    Weirdest thing about Swanigan is he’s supposed to have a crazy work ethic. But he still looks out of shape and his game hasn’t improved. What’s the deal?

    It's like he has to work so hard just to not be fat that it makes him look lazy.

    I prefer you read it in Larry David’s voice.

    Let me ask you something, is he a bust?

    Caleb has bust written all over him. I'll still root for him too improve though. He could still prove me wrong.

    but really we've said that about most of our guys entering the second season...Barton, Connaughton, Layman, etc....the kid is a project but a really good rebounder

    No he doesn't. He has "summer league is a guard driven league" written all over him.

    Doesn’t excuse his butterfinger turnovers and a complete lack of explosion, play strength, and lateral movement.

    turnovers aren't a parameter for a young player...lot of great players turn the ball over a lot....Harden, CP3, Steve Nash all turned the ball over because they attempted risky passes...also this roster doesn't have the history to have chemistry yet...know where they need the ball, etc....he made up for it rebounding. Sure he made some mistakes.....it's summer league
