This why I dont get hyped for summer videos

Most the time they arent playing against lock down defenders

Not to mention they dont even show the misses lmao

I find that **** alarming


I thought the video of him and Trey Young going at it was pretty good. Had moments when it seemed intense

Yup he showed a still inconsistent shot and that he’s still pretty limited offensively. To be fair it was still improvement.


I think he showed a lot more than that while Smith made silly practice videos against the guys at my gym.

No. But Frank did it against PG Kemba Walker and shut his All-NBA ass down in a World Cup game gym. What'd DSJ do again in his high school gym with Trae Young?

And as for my gym? Andrew Toney and Maurice Cheeks. How about your gym? :D

The reality is that what Frank did in the FIBA is meaningless to his NBA career. He needs to show up to training camp with balls and not play soft like he has the past 2 years.

Convo on Frank really shouldn't be in here. I get why it was, but keep it as minimum as possible please.

sadly it will be frank vs dsj because payton is getting minutes and so is trier.

of all the 1 year deals, payton was the dumbest.

Those last 70 seconds, Randle in a nut shell.

Awful 2 for 1 3PT attempt when we are up 2
Doesn’t close out on Sabonis --> open 3
Takes another side step off balance 3

We got sucked into the Randle vortex where all good feelings go to die.

Agreed. We should've gone a tier lower. Get an older vet content to step in if needed and help groom the kids

DSJ needs to work on hitting some free throws first. Then earning consistent minutes at the PG spot.
