Never been this excited about watching rookies since the 96 draft class

Suggs is a premium version of Josh Hart and might have worse measurements, not sure.

Precious, Scottie, and Flynn are going to be so much fun to watch this summer league. Let's go!

Cade 4/9 from 3, rest of the Piston's roster was 3/26.

Most of the night Cade was playing on the corner which it explains his 0 FT.

He will be fine he just plays with/for a bunch of scrubs lol

Sengun looks legit. Presti looking foolish for doing that deal just for 2 more heavily protected future first founders.

Yep


Summer league often isnt about winning games. Its about experimenting, working on new things/working on weaknesses, evaluating. Maybe the Pistons just want to see how Cade looks off the ball?

More like Detroit were playing pretty bad on defense and offense.

i'll give Sengun some credit - he looks like a man among boys there.

Another inefficient night, more turnovers than assists, 7 fouls. 0 free throws through 2 games and looks smaller than advertised. All while Green looks incredible. Some of y’all would be having nervous breakdowns.

Hell, Scottie had a very good game and a large contingent here is still in shambles because of Suggs’ also looking good.

Summer league hot takes are something else.


if he had our roster, he would look amazing though

Hmm...considering Killian Hayes and Saddique Bey are also day 1 starters...and you're adding Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk as the other 2 starters...it gets a little better for Cade once the season starts...but not much better.

Cade should have tanked his way to 4th pick...where he'd then have FVV, OG and Pascal to dish off to...real basketball players. :lol:

It's always good to hear nice words from former Raps on their time with Toronto.

I wasn't a fan of Casey's parting shots when he left or his inability to take responsibility for the Raps' losses but we don't get to the 'ship with Nurse without the foundation laid by Casey and his coaching staff.

Where’d you see this at?

The Clippers are low key a great fit for Dragic and have the salaries to match.

They have Pat Beverley's expiring which is about 14 million. They'd have to throw in Keon Johnson (and maybe either BJ Boston or Jason Preston) to make it worth our while. Would they rather have 35 year old Dragic or 33 year old Pat Bev?

Oh boy...Keon is really having a rough summer league so far. He was 3-14 shooting last night for only 8 points and a team worst -25. He was 4-16 for 8 points on Monday night.

He's raw...no doubt about it...and this explains why he fell so far in the draft.

Wouldn't Masai be more likely to be scouting Portland than LA?

I’d rather have Kennard. He’s locked into a long term deal at money that isn’t crazy and I think he has ceiling left. Plus he’s only 25. Kennard and Johnson would work, and Johnson could use a year in the G League anyway.

I still think he's going to struggle on defence against actual NBA-level competition, but he looked good last night.

You don't lose weight on a vegan diet. I've been on one for a year and I'm still the same weight.
