				I don't know much about these guys, but I'll be looking to see maybe if we can find a diamond in the rough at 3d string PG on the cheap.

				Looking forward to SL. Expect Keegan to play in the California Class and then shut it down. Same with Kessler.
Outside of the guys we know of, the two draft picks, Queta, Ellis, I'm interested in the two guys Blind Prophet mentions, Ford and Boum.
Think Boum might be able to play his way onto the Stockton Kings roster and Ford may get a training camp invite for a 3rd string PG spot.

He looked quite good. Going to be a decent player. Looks in control and hussles on D. Liked what Jovic did too. Obviously the Heat told him to go out there and get to the cup and show them what he has.

I mean there aren't even any positives. Should have cleared the starters earlier and given the other dudes a chance.

				I'm still a bit behind watching it on DVR but some early observations.
Queta's mobility has improved. 
Ellis is very handsy and active.

				What's up with Ellis' hair?
Reminds me of a few things.
1. An OG on a $20 dollar bill like from the Whig party
2. An extra in a zombie movie, Night of the Living Dead
3. A well used custodial mop
Scary/intimidating however.

				Need to see Keegan be more aggressive in the 2nd half. The court is too clogged up at the moment, but it is for everyone too.
Colby has some nice speed in his game. The changes in speed on his drives are that of a much more experienced player.
Queta is active and looks a little quicker on his feet. Just picking up too many fouls. Wouldn't mind seeing some Keegan/Colby/Ford P&R with Queta in the 2nd half.
And just give Jordan Ford the 3rd string PG spot. Liking what he was doing with the ball and setting up the offense.

				Jones needs some development running the offense if that is what they want him to do in some instances. But that sort of thing should get better with time/practice.
What he did show was change of pace, some patience and utility when attacking the basket. Those sort of things playing off Sabonis may be some gold in the pocket here.

Ford looks pretty good so far. Was hoping we can find a budget point guard this summer. Maybe?

I mean at this point I think I would let PJ go and sign Ford to a min contract and use the small amount left on a defensive 5 like Biyombo.

				Queta still has a **** ton of wasted movement in his game.

My preference is the wise old vet as your 3rd PG
