    More impressed with Orton today, not scoring, but making better decisions on D today. He won't land in PDX, but I won't be surprised if some team that needs a 15th man snags him. He's so raw he makes Vonleh look like MJ, but he has some raw D abilities.

    I was most impressed with Vonleh that half. The reverse dunk and one was awesome. He certainly does ooze potential. Nice pickup.

    We need a backup PG. Frazier can dish but he can guard a gnat.

    I like how smooth and natural Montero looks handling the basketball. Low risk/moderate reward player who could build a niche for himself on a team in a number of ways.

    Montero has that flash to him that makes him an exciting/intriguing player. Reminds me of Rudy Fernanadez before he went to shit.

    I badly want to see more.

    What shouldn't be lost while watching the game today and over-praising our players is that the competition is awful.

    Has some positives but has yet to hit a shot outside of 5' in two games.

    I'd rather give PT to him than Harkless, who's already almost washed out of the NBA before his rookie deal is up. High reward for the limited risk.

    Vonleh has a really nice skillset, and don't forget that he's a very good shooter.

    I thought we were tanking for a summer league lottery pick?

    Three toed sloths on quaaludes may be slow, but that are surprisingly strong, like George Costanza.

    I see some ability in him, just has too develop his instincts. He is never going to be a great defender, but he could be a good clutch shooter. He AIN'T Mark Price.

    I like Vonleh. He's aggressive.
