Holy "Thunder From Down Under". Will Furphy be charged with attempted murder?

That's the 3rd monster dunk by Furphy this SL. The cock back throw down was the best one.

Leonard Miller with 20 points and 8 rebounds today. What do you think of him?

This delaying the last 5 minutes of games for 30 minutes because of point differential in summer league is a complete waste of everybody's time. I'm tired of the late games going on 45 minutes late.

Low IQ chucker who can't figure out how to play defense. Good on the boards, but one of the weirder shot forms I've ever seen. His legs kick out like a spastic Chihuahua when he shoots. Not rotation material unless you're openly tanking in which case he'd be great.

I was told by a poster on the Spurs board that PATFO is washed for not drafting Miller (keeping him), for ruining Lonnie Walker's confidence, and that Sarr is a better prospect than Wemby. A triple threat of insight.

As of now, I have VJ Edgecombe > Dylan Harper.

But for long term, it all depends on how much they can improve on their shooting.

Derik Queen has a lot of Joel Embiid kind of scoring moves, which I’m not sure is a great thing if you don’t have his mammoth size and athleticism

Exactly. He will have trouble playing his style with how much physicality the league is allowing, how teams are emphasizing on deflections and steals, and against NBA length and athleticism.

Hansen Yang is legit. He can really shoot the three, passes like a guard, and plays with a high IQ. He gets to the rim with smart footwork, doesn’t need much dribbling, and his length gives him real rim protection upside. I just dont know if he can defend in space.

I kind of wondered whether NOP didn't load up on bigs not only alongside Zion but for perhaps after him...

They clearly thought Queen was a guy, but I think they view Zion as a luxury. If he stays healthy and Queen is also good, it’s a good problem to have and figure out. I don’t think they feel in a rush to move him without seeing what they can do with him, but having a quality frontcourt this year and in the future is necessary.

Leonard Miller is turning out to be one of the most uselessly limited only useful for garbage time player we drafted in a long while.

I very much doubt he is getting a 2nd nba contract anywhere unless its overtly for tanking purposes as other Wolves fan mentionned.

He is still 21/22, but he screams low IQ and completely off the mark of NBA level that I doubt we will ever get more then this.

Pels say Zion is untouchable but their actions say he’s not.

You don’t draft Fears, Missi and Queen to compliment Zion. You draft them to REPLACE Zion. LOL

We had these reports when they changed front office, that they will trade Zion for sure. I imagine they found out his market value is very low now. Not only he has issues with his conditioning and health, he is now charged for sexual assault or smth like that if I remember it correct. If guy was less talented, he could have been done already.

Where are the minutes supposed to come from in Minnesota for the guy though? His position is stacked, even if they go small and put McDaniels at the 4. I am not a big fan, but the guy probably needs to go somewhere else. Garbage time alone won't tell us much about him.

Wow, didn't expect to wake up check the board and be confronted with that kind of stupidity before the sun came up. Ominous sign for the day at best.

perhaps a sign of good things to come as none of those conclusions were made by decision makers. Have a good one.
