Nice to see Walsh confidently and comfortably make his free throws look easy.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Stop the mess. He may be trying to hang on, but not in sl!! This isn’t even close to what the NBA is and he’s had plenty more minutes in real games than amari has never seen. Amari may be a buddy but what does that comparison even mean at this point? Nothing.

I’m not even arguing against Bassey, I’m arguing your logic.

The logic is, if he looks this much worse than a guy like Bassey, then it’s not a good sign Shak. Experience be damned. This is a talent issue

3 years in and Walsh still seems clueless at times


Technically it's 2 years, though 3rd summer league. His inability to free himself on that sequence earlier is more disappointing to me because may signify the strength training isn't where it should be by now.

I’m fine with Amari Williams, there is some potential there. Williams just needs to spend the season in Maine

Bassey with almost 50% more time than the starter Amari in the 1st--and of course doing more.

tbh i thought williams was going to have the motor bassey has, like a really hard working big guy. if amari were relentless like that i'd see way more upside. we need this guy to turn out good bc they passed up on so msany other prospects by trading down for him

Bassey has looked better than MANY players I have watched this SL. People picked much higher than Amari. It doesn’t say much.

Just say you want Bassey on the team, you don’t have to make comparisons that don’t add up. You’re acting like it’s not difficult to be in the NBA. The worst NBA player will bust butts of many of the better players in the world.

I was looking forward to watching Maine this year after seeing the SL roster. Not so much anymore.

Hugo and Rico will be with the big club

Walsh with 5 Fouls, in the 2nd Qtr, and Quarters are only 10 mins long.

Goodbye Kid.
Good Luck in your next endeavor.

Not really seeing any particular NBA skill from Shulga so far.

It seems like some people take offense if I am critical about a player. Whatever. But with that said Shulga Has no bag.. He cannot create dribble and is a little undersized to be off the ball..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Tougher for Amari to make an impact when there are no cutters.
