    Already a new subreddit up. They also have an "NBA chat" discord, which is basically a hub for the game stream links, which mostly appear to be on Reddit anyway.

    Yeah man.

    He just screams high level role player on contending teams.

    Just fills the gaps on both ends. Tough shot maker too.

    Boston is lucky to have him.

    Do you have a link to the subreddit? I hope you don't HAVE to have discord to get the links.....I'm signed up with enough things already.

    Caleb Swanigan looked good in SL too. They have some of the same deficiencies which arent really punished playing against this level of talent.

    Trent is going out of his mind. I like it. I missed the first quarter, but I caught half of the 2nd.

    And thanks @LuckyShot for the link!

    We'll see

    Both are smart and skilled and their physical deficiencies aren't nearly as extreme or important for their roles.

    Meyers in the crowd with Terry? What? Shouldn't he be in Summer League for Miami?

    I wonder if this means Collins is going to come off the bench for Whiteside.

    I think Simons will be fine at PG but it’s obvious he’s new to the position and will take time to settle in. I know the team is high on him but they should probably go out and add another point guard, along with another big. It’s good to have insurance and competition is never a bad thing.

    CJ was the same way in summer league. I would've never imagined him being capable of bringing the ball up. He would get trapped and turn the ball over a lot.

    It's pretty crazy how much he improved his ball handling. Hopefully Simons does the same thing.

    I saw him at church in Wilsonville this morning. Looks good, but skinny as ever.

    He did play point for 48 minutes of an actual NBA game. only had 2 turnovers, with 9 assists. Summer league is not a good indicator of much.
