"Bronson" works on multiple levels


Yeah he's not making many defensive mistakes. Followed up from last game on offense too, not doing too much or too little.

I think it's going to be interesting watching him in the league.

Castleton looks decent as a big in the modern game.

Tyson really impressive as I expected. Knecht is definitely not gonna work as a first option at the next level but attacking closeouts he's got a lot.

Btw, that James kid for the Lakers seems pretty decent.

Houston has an interesting group of young players. I wonder if they make a trade in the near future...?

At the forward spots they have: Cam Whitmore, Tari Eason, AJ Griffin, Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith Jr. Plus a vet (Dillon Brooks). There's not enough minutes for all of them.

PG: Amen
SG: Griffin
SF: Cam
PF: Eason
C : Jabari

They could share the floor together honestly. They're big wings with diverse skill sets

Haha.

I didn't mention their guards because Fred VanVleet, Reed and Jalen Green is an ok rotation.

Dillingham is a way better floor general than advertised. Still needs a lot of work but the game and instincts are definitely there. He just needs about 25 lbs of muscle.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

PG: FVV | Sheppard

PF: Jabari | Whitmore
C : Sengun | Eason

Doesn't seem to hard, just a deep team with injuries expected. I'd be looking for FVV and Brooks to be moved off before the young guys. But there might be some issues with contract timing, they may need to trade Eason for draft pick.

Nate Williams' last game was one long Benny Hill episode, and in the first half of this one he helped his teammate knock the ball in Minnesota's basket and goaltended a shot that wasn't even going to get halfway over the cylinder. I don't know about this guy.
