Justin Anderson is limited, but making a respectable case for that last roster spot all the same.

I admit to be too-hasty, but I’m not sold on him
either, he needs a bit more weight and experience...he could become a decent role player like Bertans.
Btw, he was truly god-awful in SL

My guess is they save a little money that way and it's preseason.

I know, I wrote him off completely. Then he came out the first preseason game jacking it up like he's Steph. But he has come around these past two games albeit against lesser competition. At least I'm a little more comfortable with him backing up Bryant with Ian out. Jones is really active on defense and damn he really does have a nose for rebounding.
Right now my cut list is Ian, Chiozza, Booth, and Robinson ( haven't seen anything much from him honestly).

It's because you look at Clyde's suits and you're like "That's straight-up wild and now I feel lucky - sports gambling? all in...woohoo!!!"
Or maybe you see Clyde and it feels like "15% off Groupon coupon at Mood Fabrics? Right here, sir!!! Slather me in that leopard print faux!!!"
It's a win for Ted either way.

I still haven't seen Bonga do anything that makes me want to keep him.

Yeah, I think he's going to make it. He's a competent wing defender. We don't really have any of those with the size to guard bigger wings like Paul George or Luka Doncic. (Brown will eventually be a pretty solid defender, but not in his second season.)
It's also helping his case that he has been hitting 3's in the preseason.

My bet is they have a better broadcast team. Like I said its the best I have heard in a while. Not like a bunch or other local homer broadcast.

I don’t post often but seeing that almost made me want to lose my mind. Wagner has an offensive skill set
Let's be honest. Wagner has played a lot better these last two games, but the Knicks look terrible. Wagner did not make Germany's National team and he looked like a disaster in the regular season. If he wants to have an NBA career he's going to have to knock down the 3+ball. play with energy and not be a disaster on the defensive end. But as far as I'm concerned he hasn't done enough in this league for me to just approach him like he's some kind of established star. If he plays well, I'll applaud him. If he plays terrible, I'm going to call it out. He's played well these last two games but I want to see what he can do going forward.

Yup not much from him either. But he's only 39...i mean 19.

Yeah, folks shouldn't get too excited about nice games against the team from China and... New York. Don't tell Pif, but Mitchell Robinson looked like a poor man's JaVale McGee - so many foolish fouls against jump shooters. When a player makes the same mistake over and over again, it's time to point the red flag at him.
Oh Bertans… yeah, he can shoot a little bit. He's an even better shooter than Mirotic - though not as good a rebounder. Remember the Bucks paid 4 2nd round picks to rent Mirotic for 2 months. Wiz might want to try to extend Bertans. Teams are always looking for a shooter like him. Remember, he's only 26.

If you’re trying to build a winning culture you keep guys like Bertans.
