I might be more disappointed with Sessions than Marco or Hibbert. Hes probably still better than those two overall, but I actually expected something from him and Marco/Roy at least are somewhat specialists in a couple valuable areas. Sessions really doesn't do hardly anything that we want from the PG position on the second unit.

This offseason season keeps looking worse to me. We literally just threw our first round pick in the trash and I don't like any of the rotation players we acquired at all. They all seem to suck pretty hard quite honestly. We didn't retain much cap flexibility and we might have gotten worse in the short term.

while I do expect some improvement from the team, I'm finding it hard to get excited for this season.

I can see a couple of hot streak wins for when Kemba is on fire, but otherwise, I just don't see an overly dangerous team.

I watched for all of about 10 minutes. If it was worse than what I witnessed...

Finally watched the entire cluster. Graham is definitely an NBA body with good defensive instincts and physicality to stick larger wings.....he really gave Muhammed a handful. Offensively he made quick, solid decisions while everyone else besides Tobey lost their GD minds.

I'd be surprised if Graham isn't kept. Tobey would be defensible but Graham is soooooo Clifford. I can only imagine how badly he tortured Harrison the last few weeks.

I do like Graham. I'll be disappointed if we let him go. I'd keep these 14 and try to pick up a cut from another team, or even just keep the spot open.

Might need to bring back Hansbrough, as sad as that is.


When was the last time this franchise found a 2nd rounder, undrafted rookie or international player who looked like future NBA role player? Pat Riley seems to find two every offseason.


We might have to go way on back to Brad Miller and Eddie Robinson.

We win with our bench and depth, that is the way we have done it for a few years now. This years team has no bench. frank and thats about it. Our best bet is that we shorten the rotation at least 1 player or hope marco adds a veterans touch
