Bembry is damn slippery. He has knack for getting to the rim.

He's just so meh. What does he do well?


think early on he's gonna shy back until Gentry tells him he's primary. Just find your spot and go young man.

Im nor surprised with no NAW. I was very interested on who was going to win out the backup C spot between Okafor and Hayes. As of right now it looks like Oak may have the lead.

I wonder how many of these guys won't actually be in the Pels rotation. They've already played 11 guys not counting NAW and Hayes

Right can bring the ball up and shoot from all levels could be a solid replacement for Mirotic in the league.

I was a big Ingram supporter. Have been the entire time.

He's starting to lose his lustre for me... I just don't see any tangible skill that's going to vault him to the next level. I see him getting lapped by other young wings coming into the league.

I think the Kendrick Williams guy will be the one to miss out. Either than that, I dont see who else will lose out on minutes.

Vets might get priority it would be difficult anyway to get that many young players development attention at one time. Lonzo and Ingram are still learning on top of Zion the other two rookies might be in the g league of the team is winning.

Hayes is so much better than Oak IMO, but yea, probably Oak takes it for now

Seems to be running better with the second unit. They should stagger him more to play with the bench that has spacing for him to iso

if we're talking guys that can do what he does coming in then yeah that will likely happen. But if he can be the placeholder NO needs him to be until they hand the keys over to that Williamson kid and B.I. can slide over into complimentary bucket getter and pseudo facilitator then its a win.

Must be so annoying guarding players like Redick, Curry, Korver, etc. Just non stop running

Just turned on this NOLA Atlanta game and Zion definitely stands out as fat compared to all other players.

I just think NO understands they're in a position to where they need to rush NOTHING Hayes next to Zion when Zion is ready to be "the guy" is gonna be ugly. No need hurrying that.
