Training Camp roster/cuts. Update pg 8: Jabari waived MWP makes team

[EArl]

Not happy about Sacre staying and Upshaw being waived.

The average fan will be upset, but I expect more of you EArl...Upshaw's problems was grasping the simple stuff. His reads on rotations were slow and like Byron said he didn't absorb most of the offense. Yeah Sacre is a waste of space, but he does understand the NBA game a little better than Rob. Hopefully the DL stint helps his game because he'll log heavy minutes and we can always pull him up if we can cast of Sacre in a deal.

At this point obviously Sacre is better, but i think hes is a waste of space. Just having Upshaw and sticking him in the dleague would assure us keeping him. Its going to be upsetting if he gets picked up by another team and ends up succeeding.

Robert Sacre being here over Michael Frazier pisses me off, but oh well, I guess we'll ride with it. At least Frazier and Upshaw will be on the summer league team and we can have an inside track at their development.

Frazier would never see the light of day. He was clearly out of his league, with no real specialty weapon to put him in for. Upshaw is nowhere close either.

Now, of course I like Sacre because he's a BC guy, but I do realize his vast limitations. Nonetheless, you can throw in him for spot duty, whereas Upshaw just wasn't catching up quickly enough, and would also not be playable, essentially. Way too slow at this level, and not grasping wha's going on nearly fast enough (unfair, but a workable roster is the name of the game).

Jabari, well, toss up, but better to have backup bigs I think, on those 6 foul days you're playing a beasting C. Easier to find a spare wing on the fly too.

Tyler's right. Frazier will be an excellent NBA role player. With Upshaw out, however, there's no question you need Sacre's size off the deep bench.

I would've kept Frazier over Anthony Brown. I never really liked him at Stanford. He had all the tools, but he's too passive and soft.

Frazier'll be the better pro.

Respect your opinion, however I disagree my friend.

He's a knock down shooter and can defend really well. Great teammate. Needs to work on his ball handling and play making skills. Similar to a Jodie Meeks with better D, in my opinion.

He's someone that can play off Clarkson and Russell's penetration, play off the double teams that Kobe will get, and be a corner/wing three option for Julius when he's driving. The rest of his game will develop over time.
