Reality has set in... CJ might be the best player in summer league. TRob can not only be an elite rebounder, but he blocks shots as well. ML sucks, but we might not need to rely too much on him. Perhaps another season will help.
If we didn't have Batum, I would start Claver. Not because he is great, but because he looks like a player who would fit in well with other starters, much more so than with other bench players. He still needs to finish better and hit improve his 3 pt shot, but he does so many little things well. He is very "complimentary" I disagree with whoever said he was more of a 4 than a 3. He moves well enough to play sf too.
I think it really started up because the "secret draft room footage" had Claver on the depth chart as a third string backup 4.
The reality setting in I see is: * CJ will turn out to be a good value pick for #10 * Leonard wont be meaningful NBA calibre for another few years, if at all * Signing Freeland to that contract was a mistake * This team needs defensive and big man coaching help
My thoughts like I posted earlier.. If we have to ever count on any of these summer league guys for big minutes the season is gonna be a wash CJ and Robinson are the only guys I think that might have a few decent nights. That's being extremely generous.
One thing to remember. Stotts will be mixing and matching the newbs with starters, as evidenced by last years rotations. Some of these guys who look weak in summer league will play better in the right unit/supporting cast.
We are just fine without any trolls. We have enough diverse posters in this forum who want to talk about basketball without the need to provoke readers into an emotional responses. Life is too short to be subjected to that bullshit.
