"Preseason game #100 vs GSW: The Replacements"

Guys wanted to see some PT for Caruso should tune in... He's going to get some burn in this stinker.

Beyond that? Hardly must watch TV.

This clip makes it clear that the next time a guy gets his ankles broke, dudes on the bench should run out on the floor with rags to clean up the spot he fell...
That towel boy made this clip... :lol: :lol: :lol: He was not willing to wait .001 sec to do his job.

This game is an audition for a G-league roster spot for most of the guys we're playing. Caruso has 3 unremarkable minutes so far. Norvell has shown a little something and seems to be the "camp surprise" for what ever that's worth.

Norvell seems to be the only one of the camp invite/fringe players that seems to be a baller.

A little something? Norvell should be on the bench with the way he's shooting the ball.

I'm really liking Norvell as the scoring spark off the bench. Poor man's Quinn Cook.

Captain Norvell about to be make Caruso an afterthought as the token, undrafted, unproven young guy who everybody will ask to see on the floor more often.

Well... I'm not going to get too excited over a few preseason games. He's able to get to the hoop and finish and he's able to hit from deep. 2 things that are valuable at his position. If the staff is keeping score I'd say he's ahead of Caruso after this preseason in just about every metric..... but then Caruso is the example of why we shouldn't get too excited about performances in meaningless games.

Norvell showed some game last night against GS's starters and he didn't back down. I like that over anything I've seen from Caruso so far. Caruso has had 3 years to crack into a rotation and hasn't. We were bad teams then.

Yeah, I like him... Especially because he was doing it with Steph on the court.

I guess we could go Cook/Norvell/Kuz/'K-cock/Howard off the bench... Between Cook and Norvell, the paint should be wide open for Kuz to attack.

I like what he brings to the table. Kid can straight up score the ball. He has a pretty good stroke, and like others have mentioned, his release is pretty quick... his release reminds me Russel.

His threes are like whistling dive-bombs. Gotta love that kick down off the heel.

Since Caruso has a pelvic bone injury, wouldn’t be surprised to see Norvell and Cook already tomorrow. Defense will dictate rotations, I hope. We have more than enough fire power offensively.
