Damn Gary is a bucket

Gonna be interesting to see who starts between him or Schroder

He obviously has a good fit and chemistry with Scottie tho

Gary needs to start. But more than that they need to pick a lane and commit to it with gary. Last year moving him in between bench and starting messed him up imo

Freeman-Liberty is an intriguing prospect. If he can get minutes at point, he would have good size and athleticism for the position.

Ron Harper Jr. looks pretty bad... I can't think of a time where I've been impressed with his play.

He seemed to also knock down jumpers end of clock with more comfort last season. When he has too much time to think is when the mechanics get out of wack. The more reps he has, the more natural his jumper will get.

I don't know... I'm just not seeing it with him. He did hit a couple threes, but also badly air balled an open three, and missed a couple others also badly. I personally think his shot mechanics are not great; the ball positioning is way too far forward which affords him less space to get the shot off. And apart from shooting threes I thought he was mostly invisible. He also doesn't seem to move very quickly on either end of the floor. I get he is an end of roster player so we shouldn't expect much. But I would have hoped to see more from him through summer league and through these kinds of runs. At least show up to rico with energy and looking excited to be there.

He didn’t look any better than the Summer League scrubs in Vegas. I actually think he might get cut in training camp.

Personally I really like Harper Jr and think he has a chance. Looks a little slimmer in the video. He has also really dramatically raised the release point on his shot. A change like that will take time.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I told you, team is gonna be better than people think.

Kind of weird how entire raptors team showed up together, but siakam went separately with random players.

Also gradey was just kind of there lmao. He wasn't really involved at all. But scottie was just too dominant I guess.

A little disheartening that Malachi cant even look good in this kind of setting.

Refuse to take open runs as anything that will translate onto the court in meaningful games. A lot of dudes look good in this setting.
