Murray-Boyles said he is in Southern California getting ready for the pre-draft process with trainer Olin Simplis. His biggest focus is improving his perimeter shooting, after hitting 9-of-34 attempts from beyond the arc this season."

Mobley didn't look too dominant here guys, does that mean he's a bust
I'm a believer in CMB 3, if RJ can hover between 35%-39% on low volume, CMB should be able to get there

I've always wondered if players intentionally wore sub-optimal gear (like sweatpants) in these casual runs to make them more difficult.

And those guys who play topless...lol. I'm pretty sure no one is trying to body up on a dude who is topless and sweating profusely. Defences definitely laying off on those dudes.

LOL I was just about to say the same thing about Mobley. It’s so funny, if other team’s players are bad in a scrimmage it doesn’t matter or if other team’s players are good in a scrimmages they’re amazing and have improved so much. But when it’s our own players it’s the complete opposite lol.

She’s got some bangers.
Her music has a 2000s vibe to it.

Ingram gonna ball out this season with Glorilla courtside.

Considering her recent trouble with the law was marijuana possession in her own home...she will love spending time in Toronto.

Early 2000's Bryan Colangelo's organizational goal was to target European players. Masai's goal was to target African players. Now Bobby's goal is to target weed smokers.

Yes, I've wondered about that too. In terms of "artificial difficulty", it seems to go like:

Sweatpants + Hoodie + Hat > Standard NBA gear > Shorts + Topless

Really they do it to show off & act like they're super casual, u get more brownie points for saucing someone up in street gear lol - but seriously it's a swagg thing.
Playing guys with no shirts is annoying tho, i always played with arm sleeves tho
