another thing to keep track of:

seeing as Booker and Ulis are the best of friends, maybe along with Watson you want to make sure the team doesn't go down the path of buddy ball.

Raptors effectively are that team with Lowry/DeRozan monopolizing possessions and Dwane Casey encouraging them to do so without repercussion.

I like all the young talent on this team.

Booker
Len
Warren
Ulis
Goodwin
Chriss
Bender.

Bender out of all of them is behind the learning curve which is not shocking. He's really passive I wish he would put the ball on the floor more and create with his passing ability or score. Not just be a pick n pop guy. He is the youngest player in league though I don't see him getting a lot of minutes this year

Goodwin is at the bottom of this list. He is mentally soft, can't fix his shot, can't handle the ball, and can't defend. I really expected to see improvement from him last year and he failed miserably. He should be cut to make room for T. Williams.

Just got to my hotel. That Ulis game winner was so great to see live. Ulis Chriss and Booker together will be fun to see.

I have nothing to say about Bender.

loving the idea of a Ulis/Booker/Warren/Bender or Chriss/Len bench unit

carry over that good chemistry from SL to form a cohesive bench

I hope they keep Kid Kuric. He plays within himself and has a silky J. Almost too good a story for the marketing staff to pass on. Swap him in for Miyagi's Goodwin. Arch needs to go to Europe and find a jumpshot.

Curious to see how McMully handles the glut at guard situation.

Troy Williams should be invited to camp. At times, I ask myself what the hell he's doing but he has his moments.

I don't see Goodwin at the bottom of the list hes had some good NBA games with depleted rosters and barely got playing time his first two years in the league. I'd play out his contract and see if aging grows his game T Williams isn't a make or break guy for me

I wonder if tender Bender has a support group over here with him.... has anyone seen his folks ? Sibs? or a small posse ? Everyone needs a Mickey in their corner

Was thinking the same thing. Then I remembered he is under Watsons Love Shower for now, which might soften the load. But sometimes you don't need the "its ok we will love you always anyway" as much as you need old friends and family cracking jokes at you cause you messed up and that's just part of it.

I like him but if I had to pick a guy without a roster spot it would be Troy Williams. Not only is he explosive and a super athlete but he can hit 3s. That combo is nice.

With the pre-known caveat of Bender being 18, I could not be more happy about what I have seen from him this SL. I have to keep saying "that guy is 7'1 and 18" when he does something good or bad.

In 4 years he'll be 22 LMAO! The heads-up foul he drew!?

He has such a quick release. He just doesn't look comfortable, that's a big difference from not looking capable.

I want Kuric and Williams. Williams could even end up being a solid starter down the road although that's probably a long shot. Kuric is perfect for that end of the rotation 3 point specialist. I think it's time to move on from Archie. I'm not saying he's never going to develop, it's just not likely to happen with us. And even if he turns the corner this year I'm pretty sure we've burned our bridges with him.

The expression on his face during the foul shots explained it all. His game just needs more confidence. The kids doesn't yet understand how good he is and can be. Once he builds his confidence, he will be great. I think he averages 8 and 4 first year on low 40's shooting first year (low-mid thirties from 3) 1 block in 18-22 mins. His turnover rate will be a problem though. When people don't have confidence they bobble the ball on the pass and the board. He showed that in both areas today. He looked visibly nervous.
