It was on 15 attempts. That small of a sample is all noise.

TSJr going to the basket is a little like Ant. He is playing great.

Dilly had 15 points on 15 shots. Miller had 6 points on 9 shots. Clark had 6 points on 9 starts. :(

Big hulking dude. Seems a little out of position for rebounds and offensive sets. I think he is very raw. That doesn’t mean he won’t settle in and play better or that he will develop poorly. It just means he will benefit from a year in the G.

TJ looks too good for SL, Dilly is playing ok but nothing jumps out at me besides his amazing handle(which we already knew about), Joan Beringer is pure energy and effort but nobody is giving him the ball and Rocco looks really mobile for a 7'3 guy

I'd guess Beringer if he can stay healthy with all those hops at that size. I think he may reach multiple all-star appearances.


TSJ but he’ll be a bit under the radar until he goes someplace he can start.

It's still nice to see him putting that in the rearview mirror.

I was watching the game from bed and fell asleep. When I woke up I was able to watch the rest with no spoilers and we had the game in hand all night long. Beringer didn't repeat the crazy stats from the previous game, but he looked good once again. Dilly was better. He had 9 assists and should have had more. TSJ didn't shoot particularly well. It was nice to see more Rocco this game. He's "older" than Joan, but still just 18. I can see him growing into an NBA rotation player. Not too confident about him becoming the next Rik Smits or Big Z.

Just watch the game in replay :
+++ TSJ : okay we've seen enough, let's the kid rest and get ready for next season. NBA player.
++ Rob and Clark : Rob still can avoid some mistakes but overall, he play quite well and his playmaking was pretty good tonight.
+ : Joan : Really good defender, better hands than Rudy. He did not see the ball enough on my opinion.

- : Miller can shoot but at 23, his BBIQ seems pretty low.

We don't play again until Tuesday if I'm reading the schedule right. Then we play again Wednesday. Then we win the SL playoffs.

TSJ is definitely an NBA rotational player. Step down from NAW for this upcoming year? Yes. But longterm a similar player.

I think we sign a backup PG after summer league. Dilly was better today, especially the first quarter. But still doesn’t run the offense that well and, more importantly, is an absolute sieve defensively. I don’t see Finch giving such a net negative minutes consistently.

I was hoping that Clark would be more consistent with his shot. Had not through two games. If he hits that, had a shot to be our Dort. If he doesn’t, he won’t play.

I think Beringer is just a winning player. It’s going to take a couple years, but he’s a really smart defensive player. He also is smart offensively, not a ton of skills, but seems to play the right way. Also, he seems to catch everything. Great hands. Missed a dunk but caught some tough passes. They should have looked for him more.

The rest, including Miller, not NBA players. Rocco has a chance but that’s several years away.

Bericade is going to be fun to watch with our second unit this season. He complements Naz well and the other teams won't be ready for La Défense and his offensive rebounding. TSJ is ready to take his shot, Clark and Rob will contribute too, but Miller will not see the floor much.

I wish Ingles had something left in tank. Either way his first alleyoop to Zikarsky will be legendary

Miller is 21, not 23. I agree though, he doesn't look like he's progressed much going into his 3rd year with the team.

Berricade is a good nickname considering his shot blocking and defense. I also remember the Barricades in Les Miserables. I think that's a winner.

Call me crazy but in my eyes Zikarsy is an equally interesting project as Maluach.

Watched the second game and Joan reminds me of some random athletic guys playing a pickup game. Zikarsy seems to have more basketball footwork. I won't be surprised he is ready to take a few NBA backup minutes before Joan. After two games, I see Yang is ahead of Joan.
