    Caleb shouldn't be asked to dribble, and in most cases, play.

    Can kinda see why McDaniels has been on so many teams. Super athletic, but doesn't really seem to have a good feel for the game.

    Dude. You don't get it. People take it personally when I say one bad thing about Swanigan, and call me out over it. I defend myself. HOW do I start that? I ask what post(s) were the problem, nobody pointed anything out. Yet yall still think I'M the one who caused everything. I'm fed up with being called doubt over the prettiest crap then BLAMED for it.

    I'm done talking about it. If you don't want to talk about it, then let's not talk about it. Conversation over. If nobody wants to talk about it, then don't mention it. Simple.

    I like what I see so far from him, big disappointment is Caleb, slow and pondering with hand of stone inside and shot gets easily blocked, oh well

    The toughest part about SL is that I just want to watch Wade/Simons/Trent/Collins/Layman/Caleb. That's it. The rest of them are...... just not worth watching.

    Although if you had Aminu or Harkless out there in summer league... would they dominate? I don't think they would. But yes I agree this is his 3rd summer, so it is now or never. But I don't think he needs to dominate. Just needs to look good. Having a PG like Baldwin sure helps these guys though. Less scrambling to get into the offense like years past.

    watching PapaG play basketball is like watching me play basketball. It should only be done with your eyes closed and without the sound on.

    I think Harkless might be able to. Aminu...... not sure. But neither of them are really shooters like Layman. They're spot up guys. They need a point guard. Layman should be able to get his own buckets. He is filling the role that Crabbe did. Can spot up, can catch and shoot off a curl. Can dribble and pull up.

    Yeah, I get it. You can NEVER let anything go. Fine, you win. I'm out. Time to put the tablet down and just watch, and enjoy the game. Thanks for reminding me why I rarely participate in game threads.

    It's Monday morning here, so my only libation is coffee. I really need something stronger to make it through a whole summer league game.
