    More passes are resulting in more turnovers, not more assists.

    Looks like Dennis Smith will be filling that void of 6'2" players we have on our roster.

    Can someone tell me why are we keeping Blevins or Elleby over Dennis Smith Jr?

    Ant it's NOT a PG.
    1 assist in 3 quarters? You Billups accidentally run into that many.... unless your last name is Blevins and then you are 23 minutes of complete cluelessness.

    Blevins in 24 minutes has picked up a foul and no other stats. Lol

    When he was actually asked to play the PG role last game, he did ok. Tonight Smith is the PG, so Ant is doing his CJ impersonation.

    What does it matter if I'm used to that type of play or not? I'm not the one turning the ball over.

    In the long and storied history of meaningless preseason games - this may be the most!

    There's only two other players besides the 3 rotation players that deserve an NBA roster spot: Brown and DSJ.

    been watching on and off-- had to run errands.

    but if our open spot goes to anyone but smith, it would not be for basketball reasons. this dude might climb into our top 9 in the rotation and somewhat undo the disaster that is keljin blevins.

    Playing Blevins and Elleby is detrimental to the development of everyone else on the floor. Even the other team and the refs.

    Agreed DJS will get the 14th roster spot, but if he's in the top 9 of our rotation, our off-season acquisitions will have been a total failure.

    If they are planning to give Dame or CJ any rest games this year, they need DSJ.
