Jett Howard and Anthony Black both seem like good dudes, in their interviews.

VVB and Reggie, each with 2 threes. Good for them.

That looked like a Flagrant One?

He certainly is no floor general out there. Too sloppy to PG, and can't shoot to make things worse.

But he's still young, he's on a 2-way again and could make a big step this year. Otherwise I gotta rethink my avatar!

I feel like Balcerowski is good but a fringe NBA player. I think he should probably just stay in the spain ACB league.

Maybe he's a guy who keeps developing overseas and then ends up making it in the NBA when he's like 25 or something..

I am wondering if he will stand out more. Because of his passing with the main rotation players.

Also the cutting, which wasn't going to be highlighted in summer league play, especially since he was probably one of the guys the defense keyed on.

Think Marquis Daniels might be a good comp for him. I lived when the Celtics signed him, though it didn't really work out.

IIRC that was more about health though. Good blast from the past comparison!

Champagnie and Dalano out?

Walsh has a feel for the game you can't teach. This kid is going to make a name for himself in this league guaranteed.

Yeah, ORL has too many pups. They can spare one to the Celtics.

Bodon is the Bo Cruz of Summer League .

The Great Valerio can have Champagnie's spot

Valerio-Bodon some passing chops too. Defensively, though, he's been rough.

Bill Lumbergh · Post #1533 » by **Bill Lumbergh** » Sat Jul 15, 2023 11:44 pm

Too bad Valerio didn’t get a little more burn in SL. He is a little intriguing.

Yes. They're not even listed on the Active Roster.
Guess they showed what they could, already?

This team beats the Nuggets in 5 games, tops.

Vincent with a nice cut and basket and now a nice notebook pass...

Fire this coach.. This kid might be good enough to have been a summer league Starter.. And now we have no idea..

Well, he's on a 2-way. Not an NBA contract.

And he's only 20. There' certainly some potential that you keep developing and he could turn into something down the road.

And it's only been 1 year since we drafted him.

The SL Nuggets?

Dude hasn't watched any Rob Williams if he NEVER saw a guy block a 3pt shot from 5 feet away before Wemby.
