    Probably Brown III to a two way and Beasley, Faried, and Mudiay to the roster.

    nah, brown will be on the active roster, he’s too cheap not to be and they need at least 14 players. I doubt any of those guys get a contract.

    Holy shit Jay Scrub is really 3/18 shooting. Wasn't there some big hoo-hah about us being really tied to this guy last year? Everyone thought we were going to draft him.

    Watford 5 assists to lead the team. I like having a playmaking forward. When he is in, it seems like guys get open 3's.

    Using the second two way on Brown would be a huge mistake. He would be an RFA after this season. Considering we traded a future second to get him, you want to sign him for as long and as cheap of a deal as possible. Even if that means dipping into the MLE to do it.

    Then it will be King probably on the 2 way and Brown and two of Beasley, Faried, and Mudiay on the roster

    The second two way and the remaining roster spots don't have to come from the SL team. I've not been impressed with anyone except Brown. Beasley's decision making has been good, but I don't know if he's worth a roster spot.

    Who else is Olshey going to get? Milsap will likely ring chase elsewhere. He's not going to have anyone left.

    Might leave a space open

    We only need to sign one more player, but I would hope he uses the full TPMLE on whoever it is so we have a salary filler to use during the season.

    He’s gonna make a 2-1 trade or sign someone not named faried mudiay or Beasley.

    Occupation:
    Saying this for years
    As already as has been noted, several guys on this team are good enough and intriguing enough to fill the last couple of roster spots on the regular team. There even are roles they could easily fit.

    Beasley actually plays almost the same game offensively as Melo now, but he might be a little better right under the basket. Three-level scorer, can do damage with his back to the basket when you have a team going small or want to slow pace. Except he's not going to dribble the air out of the ball like Melo and he's your ninth or tenth man, not your sixth or seventh.

    Blakeney's scoring touch makes me wish we had a spot for him. TBH, I'm not sure if he might not be a better fit than McLemore. I like the Snell signing, but I still haven't quite understood picking up McLemore.

    Brown looks like a player. So athletic, but he hasn't forced anything in summer league like so many young guys. Shot looks better mechanically than it did in college. I think he might really be the big beneficiary from playing with all the experienced guys.
