Were any of these guys actually signed to exhibit 10's? I didn't think so.

I lobe Walsh, but he’s a little loose freelancing on D. That big 3 by the Knicks at the end started when he ran out to half court to trap. He did it another time too. He’s really good and recovers quick so he gets away with it sometimes but got burned at the end. Needs a little more discipline, which will come.

Banton should just be a combo guard. He can make plays but is pretty turnover prone. I don’t see him as a true PG yet,if ever. Which is fine, having a secondary playmaker at his size is great.

Not much of a chucker as I thought. Only 11.5 shots per game?

None. -- Stevens played it smart. Keep the Battle(s) going, through Training Camp.

As a Side Note:

I think that we should have up to 25-Men at a time, in the Offseason. Fill it up, like the other Sports.
We now have a Bona-fide Minor League.

Also, we also should have 5 x Two-Ways. And maybe 1 or 2 more Ex-10's, at a time.
Make it Real. Basketball is taking over. It's becoming more prevalent around the World.

You (personally) might sour a bit on him once you check his 3pt% in G-league....Banton-esque last year.

Well, at this point, I'm only judging Based on what he is doing and the other players we have..

You guys are seeing a lot more in that guy than I am. He’s had some nice moments in summer league while averaging like 8 and 5 for a bad SL team. Has good all around skills. But I’ve seen him compared to both a Gasol and at least one Lopez today and I don’t see anything like that.

I don't see all of that. -- I see a 14th-15th-Man.
Ideally give him a Two-Way. But people here are saying that he wouldn't take it.

Again, give him an Exhibit 10, and let him Prove himself in Camp.

Last summer I bet and lost that they’d keep 15 on the roster. This year, with the new CBA, I think there’s almost no way they do. Meaning 14th spot is the last spot.

Balcerowski has good height, skills, and is pretty young. You could do worse, but Kornet has played real minutes for the Celtics and while he’s not amazing (and obviously looks/is goofy) I think he holds his own well enough out there. What were Luke’s on/off #s like last season?

Scrubb’s the one hollering WOO WOO when open on offense, right? Haven’t heard that since the Toine days!

These sorts of plays from him — and there haven’t been many, but a few — have been maybe my favorite. He’s a colt on defense as advertised, and his 3 ball shows promise as sort-of-advertised as well. But making plays off the dribble, with an eye towards setting up teammates, has been a part of his game that I was hoping to see and it’s just glimpses, but glimpses of some potential. To put it another way: in four years Grant ain’t never do that

(different players, different positions, but their roles may overlap a bit)

Based on what? Kornet would be balling out in SL against this level of competition.

Yeah unless Brad likes a tweet of Balcerowski soon I don’t see that happening

Good effort to comeback in the second half. But it was too much to overcome the horrible play of JD and Banton.

Banton doesn't look like a PG. He is a bad shooter with bad ball handling skills. He is good at driving to the basket.

No one played well for the Celtics today other than Jay anti Scrubb.

Walsh didn't impact the game like he had in the first 3 games. He had a few nice moments.

Julian Champagnie woke up in the 3rd quarter and got hot from 3.

Our two best players through 3 SL games were Walsh and Scrubb. Our two best players after 4 SL games were Walsh and Scrubb.

I knew it's only SL but if the Celtics had a good PG or even if JD played like he did last SL and if we had a decent coach, we would have easily been 3-, instead of 1-3.

Name those 3 guys - I doubt you can.

We're not gonna be *that* decimated by injuries that our season depends on the 16th man.

and if we are, you could just sign some free agent to contribute.

Lots of teams have young, development projects on their 2-ways. You're not really gaining anything by trying to put a win-now piece as your 16th man..

I must have missed that play. Or this is just a better angle (and slower motion) than was shown on the game broadcast. This is a sick play by JW.

Not yet. It's still early. We usually don't have exhibit 10 signings till right before training camp which is in October.
