Kalkbrenner is going back to college next season.

Dante signed with the Rockets.

Aimaq might not have NBA interest, since he is slow and 25.5 yrs old..

Hmm missed a couple of those - I’d like to see Aimaq on the Cs summer league squad, he’s prob the best passer of them anyways.

Nice video. Tatum looks like a poor man's Enaruna.

Those 3 rookies acquired by Brad is really an impressive haul.

So the Celtics roster is going to be:
Walsh
Peterson
Queta (maybe)
Scheierman
Watson
Enaruna

The Celtics are trying to persuade third-year guard JD Davison to play on their summer league team. Davison can opt to be a free agent or return to the Celtics, who have to determine whether to offer him a standard NBA contract.

Interesting situation.
I don't think that the Celtics are going to offer Davison an NBA Contract, just yet.

Give him a chance to showcase himself, which means the Summer League team will probably go 1-5.
What's up with Madar and Begarin?

G league Celtic team led by JD went to the championship game, what draws you to this conclusion?

They had plenty of guys other than JD.
If just comes in and plays, I'm ok with that. If he comes in trying to prove something, that's often a problem with young players.

JD was the best player on the team. Queta was only there half the time. But I agree. He needs to play within himself to show well. That’s where Tremont Waters met his downfall, turned into a chucker trying to earn a roster spot overnight

Fardwas Aimaq the C out of Cal signed with the Kings SL team, and one of my pre-draft late 2nd round favorites JaeDon Ledee hooked on with the TWolves SL team.

Guess they will have to start getting Queta in game shape and roll out the ringer for SL champs.

Davison/Scheierman/Walsh/Watson/Queta with Enaruna and whoever on the bench can easily take a SL title.

I want to see Walsh playing PF. That's the best path to playing time with us. Him being able to handle the bigger player matchups and secondary rim protection responsibilities of that spot are key. Because realistically, he's going to be behind Scheierman as a wing player, who will already be behind Hauser. As a 5th year senior, you have to think Scheierman is more NBA ready than a 20 year old Walsh.

Holiday / Pritchard
White / Scheierman
Brown / Hauser
Tatum

It's going to be tough to crack that rotation unless Walsh proves he can earn some PF time.

Am I seeing this right?

It looks to me that Enaruna shoots jumpers with his right hand but finishes at the rim almost exclusively with his left?

I don't think I've ever seen that before.

It's not even usual ambidextrous. Obviously lots of players can finish at the rim with both hands. But Enaruna seems to almost exclusively finish at the rim with the opposite of the hand that he shoots jumpers with....
