    At least he picked a gig where he can avoid more concussions. Wait a minute......

    Exactly what he was after and he turned it into a massive self own. Sadder still, his delivery made it clear he meant none of it.

    Slightly off topic, but this made me appreciate what we have in Josh Whitman so much. New Purdue AD with an incredibly dumb press conference line that makes me 100% not fear Purdue until he is gone.

    Is this a function of having to pick one of women's hoops or volleyball to support fully? I can't understand this unless they just like a caretaker who is reliably mediocre+

    Is Coleman Hawkins injured? I've been checking box scores and he hasn't gotten any run in summer league for the Nuggets.

    Just watched the replay, summer league is a different beast. KW from the opening tip was looking to play a normal game and the Lakers junked it up at every opportunity. Manon for the Lakers seems to want to be an Alex Caruso style player and went out of his way to disrupt KW. Nothing really new...

    It's a nice step forward, largely based on shots falling more as expected. Still will be a process to build his physicals tools to match his feel and skills. Ball pressure still seemed to bother him, but a bit less. Still got blown by too easily off the bounce, but recovered with more...

    The Wizards have Tre Johnson playing too. I think they may be trying to put a little more quality around Dybantsa to help him get more out of the experience. Maybe build a little early chemistry too. I remember watching the summer league Thunder a few years ago and they clearly were already...

    I think one game simply reinforces what most people assumed, Keaton will need to get stronger. Summer league has infinite fouls, but they weren't always fouling. He will adjust and find his opportunities. Pace will be something for him to work on as well, many of the Clips possessions didn't...

    Interesting no Morez, but did include Dain, Coleman and Luke. Guess the bad feelings aren't just a perception.

    Would love a Duncan Robinson arc for him.

    In a vacuum the Ball move makes sense. Ball should help alleviate the doubles that drove Ant crazy the last few years. He should also help them not need to rely on bigs finishing as many possessions. After an Ant double the release valve was often Randle which is less than ideal. I think Ayo...
