Looking forward to seeing the play styles of the new guys and where Chomche and some of the other rooks are in their development, but not valuing much more than that.


Yeah, it boggles my mind that ppl don’t seem to understand the pre-season championship is where it’s at

I am interested in the things you listed as well. But if you are a sports fan, its always more enjoyable to watch better quality/ winning basketball. Seeing your team get blown out in a Summer League game would make it unwatchable. You want them to be competitive just for entertainment sake.

Very nice depth chart! I expect we'll see something like this:

Shead / Hepburn / Joiner
Walter / Martin / Key
Battle / Lawson / Guerrier / Tait-Jones
CMB / Mogbo / Degenhart
Castleton / Chomche / Omoruyi

So far Carter Bryant in SL looks just like Carter Bryant in college. Underwhelming.

bryant wouldnt standout out in SL, he needs good players around him so he can focus on spreading the floor and defense, you pretty much draft him if you have scorers already in place which spurs do

He doesn't look like much athletically.

I'm not enthusiastic about him with San Antonio upcoming. They're not rife with offensive talent and CB just doesn't look athletic or particularly dangerous with his shot.

Liked what I saw from Carter. He’s going to fit in the nba seamlessly.

He should but I bet LeBron’s camp will not make that happen.

Dalton Knecht looks like he's going half speed, like he's too good to be there. Could be wrong about that
