Siakim's release is starting to speed up. All great shooters have quick releases, which you need in the NBA ( ray allen, steph, klay, reggie miller, korver, etc). Is Siakim can get a pullup game....Look out.

If Siakam develops a high-percentage elbow jumper and becomes a threat from mid-range, that will pretty much kill off the last remaining Siakam-stifling strategy that we know about. That strategy involves having a rim-protecting centre like Embiid or Lopez who will hang back into the paint all day, challenge Siakam's shots at the rim, and dare him to take far more jumpers as a result. Siakam becoming a better shooter from mid-range (at least) significantly reduces the viability of that defensive strategy.

Wow, that looks pretty good. He still has the strange footwork, but the release looks smooth with decent mechanics.

Ben Taylor is so good

Powell will be a better than Danny green this year

Just need og to be a better kawhi... or maybe nba decides with the obvious tampering that they just allow us to play johnson og and rhj at the same time to replace kawhi.

Siakam took part in the Drew League last year. I wonder if he does it again this summer.

And Pascal also had a 40 pt game (had rebs and assts as well so overall all around game) in the only game he played there last summer. People can say what they want about Drew League bc it’s not that easy to score 40 in these games. DeMar did it before and he’s become a great scorer in the NBa. Pascal did it last summer and look at how he played in the real thing last season. Let’s hope Stan gets the opportunity with the Raps this year to show his scoring potential.

Stanley and OG should get their hair cut at the same time, by the same guy.

I know one way of telling them apart. It has to do with the size of a certain part of their anatomy. I want to measure... with my hands and no ruler.

Did anybody see the special CTV had on Chris Boucher taking the Championship back to Montreal ? Man said He wishes Montreal had team so he could do what Kawhi did and go back home. That's great and all, but isn't this man under contract ? Doesn't sound Raptors are going to offer him a guaranteed deal.

In Rico’s latest video he mentions that the Raps two teams will be there on Monday. We should see a week or two of Raps content with Rico starting tomorrow.

FVV & Oshae Brissett both posted pics of them aririving in LA separately.
You know what that means...
The World Champs are about to take over Rico’s gym.
July’s over, it’s time to start preparing for the new season.
Our boys are hungry for that 2peat! :nod:
