Diawara is clearly ahead of Pate, development wise.

More controlled, better decsion making, better handle, better defense.

Still, worth giving Pate a few years to develop.

So, Diawara has excellent defensive potential, hustles, but it looks like he plays up too close and gets beat by the better speed of some players.

Seems like an easy enough adjustment/thing to fix

perhaps 1 foot away from the ballhandler would be enuff of an adjustment

Diawara and Nnaji are all tools and motor. Huk looked good while he played, but it seems like they're winding his minutes down. I wouldn't be surprised if Kolek and Huk or shut down for the next one.

The announcer is right. Brunson would become more deadly making quick passes.

Beauchamp actually played well in the 2nd half.

Watson is pretty terrible as a big.

I'm not sure what the Knicks saw in him last year...he is a big that really doesn't defend/rim protect and he also doesn't stretch the floor.

Trying to figure out what he does well?

The first two games sounded like we had nothing. I enjoyed this game. Kolek went to work early and balled out. Huk looks solid. Diawara looks like a project but, he's got some motor.

Hope to catch the next game and see some Pac/McC. Really wanna see what they look like after waiting an entire year basically.

Glad this wasn't a garbage fest.

It's funny reading all the posters saying how bad Beauchamp is. I watched the Detroit game, missed the Boston game, and today's game was blacked out from ESPN (grumble grumble). As a Summer League player, Beauchamp looks OK, but only OK. He hustles, he shoots less well than you'd like, but he's a passable 15th man or 2-way player, at least based on what I've seen.

Watson isn't that. Watson had pretty stats today but I don't think he's even good enough as a 2-way player.
