Someone somewhere said his scouting report read like Dwayne Bacon’s and the fact that he’s choosing #7 isn’t helping me put those fears aside

Dwayne could have been a pretty good player, a starter even, except he stopped working and thought he was Lebron or something. To this day, I cannot for the life of me understand why someone with his physical profile wouldn't drive the lane and posterize somebody.

He's one of our two-way contracts.

Scottie Lewis and Kubolka were our two ways last year. Curious who is getting the boot.

As much as I like the idea of Kubolka, he hasn't progressed. But Scottie is probably more replacable.

With Bouknight set to miss Vegas, I'd like to see this kid get ample SG minutes to see what he can do

Bryce looks the part of an NBA player but his jumpshot is horrible. Can't see him playing anytime soon

A shooting guard with an ugly inconsistent shot.... Hmmmmm.

Yeah, my thoughts on watching that short clip were “he’s either really tired or his body needs to be retrained”. It’s not dreadful as his base is somewhat stable, but his upper body form has him falling backward on every shot. Release point can be improved, a bit slow. His head shifts around also, throwing things off. He looks like me trying to shoot years ago when I was pooped out.

Admire his effort and work. Always a good sign.

Yeah he looks tired

Definitely looks tired just getting some shots up for good measure. I've watched some tape of him recently and he's obviously more sound than this.

that looked like me if i showed up to the gym after not hooping for 5 years.
i'm just gonna pretend that clip didnt happen
i saw mkg, diop and biz draining warming jumpers more consistently

Well at least it wasn't a clip like Biyombo trying to dribble a basketball around chairs when we drafted him.

This kid has a lot to work on, definitely a 2nd round project but with some potential to get league minutes one day. So many guys come in and get wowed even at the SL level. Once they practice with the team that will make heads spin double time. It’s a premier league for sure…only the best even get minutes much less become starters, and a select few are stars.

Miles…how sad…

Still so **** hurt about Miles man...prayers go out to his wife and kids.

That being said, this really was the most hopeful our **** team looked since the bring back of 2004. Straight up man. What a **** up offseason when we all knew it was the most important one we've ever had. Just wow. Still gonna root for the team with my heart and soul, but we were on the cusp of something and I greatly fear we've been knocked 2 notches backwards.

Just why Miles...why? It's an all-time baffling situation and nobody can persuade me otherwise. Unreal.

32/5/5 for swarm - the stats are whatever, everyone puts up gaudy numbers in g league. but his game just looks so much more polished. passes eye test, better body language

cant wait til he takes bouk's minutes. there's just no way to convince me he isnt the better propect worth developing.
bryce = better shooter, better mechanics, smoother stroke, taller, longer, better handles, better at getting to ft line

what does bouk do better than bryce at this point?

Bouk's much better at pouting, getting speeding fines and DUI'S.
