    Yeah, I think that's weird. If you're going to play him then play him and try to win the SL title... if not why even have him start the game?

    Last game he was really really good. So I would chalk it up to getting used to a new system but I guess we'll wait and see. I really like the skills he's shown.

    He’s bricking wide open threes. Hopefully he can fix that.

    I could see Shae play in our last game. They just figured it wasn’t worth playing him in a blowout.

    Every team has to have at least one tiny chucker in summer league. He was the one that we were issued.

    I think you're going to be surprised when he gets acclimated. He's going to be a good player for us. He just isn't shooting well tonight.

    well, I would assume there's a reason why one was a lotto pick and the other wasn't.

    4 boards, 9 points, 2 steals, 1 assist....with poor shooting tonight he's still a +8 and has played decent defense...he'll click. He's cold shooting tonight is all.

    It is if we need more points to make the playoffs.

    I hope so. He had a 20 point game the other night. It wasn't a pretty 20 point game, but it was a 20 point game.

    Walker has 3rd double double in 4 games. Still not done today, though.
