    All these guys are playing for a job and a roster spot. I like that Frazier is aggressive. He's 6 ft and change..Vonleh shouldn't have to give up any rebounding ground at all.

    I like aggressive, I don't like when someone is trying to pad their stats at the expense of the team.

    Vonleh's defense has been REALLY impressive tbh.

    The one issue I see is that he's kind of slow reading the game. For example when he catches the rebound he'll take a few seconds to look for an outlet pass instead of instinctively throwing one. A lot of things like this just makes him seem behind mentally. Hopefully that improves as he gets older.

    He doesn't seem to make a lot of stupid mistakes though. I haven't seen a lot of careless plays, which are common for a young guy.

    This roster is pretty far from a well oiled machine..they've played 2.5 games together.

    This is the first game I've gotten to watch any of, and so far I'm feeling pretty good about the 4 guys who are going to be on the squad. Didn't see Montero--is he not playing anymore?

    I'm just posting what I see. The knock on Vonleh coming into the league was that he doesn't have a great feel for the game, and I can see it.

    Well, that dribble drive into traffic was pretty careless...

    So given the fact that Montero will be on this team next year, why isnt he getting burn in summer league?

    That was a nice pass from Orton though.

    Anderson is basically the summer league version of James Harden. That's why I hate him so much.
