it hasn't exactly been smooth watching, but i've actually kind of enjoyed watching the last few games when i haven't really cared about the outcome.

hoping kennard goes out on a high note and ellenson shows my something to give my hope going forward.

Kennard for 25 points, 4/5 3’s?
I’d be impressed to see Ellenson with more then 4 rebounds

Tolliver trying hard for his next contract. He might get the max if he continues to play like this. 13 points in 4 minutes.

I certainly hope the next PBO pays Tolliver enough to keep him here.

Tolly is a luxury we cannot afford - Leuer will be back getting paid $10M a season to back up the four. And we'll still have Ellenson for depth. If we spend the MLE it needs to be on a starting SF or 6th man scorer type.

Well, Tolliver career high is 34 points in 2010. If he plays enough he will break that easily today. He has 16 in less than 9 minutes already.

You mean Ellenson for GLeague depth right? Or are you actually considering him a NBA player?

Tolliver for sure is playing for a bigger contract.

Shoulda kept AT on the bench for this one lol. He's playing his way out of our price range.

Henry needed like 2-3 more years of College. Plenty of skill, but he looks so lost out there.

Is Henry an NBA player or is this end of season fodder

I don't see how anyone can look at how smooth and steady Luke is as a rookie and think he's not a starting SG.

Always room for improvement. Still don't see him sucking any less on defense. Trade fodder.

Ready to match him up defensively vs top tier SGs?

I can see Kennard becoming a JJ Redick style SG. I like Kennard hes got more potential then anybody else we've drafted during SVG tenure. Thing is the guy who we should of taken has star potential which Kennard doesnt have. So its hard to be happy about the guy who could be Reddick when we could of got a potential star 2 way combo guard.

I think he's not as horrible as some people make it out to seem. He's a rookie and limited athletically, so obviously defense isn't a strong suit, but in today's NBA where positions are blurred it isn't that hard to play him next to a guy like Bullock (or Stanley, etc) and then just match them up as you see fit. There's only one ball, and there aren't an unlimited number of elite SG's. How many teams have an elite 2 and 3?

Is Stanley ready to match up with anyone offensively? Does this team need spacing next to Blake and Andre? To me those are better questions.
