    Apparently it's AJ Green of the Bucks (and I am a GREAT estimater of heights)

    Also, the guard in the Sixers t-shirt that was killing everybody was Ricky Council.

    Yes. Murray impressed the most, made his shots and played good D. I thought Banton looked good. The opposing team seemed to be making a lot of shots.

    Scoot has trouble getting to the hoop and still hesitant shooting. He push's the ball good but I think struggles taking someone off the dribble unless it's a big. If he can get to where he averages 10 apg, & maybe 6-10 points he will meet my expectations of this coming year.

    If 10 apg only "meets" your expectations, you should probably adjust them. That would have been 2nd in the league last year (I guess 3rd counting Trae).

    So you’re ACTUALLY forming an opinion good or bad on these players based on fucking pick up runs?

    14/5/3 in 28 minutes a games as a 19 year old…..I’ll give him some time before I actually have expectations. We will win 20 games this season regardless of what numbers he puts up, so I’ll wait 2 more seasons to see how he’s doing.

    Agree he will need a couple more years to get an overall game but what he can do best now is distribute dimes. We have enough scorers with Ayton, Simons, Grant & Deni & Shae. I like the way he pushes the ball up court and if he concentrates more on D rather than scoring, he'll be on his way, possibly? He should play to his strengths which is being a legit pg.

    If he gets consistent 28 mpg zi think he could get close if his primary role is to be a legit distributing pg. After a few season he should easily get close too 10 apg if he's a starter. The league now is primarily scoring point guards and very few legit distributing pg's. Just my usual optimistic view on game Ive followed for many moons.

    Where did I state ANY opinion?

    I made a factual statement that Sharpe didn't do anything in the film shown.

    Being too passive is something that we have seen repeatedly over the last 2 seasons. I was specifically looking to see if he is trying to address it. In the limited video that we saw - the answer is no..... but in no way am I forming an opinion from this film.

    But it wasn’t a factual statement
