Time to see what the new rookies are about.

1. Edey is legit. Character and size are there for sure. Hands were too often down though. Fixable. Wanna see him and Ja.
2. If you cannot feed your giant center in the post, you deserve to lose.
3. I havent noticed any difference between Kennard and Spencer.
4. Wells looked a stranger, shy and humble, but showed a great first step once, mobility and fluidity, discipline, and horrible inconsistent shot. But my impression is rather positive.
5. LRV’s progress is impressive. He is legit.
6. Pippen and GG were rather disappointment. The former isn’t an efficient playmaker, the latter showed his age. Fixable.

I thought Pippen played pretty well. Feels like he will end up having a career as a backup PG who can do a little playmaking and scoring for the second unit.

Both Spencer and Wells looked absolutely legit yesterday.

What did you all think of Trey Jamison?

End of bench, insurance center, who made some serious progress. He specifically improved his finishing skills and BBIQ, learned how to use better his frame and physicality. I like him as a two-way player, nice to have.

Agree with this assessment. He's a solid two-way contract for us who can help us survive injuries in the regular season. I wouldn't put him on a real contract right now because if you need him for more games than his two-way allows or need him in the playoffs then you're in trouble.

GG, Jake, and Pippen Jr looked great tonight. Cam continued his efficient offense. Wells looked decent tonight. Jemison was his solid self.

He impressed me in the game vs Dallas. First time. We found and developed another gem. He is a 3d legitimate centre, like Tillman was. But there is a solid chance that Trey will likely be even better due to his great size, frame, physicality, and athleticism.

Wells is going to be a beast. I don’t want to claim he is Bane 2.0, but this kid showed a few very special BB instincts on a few instances. Those that Ja possesses in illegal numbers.

There are three things you can watch forever: fire burning, water falling, and how SPJ and LRV pressure ball handlers and produce steals.

GG’s lack of focus on defence is concerning

Has management shut Edey down ? Or have they seen enough ?

I think so. Zach showed against Kessler that he is legit. Now, it is time for work. Learning and preparing mostly.

The Grizzlies are just pacing Edey and determine what he can do and what he needs to work on with his development.

They also are being extra cautious with injuries. Not worth having a summer league injury linger and interfere with the real season. If Edey isn't 100% then they won't play him.

Edey should be kept out os the SL for sute. The team is good enough without him.

PS Wells is going to be huge. I cannot believe this kid got overlooked.

Both Ware and Wells are elite
