    Can we find a 2-way roster spot for Jarnell Stokes? This dude is everywhere.

    If we're signing someone we think might actually play this year, then probably Johnson. He at least seems to have NBA talent. He can get and make shots and has some athletic ability.

    If we're signing someone to stash away and develop, then probably Cleveland. I think he's the youngest of the batch.

    But I'd rather not sign any of them.

    I know Layman's shot is not falling - but he is fun to watch.

    Layman shoots too many contested 3s

    Would rather have that than Crabbe that does not shoot enough.

    It's like these summer league guards are actively trying to avoid giving Swanigan the ball in good positions.

    All of our guards are horrible and don't deserve to be on an NBA roster.

    You'd rather have 2 for 9 3pt shooting than 2 for 5???

    Once Collins and Pat go down, they start winning. Coincidence?

    *Half joking*

    The question is: do any of them even belong on a G League team?

    These game time interviews during Summer League are so fucking boring I feel like I am listening to baseball commentary.

    No, I would rather have a guy that will do his job. On this team, Layman's job is to try and score - and he does it even if they are not falling. Crabbe is a shooter that does not shoot enough. That's someone that does not do his job as he should.

    Maybe Nick Johnson since he actually has an NBA skill.

    But honestly can we get Jarnell Stokes in a Blazers uniform? He'll play better than Meyers while making 15x less money.

    Jake is going to get there. He just needs some more seasoning. Preferably with garlic....

    I think we are playing better basketball than them, but don't have the shooters.

    Why do I get the feeling the league has San Antonio on higher priority than us?

    That's the only thing I care about. Last game he didn't play with as much energy despite the numbers.
