Interesting name, F Parker BRAUN.....Christian's brother. Plus, let's see if we can see some development from Strawther, Pickett and Hunter. And for me, can't wait to see Trey Alexander, hope he shows well

Parker Braun is probably just on the team because he is CB's brother, but I'm kind of baffled that he is 6'10". Maybe he has some potential. Jaylin Willaims might be someone to watch for the last 2 way spot.

If Parker can play/learn Defense like his brother, I'd love to see him get on with the Grand Rapid Gold. Same goes for Jaylin, loves to see him develop in our system.

Pickett, Strawther and Tyson will certainly be under the microscope.

More Nuggets nepotism, G Walter Ellis (a sweet shooter per this article) is former Nuggets GREAT LaPhonso's son. Good read on this team

Would not surprise me if Strawther averages 22+ppg during the SL, just a feeling

Looks like Strawther is showing out again, Trey Alexander may be the player we were hoping Pickett would turn into (he hasn't showed up yet) and clear Tyson didn't work on HIS defense during the offseason.

DaRon Holmes is 3/3 from 3pt land (1-5 from from everywhere else, not the best but he has range).

Hopefully it is a partial tear.

Devastating news for Deuce.

Regardless, heard he's out for the season, just our luck

AG, PWat and Nnaji out in Vegas supporting the guys. Sure hope Nnaji remembers the fight he had to put in back in the day, regain some mojo for the upcoming season.

Tyson having a tough nite playing out of position, needs to figure it out. Trey Alexander getting the PG start, playing pretty well, looks like he could turn into something.

Alexander has been impressive but Strawther is lighting it up.

Third SL game and only Alexander and to a lesser extent, Tyson Hunter are the only player looking like NBA players ( Hunter and Picket only guys to play all 3 games, probably trying to jump start their games). Strawther getting the night off, but no one else can sink a basket in their lives depended on it. Nerves....maybe, but they are still wanting to be professionals, doesn't look likely

Wonder why we haven't seen any of Jaylin Williams yet ??

Hunter Tyson is horrible on both ends of the court. He is not even worthy of a two-way contract.

Well, our coaches and GM disagree with you, but there could still be some merit to what you say. He did score 20pts tonight, with 40% 3pt shooting, yet his overall shooting pct SUCKED. And that doesn't touch on his D or lack thereof. Still, , sometimes it takes more time for bigs to catch up to the NBA game speed.
