Wow, presumably in the pool because guys like Vonleh and Ezeli can't do certain activities. But no problem when we got Dame, he'll find a way to include everybody!
Is it just me or do Evan and Festus already look like they're real Blazers (you know what I mean... culture/chemistry-wise)? I'm so excited for the season to start I'm really starting to question my own priorities!
