    You obviously don't know what 15 lbs of muscle looks like!

    Yeah? You’re probably right… but, why don’t you enlighten us with your omnipresent knowledge of a future reality, then, and spare us all the trouble?

    Really good for a guy his size putting the ball on the floor and going to the hoop.
    I'd like to see the defender back off him and make him shoot from outside.

    I see a 6-8 year rebuild at least.

    Miller had a rough outing.

    ended up with 18/5/3 in 34 mins on decent shooting but also had 6 TOs and 7 fouls.

    didn't watch though

    He was much worse than his stats suggest, but in the end he can really shoot the open 3.

    From my perspective his numbers looked better than his actual play. I did watch.

    I'm certainly not ready to write him off or declare him a homerun #2 pick.

    Chet has exceeded my expectations. Granted, they weren't super high, but his length is a problem.

    Got better as the game went on.

    Had some really dumb fouls.

    Don’t know why they’re using him as a PnR ball handler. Clearly his weakness at the moment. So maybe that’s why they’re doing it but made some bad decisions.

    Shot 43%(!!) from 3 (7 shots). 71% from the line (ouch, expected better) on 7 attempts and 45% overall.

    Was a bit disappointed defensively.

    Im happy for Sac fan and impressed as hell for how the city has supported them even in very tough times.
    They’ve got an owner group thats committed and a new well experienced coach.

    Honestly it's for the best. We were going nowhere with Dame. It was obvious. At least we can start building with a plan in shape now, and mold the team to a vision.

    I agree (and I say that as someone who didn't want to see him traded). They went as far as they were going to go with him, due to boneheaded mistakes that Olshey made, so it made little sense to trade away assets galore for a middle of the run end result.

    The projections for the team honestly ended when LA left as a free agent. Everything since has just been treading water.

    Even the WCF's run in 19 seemed flukish.
