    The thing about clingan he needs approve on hand strength and he needs grab rebounds with two he hands he tips the ball to much. He also needs to get stronger due he looses rebounds that should be gettable boards. The good thing about him he is a winner and if you notice he don't have to jump majority of the time to block a shot. His offense will probably improve with better players around him so I am not to worry about that right now. But he not ready to start on this team and they shouldn't rush him either. Backup minutes behind ayton will let him improve on his pace.

    I think Murray will look better with better players on the floor with him. But he not having good summer but again you guards are not very good.

    Went to the game tonight was just behind the bench!

    notes:

    DA, Shaedon, Dalano, Camara, RWill3, Coach Chauncey were all courtside filling up an entire section cheering on the summer team and the wizards had… Jordan Poole there lol. Was a little hilarious how one franchise takes things seriously.

    Against Sarr tonight it was clear who was the true center. Sarr feels like a guard when Donovan was out there. One player actually posting up every chance a smaller guy gets put on them… that would be our boy. It’s funny people thought Sarr was actually better somehow. I’d like to see an argument about any part of the game that is clear at this point.

    I think Sarr has the edge on conditioning just using the eyeball test . But that should take care of itself. By December Donovan will probably be fighting trim.

    Murray will not look good until he can shoot & make 3-pointers.

    definition of hopium. He is no Bam Adebayo. Just a tall piece of Kleenex.

    I see why Washington fans are calling him a bust.

    2 fouls, but they weren’t called.

    Another solid defensive game by Clingan.

    Sarr had 0 points on 0-15 shooting.

    Has a #2 pick ever been sent to the G-League for their entire rookie season ??

    OPEN 3-pointers. He's not even coming close on most of those.

    1) CK is a real quarterback for the defense. He's not just guarding his man, he's guarding the paint, and telling his teammates what's going on - he's moving a lot even when the ball is at the 3 point line.

    2) Again, opposing players are thinking twice about challenging him in the paint.

    3) I'm pretty sure that after 3 games he's leading the league in both rebounding and blocked shots. I'll check again tomorrow when the stats are updated: https://www.nba.com/2024-summer-league-player-stats?dir=D&sort=REB
