    That fearlessness (if thats a word) to pull up and take the 3 is part of what reminds me of Chauncey.

    You don't have to sell me on him. I was with you on the Lillard thing before the draft. Love his videos against Big Sky people, and love him more now after watching him in the first two games of summer league.

    This kid is just a step above the other 9 players on the court. Just the reads he makes and the way he carries himself, you can tell he is in complete control.

    He realizes that he doesn't have to worry about Machado shooting the ball. Because he never does.

    Too close to call. It's like a ten way tie last I checked.

    Nolan Smith looks like the tweener off the bench I was hoping he'd be.

    He can still get off his own shot, which is an NBA skill.

    I gotta say, I rag on him a lot. But, Nolan Smith has impressed me so far in the SL. Its when he plays more athletic players though when I worry about him.

    Tried to tell people last year that were ragging on Nolan that he was being used in a role that didn't fit his strengths

    Motiejunas is showing off moves that I haven't seen from a center in a while. I think he could be pretty damn good next season for Houston. They have to feel pretty good about their future with Lamb, Ross, Motiejunas, and Royce White.
