    I think Neil ought to make a run at Gobert. Amazingly they still view Kanter as their COTF.

    Gobert = young Tyson Chandler.

    Gobert is going to be a great center, love his game. Watched him when he played for France with Nico and he's better now

    I thought Neil should have made a run at Gobert in the draft.

    Leonard has a long way to go, but he's working on it.

    Leonard needs to stay on his feet when someone pump fakes him. Sheesh.

    I've lost any hope I may have had for Crabbe.

    CJ is about where I thought he should be last year.

    Will Barton is fool's gold.

    Freeland has peaked.

    TRob was our summer league MVP.

    Despite our high hopes, our summer league team sucked.

    What'd I learn? Stotts is smart enough to put CJ in a position where he could succeed instead of trying to force PG duties onto him. I suspect that after he has shown to be a successful part of the rotation, he'll start practicing the PG duties.

    We learned that Olshey was smart to bring in Kaman and Blake. They're going to be needed.

    I learned that completely ignoring Summer League for the first time in maybe 6 or 7 years was no big loss.

    You're a smart man for not watching. It's pretty much pointless as a viewer.

    I think they consider Favors as more of a C than Kanter.

    That raising the SL championship banner is like comparing the NBA championship to the Special Olympics gold

    Nothing is taken away from the special Olympics, but the talent comparison is about the same

    I learned that I need to accept Jesus Christ as my personal lord and Savior.
