going to grow and develop as needed.

    Kuhse still looks solid.

    I like that we brought on another C in Moses Brown. Like his height. Solid first game with us.

    I like Kuhse. I have him over JHS for 3rd PG. Let JHS get confidence in the g-league and fully heal. Mid season maybe we give him a shot. Kuhse looks solid.

    Bronny may end up being terrible and out of the league fairly quickly. However, I'm not interested in the opinion of a nobody on YouTube that looks like he lives in his mom's basement and never played a second of competitive sports in his life. Hard pass on grown men ranting about 19 year old kids as if they're a finished product.

    Ten seconds of that guy's screeching voice was enough to know that I never need to hear it again.

    if you don't have skills, as least you should have effort

    If he doesn't have that, then he'll come across like an entitled little brat and lose fan support

    Whitmore with 25 & 8 today, Juaqez Jr with 29/11/5 yesterday, I really don’t know what we were thinking last draft, that’s going to hurt for a while.

    You see the Lakers have a consumers research studies group that suggested that the vegans are an untapped market and Rob was more than happy to have that group represented in the NBA, now they have to wait until his already unathletic a** will heal from an impinged disc in his back.
