This team clearly misses WMJ.

This roster outside of Minott, Miller, and Brandon Williams is absolutely awful. What makes it worse is these guys see if as their “chance,” so they’re playing selfish on offensive and gambling like crazy on defense.

I love Miller. Not a star but to get a sure fire NBAer in the second round. Great job by Connelly.

Love it! Where is that old dog?

I really wish Moore and Spagnolo were playing. There are way too many guys on the roster who are flat out terrible.

I've changed how I feel about Miller from Aaron Gordon to Siakam as an archetype.

Why isn’t Moore playing?

Spagnola is going to play overseas 1 more year anyway. Would be nice to see him though. Maybe next game. Lots of guys to look at.

Miller is impressing the hell out of me. The kid is relentless and something good usually happens.

He's a much better shooter than I initially thought. His mechanics are improved a lot in a short time.

Minott and Brandon Williams look great too. Nobody else is.

I’m not giving up on Minott because of that athleticism and effort on defense but he has no offensive skills at all. He dunks if open. I don’t see much else. I was hoping he’d develop a bit more of a shot, handle, passing, something. My hope was he was a Jerami Grant starter kit. He’s got time but he’s got to start making skill development jumps.

I just don't want to see any more minutes from Cooke or Adams.

I thought Keyonte George was without question the rookie and player of the game in the first half, but Leonard Miller is staking his claim in the second.

DJ Carton has some game too.

I'm wearing a Bentley hat.

We’re a different team with Miller on the floor. He’s the best PG on the team.
He settles everything down.

Yep. That's been my knock on Minott too. He made a few shots in game 1 I thought. But hey, if you can make them closer to the basket all the better. i think he has a place even if he doesn't become a great shooter.

Yeah. However, we have a lot of players that shouldn't be playing summer league.

He's completely out of control on way too many drives. Add in that he doesn't seem to have great touch and it's a recipe for a lot of ugly misses.

This team has no chance when Miller and Minott are off the court.

Something draft-niks who had Miller high on the board were on about is his pace of development. The guy looks like a different player from one week to the next.

I disagree, I think he has strong touch.
