    Never thought he'd be active this year, never mind get playing time, but Frazier has been ineffective and was benched in favor of luis vs the clippers. Could montero work his way into a role, albeit a small one by years end?

    The only one reason he played was because the CJ debacle...he wasn't even suppose to be active. Other then garbage time...or if we are so far out of the playoffs that we just want to take him for a test drive then I don't see him playing much...or injury

    Who's more likely to have even a minor NBA career: Montero or Connaughton?

    I think Montero has potential we just need to give him a chance. He has way more potential than Frazier

    I don't even know why Connaughton is on the roster. There must be something I'm missing.

    Or Frazier.

    Maybe Paul Allen invested in a company that can see the future and Pat will end up shooting 60 percent from three.

    Yeah the 20 mop up minutes or whatever he's played this season really gives you an idea of who he is as a player.

    There is so much talent going around in Europe and even America, guys who played in pro leagues for years. I really don't see why we have to waste our time with Pat,Montero,Alexander,Frazier and Kaman. That's way too many roster spots "invested" on 'maybes' imo.

    I trust Olsheys talent evaluation and so should you.

    I see what you did there.

    No, he barely resembled a basketball player in SL though. No D whatsoever. He'll be filler in a trade methinks.

    Taking a flyer on Cliff Alexander is a good move. Very little risk there.

    If we have to trust authority, that pretty much puts an end to the message board. Nothing to talk about.

    Yea, he's the one who bothers me the least.
    I just think 5 guys who probably won't be a part of future plans is too much.

    What's the difference between Crabbe 2 years ago and Connaughton now? Who's to say that he doesn't have an NBA future?

    Crabbe was considered to be a standout shooter in college,named All-American,Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and then Pac-12 Player of the Year in his junior year.

    I'm not saying Pat will be a bad player, but is there something he's actually good at right now?

    I'm confused--are we talking about their collegiate accolades, or their professional performance? Because as of this point two years ago, Crabbe was just a 2nd-round pick who had done nothing in the NBA, just like Connaughton.

    Yes, 2 players who don't play a minute in the NBA will have similar stats, you win.
