Never thought I'd be rooting for diabetes.

Melo/Miller taking us to the promise land

I don't know about NSJ. He still plays far too sped up. Reminds me of a self-conscious whippet with the zoomies.

You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown

Although not his best scoring game, Salaun has really impressed with his all around play.

EDIT: and just like that he unleashes stupid.

29 turnovers. Sloppy. Even the starters were sloppy with turnovers.

Dear Lord that is impressive. I Really wait to watch him this season. If he can mix in his athletic ability by getting to the rim with his shooting, he's gonna be absolutely special.

Yeah, seems pretty clear that reducing turnovers is not a high area of focus right now. I'll sacrifice that if we can play with at least as much defensive energy (even if execution is still kinda lacking).

Fear he’s one of those players that can’t climb above their :banghead:

mental limitations. We’ve seen the same thing now over and over, last year, summer league, now preseason. Kinda like me trying to dunk a ball…just ain’t happening.

NSJ was a fair gamble on an outstanding hs talent that was made fully redundant with Tre Manns upcoming break out. Not sure he really has a point here. I’d flip him for a future second or a big

The dude is 20 and playing in his second season, and this was his first preseason game. Way too early to be writing him off.

at the end of the day, he is a generic scoring guard and there are just so many of those out there. He'll get his 3rd year option exercised and I wouldn't throw him away needlessly, but if another team sees him as a sweetener in another trade, I'd let him go. Tre outclasses him.
