    Boy. Maryland fans told me that Layman was the last man on selfish team. Didn't believe them. Guess it sucks to play with Diamond Stone and co.

    Layman = Claver/Casspi mix. Maybe a bit of Ariza

    Vonleh with the nice finger roll inside, then plays great defense on Anderson to force a bad shot. Looks like he is getting a rhythm.

    If Vonleh could shoot just a little better it'd open up his scoring prowess so much. If he was a 35%+ 3pt shooter guys would have to jump all the way out, and he would get by them easily without his wild crossovers (which get him into the most trouble). Once he gets going at the rim he's really hard to stop.

    Ah that makes sense. For some reason I thought you were talking about the regular season, and then I was wondering if you were talking about the Spurs dominating the regular season. My bad.

    But since it's the Spurs I'd bet they wanted a guy who is somewhat established with the team there.

    Game speed is his issue. He has the skill, needs to confidence to catch up

    Layman might be the only guy with a chance to play this year. Hes solid on both ends. I like the Ariza comp

    I think it's safe to say Smith is a slasher.

    Cut Russ Smith now just so someone else can get some shots. Good grief.

    Russ Smith is a shoot first, shoot second, shoot third guard.

    I hate San Antonio so much. They are such a bunch of over proud jerks. It's a practice game guys!

    Layman's form is beautiful. He'll be a good NBA shooter.
