I've been outta pocket for the last few days and I haven't been able to lock in. Have Kolek, Dadiet, and The Incredible Huk looked better?

The whole idea that SL is a tournament is a crok of ****. The smartest teams use these games to evalute potential new players to sign for their team and would rather try out various players and defenses and offenses than simply trying to win. If you're in it only to win it, you're a loser.

Huk and Dadiet didn't play. Huk because they know him. Dadiet may have a foot injury. Kolek had that one great game and they essentially used him in the last game to help show what the younger kids can do. He wasn't trying to score of build up numbers for himself. Diawara and Pate looked pretty good, and Beauchamp showed a bit of skill.

Thanks. A lot is riding on these guys and Kolek's initial performance was alarming

Are the Knicks going to roll out the same group as last game? Not that interested in them.

Except Pate, who probably only plays 15 minutes anyway

Diawara is playing and starting

Kolek can't shoot again

Kolek looks less athletic than last year, or else it's my misperception

Huh? Who are they saying played for Denver last night, now in this game?

Dink made a couple of 3s

30 is terrible and shoots way too much

#33 on the Wizards is the Kenny Lofton of point guards

Several sets/actions where Diawara pushes the ball, Kolek off it, then a pass made for Kolek to take a shot.

Probably shades of what Knicks want to do with Brunson more often

Diaware top of the arc 3 pointer off the dribble

Diawara’s wingspan is wild. Much better passing chops than I imagined coming into SL. I see the vision
