    He was the 3rd pick in the draft... he sure as fuck should be ready for the NBA.

    He's shown a lot of good stuff on D. But offense has been BAD. I'm not too concern tho, he will develop his body

    When does Neil give Layman his 80 million dollar contact?

    The only good thing ive seen is Collins defense, that is real and tangible NBA skill, everything else just garbage

    That's a foul? Really? Tatum lowers his shoulder and dislodges Layman, and that's a foul on Layman? Should have been a no-call.

    Another nice pass from Jorge.....to a guy who will never play in the NBA that promptly missed the shot. Still a good pass.

    That's literally the one thing he's supposed to be able to do.

    I'd argue that if you're going to spend the 10th pick on a 19 year old, he should be ready for the NBA too, but that's just my personal philosophy on the draft...

    literally every possession pat is doing something inching him closer to the end of his pro basketball career

    If I was coaching the shit, I would be all over these refs. I would get tossed.

    I don't understand Jake's shot.
    I wouldn't consider him a shooter.

    He can only do it when he's standing still and wide open. Sometimes. Same as Pat. If Layman gets rushed at all or is off balance, he's throwing up airballs or accidentally banking it off the backboard.

    That's my opinion as well. I would feel a lot better about Collins if we had taken him at #15 and still had the 20th to use on someone.
