    I'd take Mash from a 2nd round pick.

    I know there are a million play that impact the outcome of a game but it just occurred to me that Shaedon's missed dunk cost us 2 points

    In times like this we should put Dame on the summer league team to increase his trade value even further

    Look forward to this for days. Starts off great. Then Keon gets hurt. Then SCOOT gets hurt. Then Jabari Smith can't miss. Then the officials think the national TV audience tuned in to watch them. Then we can't throw a lob, Shaedon misses a breakaway dunk and we crew up a lob that could have either run out the clock or iced the game and give up the game-winning 3 at the buzzer.

    Fully expecting at this point to get news tonight that Cronin consummated the trade to the Heat just for a few second round picks, then resigned to run a food shack at the beach at Waikiki.

    That's much pretty standard, you'd have to be 20ft tall with wingspan to match to dunk while standing behind the 3pt line.

    He had 33/7/3 .

    That’s not good? You ever watch this game before?

    Cool? He looked like ass when I posted that. He couldn’t score on the statue that was #68.

    I didn’t say he *was* the worst player on the floor.

    too much "coasting" from Shae for me, and please no "summer league" excuse. develop good habits or bad habits. He has some maturing to do and hopefully Scoot gets on his ass

    it's dumb to draw conclusions from summer league, especially one game...so some dumb thoughts

    * Scoot looked the part we hope he plays. I did think he seemed to have some trouble seeing the floor to his right, which is weird being a right-hander

    * Sharpe seemed to float and drift a lot. Didn't really engage till the 4th Q

    * Walker looked improved...but foul prone

    * Badji did not impress me, but SL isn't the best venue for bigs...still...

    * Murray may be a shooter; and he may not have a lot more to his game. Hard to tell

    * Rupert looked like he was 3 years away from being 2 years away

    * Antoine Davis is a chucker

    * rather have Reath as the hopeless project big than Butler

    And if the night wasn't lousy enough, of course Doris Burke would be calling the next game.

    so, ESPN hyped the living shit out of the Wemby/Spurs game and it's a giant stinker so far. Teams have combined for 26% shooting and 49 total points with 4 minutes let in the half

    Looks like I picked the wrong night to quit taking amphetamines.
