Everyone in the building knew it was coming as Keene drills a 30 footer at the buzzer. 8 points in 5 minutes. Dude is unstoppable

McCullough has negative NBA talent. This guy doesn't even know how to play basketball. This is comical

THis guy can't make a simple open pass. Attempts to dunk on people every single time instead of shooting a layup. This might be the worst basketball player I have ever seen

He really is, it's honestly pretty funny to watch. What? Like 5 attempts to dunk on people that had no chance of success? lol

I guess we all know why McCullough was basically given away by a team that was absolutely desperate for young talent.

This is our 2017 NBA 1st round pick. Thanks Ernie!

This **** is hilarious. They are literally running a power forward off of pin downs. Worst coached summer league team of all time. Like a 4 PF lineup and I can't stop laughing while watching this

I honestly think Jan Vesely might be a better NBA player then McCullough... at least Jan had some defensive competence on rotations.... Chris can finish lobs decently... but so could Jan....

In the words of Trump... SAD!

they were up 43-28 in that game and managed to lose. 80-73. outscored 52-30 to close that horrendous basketball game.

Robinson looked good again. 10 rebounds, was all over the place. Keene another double digit scoring outing shooting 50%. Mac hit a couple of threes then didn't play much the rest of the way. Young looked the same, pretty versatile, played good defense on multiple different positions.

McCullough doesn't even belong in the d league, needs to find a new hobby.

Right, the line-ups and rotations even within the context of checking guy out was head-scratching.

Sorry, don't see what you guys see in Young or Robinson. Both look below average. Mac and Keane are the only NBA level talents on the squad.

probably cause McCullough made them look like Anthony Davis and Paul Millsap. I mean seriously, someone should edit together a lowlight reel of McCulloughs performance so I can laugh hysterically again.

What do you mean...? Robinson went 2-3 on 3-pointers.

Oh wait a minute, I mean on FTs. :)

He did get 10 rebounds, 4 of them on the offensive side, in 23 minutes.

Keene did score 12 points on 8 shots & 3 FTAs, which is extremely good, no question. Now you might want to look at the rest of his line. :)

Still I hope we bring him to camp.

Best-case, they turn him into someone like Nate Robinson but with better shooting, have him share the ball with someone with better ball-handling skills.

Michael Young has to be related to Paul Millsap or something, he clearly models his game after him, he looks exactly like him too. He was easily the smartest player on the court along with Pangos, did well defending smaller players in switches throughout the entire game, scored in isolation facing up from around the free throw line, scored with his back to the basket using some post moves. I kinda like him. He's not that freak athlete shot blocker or anything, but he really is a versatile player, he can actually handle the ball and drive unlike Robinson and McCullough who just looked awful anytime they dribble. my biggest question is can he rebound enough, only averaged about 7 per game throughout college. That doesn't translate very well to playing the 4 in the NBA

I didn't think his ball handling was all that bad, I just thought every time teams would show on a pick and roll, he couldn't see over guys to find the open man. He can clearly get buckets, pretty much showed that every game. DJ Augustin/Nate Robinson/Ty Lawson potential maybe.

I'm not sold on Keene being an NBA player and I root for the under 6 footers. You talk about Nate Robinson? Phenomenal athlete at 5-7. Isaiah Thomas? Super strong, quick, and fearless as a shooter from 3, off the dribble and on drives. Most of the smallish guys have had tremendous speed, quickness, strength or hops. Keene is a good shooter but I don't see the quicks or athleticism necessary for a guy that small in the league. He's a smaller version of Vinnie Johnson, who was 6-2 shooting guard but was about 210 pounds of muscle. That's about the only way he'll get time as a microwave guy who you can ride if he gets hot. The rest of his game is not very impressive.

Yeah, he's bad. Like I said before, he appears to have no instincts. Robinson at least was a 40% 3pt shooter at Florida. He hasn't looked that great in the SL but there's potential down the road. Chris is basically taking up a spot in the 15-man roster only due to the trade.
