What happened to Hawkins?
Reed Sheppard, gotta be one of the most overhyped prospects in recent memory.

Half the time he doesn't look like an NBA player.

Well maybe Whitehead will pop for them.

What would it take to get Duop Reath from the Blazers? Probably not much

This might be nothing... but it looked like in the footage from practice today Karlo was scrimmaging with the 1's.

They probably rotate the bigs from practice to practice but that's an interesting lineup. Kid has some skills.

Whoever downvoted the Fears quotes, just get ya trash off the board. People actually want talk basketball.

Shoots right, but he also made a contested left handed hook shot in summer league.... he is such a unique player... I have no idea how it translates but its going to be fun to watch.
I said that Queen looks in shape because he looks in shape. I was being positive. If you know anything about DQ, his body/fitness has come a long way since high school....much like Naz. This is encouraging, bc he was not in peak form at summer league. This was obvious to everyone.

Dumars was quoted as saying "There is nothing wrong with his legs" inferring he expected DQ to work on cardio.

I am excited to see both rookies. I actually think we are going to shock the league... and I say regardless of the rookie's contribution. Anything we get from the rooks is lagniappe.

Queen looks surprisingly slim and Fears looks a like he has been in weight room.

What I think:

Zion if its going to happen this is it. Hopefully this Joe/Z connection is real.

Trey is going to blow up. I actually think he has underperformed shooting wise to what his potential is. He shot 36% I think he should be right at or over 40%.

Poole, I think he is going to be fun to watch.

It may start out slow, buy I think eventually Queen is going to have some real moments vs back up centers.


Missi has worked his arse off in the offseason. He is going to be better. Is that good enough? Who knows.

Boldest take: everyone has given up on Hawk. I remember it took JJ Reddick a few yrs in Orlando to figure it out. I think Hawkins shoots it better from 3 this year.

What I don't have any feel on:

No idea what Fears gives you. Might have a season in the g league alla Reed Sheppard

No idea what DJ looks like post achilles.

No idea if this team can defend enough to win.

Why they brought back Willie....


Missi Afrobasket Highlights

Some nice counter moves and his handle looks lower/tighter.

It's the offseason. Missi afrobasket

Zion, Poole, Herb, Trey, Queen

I don't know how that works on boards / D, but mannnn...I would buy a ticket to see that offense.
Hear me out…

Anyone who has ever mentored a young colleague knows what I'm talking about

Sometimes in life, when you finally start doing the things others have been urging you to do (like Zion finally focusing on conditioning), the best thing that can happen is getting the chance to mentor someone facing the same struggle (like Queens).

Teaching someone else holds you accountable — it reinforces your own growth because you now feel a responsibility to lead by example.



Who are these refs? Weird arse calls.

Minnesota always has a super aggressive ...handsy....summer league team.
Beringer was one of those Giannis like films where you watch it and question if what your seeing is real.

He is not going to be Giannis but kid is a freak
Fears vs Dillingham is a fun matchup.

I love Minnesota's roster. They even have the monster Aussie I wanted us to draft
The market for Kuminga is nonexistent. No one wants to pay him what he wants.

Meanwhile, every team in the league is interested in Herb and Trey. Not only their talent , but their contracts.
Kuminga would cost more than Herb & Trey and they are far better players. Soooo I'm not seeing it, but hey we are doing weird sh!t.

Looney signing was fine. Would have preferred Kornet but Looney rebounds and is physical. This is a big bet on Missi taking a step up in year 2. It could happen.
