Not a moment too soon too. Zach Auguste was NOT it last game. We need something going on the inside. Hopefully we can see some PnR.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Lol. I made the Tony Parker reference a few pages before. Glad we are on the same page.

That's good news. It was be nice to have a big on the SL roster that's good.
I'm pulling for Bruno after hearing the story about his mom.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Bruno pick and roll with Yam/Pritchard will be really nice. Especially with Nesmith and (don't want to jinx it) what appears to be a Romeo with a 3 point shot on the wings.


I just hope I don't see 30 minutes of Carson Friggin Edwards again.

I think all of our players looked bad due the lack of an interior presence on both ends. I know nothing about Bruno but hopefully he can shore things up enough to allow Langford and Nesmith to show better tonight.

I was pretty impressed with Suggs last night. Ignoring the numbers which were pretty damn good, he just looks as NBA ready as any rookie I’ve ever seen. He is a defensive difference maker already at the SL level and he has the poise of a veteran NBA PG. His ceiling may not be as high as the other top 5 guys but Orlando is set at PG for the next 10 years barring injury.

We will still play mostly PGs and SGs, though.
Carsen Edwards at SF, get hype!

A third year lottery pick player like Romeo should be dominating and set himself apart in summer league. Guy just doesn't have what it takes.

Look for Bruno to be held out of the game.

Celtics or looking to trade Dunn and maybe Bruno as well, so they can sign Schroder for more than the $5.9 million they clearly have room for.
