The backup 4, the guy who he beat out was me.

Seriously, starting for the Bobcats is not a huge bragging opportunity.

McLemore with a nice debut. 13 points, 4 boards, 2 blocks, 2 steals, 4/8 shooting, 3/6 from three point range, AND had an assist

So edgy. You should be posting on NBA Memes

Best fantasy pick? Olidapo, Zeller, or Olynk?

I'd say Oladipo. Will probably get a lot of minutes...hit threes, steals, assist.

mclemore hit his shots today. good to see. really want to see him play well. really liked him in college and now hearing about his story hightens that even more.
i really like schroeder. could be a star. just has that presence about him. dont have anything to support it, just get that feeling watching him and by the way he plays, he is the sort of player who could be special.

Shabazz didn't get much burn, but the only thing I remember is a possession where he looked off everybody, backed up 10 feet behind the 3 point line on the left side of the court, then walked up sorta kinda using a screen and launched one of those threes where it misses the rim entirely and rockets off the backboard on the far side of the rim. He's going to need some more work.

Did it kinda look like this?

Rudy Gobert is going to surprise people with the way he challenges shots, rebounds and runs the floor. He's quicker and more engaged than was advertised. He was getting well-timed blocks against both Favors and Kanter in the Jazz's public scrimmage.

Burke isn't that bad, but he doesn't look comfortable scoring the ball yet against NBA defenses. I don't think he's quite comfortable with NBA range or the length of NBA defenders yet, but he'll hit 22 footers all night.

Today was the 1st day, it looked like Michael Carter Williams belonged (including summer league). Feeling a lot better about him. Tony Wroten isn't a rookie, but Memphis shouldn't have given him away. He can play.

Man, McLemore has a really quick release. He'll certainly get his shots up.
Hope he'll find the right balance between outside shots and penetration.

Wroten is pretty damn close to a rookie, last season was almost a red shirt. If he was fully, at the rate he is playing he would be playing himself into the roty debate.

On the other hand, technically Royce White is a rookie. Same might be true next year.

Burke's looking like a bust so far. I watched that Jazz scrimmage the other day and he couldn't finish his shots. He's also way too small

I actually pegged him as ROY first but I'll change it to Oladipo

I think Scott Machado should start over him

Yannis vs Tony Bennett

Tony airballs his first 3, Yannis drains his.

The Greek Freak looks good so far.

Glen Rice Jr. just threw down an absolutely sick follow slam to tie the game at the buzzer against Brooklyn.

He could surprise some people.

All bucks fans are praying we tank and give Ersan away for a midfirst.

Sanders/Henson/GreekFreak/Wiggins/knight at least gives us hope of a top five team in 3 years.

How did Burke and Bennett do for those who watched their game?
