    No and how's that going to work for the Spurs' game plan? You have to hit the floor to flop.

    Really happy with the SL team even though they're 1-2!
    Why? The four guys I care about Crabbe, PatC, Frazier, Vonleh have had a positive +/- in all 3 games (except Vonleh who had a positive +/- in both of the games he played in). That includes the games when we turned the ball over like mad, and the one in which we fouled like mad. Bottom line, it didn't matter the circumstance, our guys outplayed the other team's best players consistently. The bench players OTOH, well yikes....

    He's a baseball pitcher with flabby arms. He needs to get those arms more flexible like rubber bands, unless they're already permanently damaged.

    Who's the head coach of the SL team? I really like how the team is playing and the coaching decisions.

    Frazier isn't a guy you want to have to rely on for his offense. But you can rely on him to make offense. And he's good at that. And he does have a shot over 5' as he hit about an 18' pull up jumper last game.

    Frazier needs to be on a team with at least 2 legit scorers, if not 3. He comes in, spells Lillard, can run the offense effectively, but he's there to get others the ball, not score it himself.

    Nate Tibbetts and Dale Osbourne are the co-head coaches, I believe

    I'd like to see Pat C in the pre-season against NBA competition before crowning him as a rotational player. He's looked very underwhelming so far. Vonleh has been the most impressive. I still think Portland should go after Sergio.

    Vonleh is the only guy on our SL roster that has top-tier starter potential. He may never be an All-Star (I won't say he will not be one, though), but I could see him being a very valuable starter on a quality team.

    I'm not hating on the others...... I could see a few of the guys being solid rotation guys (Pat, Frazier, Crabbe), but from what I'm seeing, Vonleh is the one with the highest ceiling, and by far.

    ell, if they can retain his rights some
    I'm gonna be surprised if he is taking up a place on the roster. If there is some way they could keep control of him and have him play D-league or in Europe, i am sure they would do that. But then again, maybe they think they actually have more flexibility for trades if he is on the roster.
