    It can't be an argument between scoot and ant if it's actually grant

    Gotta be tough being the (significantly) less-talented twin, then thinking you might have found a spot where you might be able to grow and shine, and then getting outplayed by a second-rounder whom your team didn't even draft.

    He's only 23 years old too. I thought he was older. Maybe we got him at the right time of his development.

    Ayton is pretty expensive if he can't do a lot more than Brown.

    What? You mean tonight?
    Will Sharpe play? Give him 48 minutes. That would be nice for him.

    Nothing's guaranteed. Look at Kevin Knox. How does he feel? He was the 9th pick overall.

    Scoot is trying to involve the team.

    He could just as easily be running the floor by himself.

    Murray did dribble out of a harassing defense and make a nice pass to Camara on the baseline.

    But Murray has looked pretty bland from the first game in summer league compared to Camara.

    Still early in his NBA career though.

    Augmon's defense was fantastic. I think Rupert is a better ball handler than Augmon was.

    No, at that time when I posted it, we had like the super scrub lineup out there. I think it was Mays, Rupert, Minaya, Reath and Knox.

    When Murray was selected, I was happy. His college stats and tape looked good … like his brother — Keegan’s play from year 1 to year 2 and Kris from year 2 to 3. By the end of year 1, I look forward to seeing how Kris develops as a pro. He’s not flashy. Or hyper athletic. He just makes basketball plays. For both Murray brothers, I don’t really think about floors and ceilings as players. It’s more about being glad one of them is a Blazer.
