    I sense the projection, and you’re right, I don’t believe you. We both know why, no need to go any deeper about it.

    I get that. But some of those drives, layups and dunks show real athleticism. I didn’t know he had that in his game.

    He has Connaughton athleticism. When he gets some room or gets an open lane he looks athletic, but he's unable to use his athleticism to create space or consistently attack. He has a slow first step and doesn't change directions quickly, much like Connaughton.

    Also, he's 6'6.5 in shoes.. he's not getting that high on any of those dunks. The posterizing ones he had the shot blocker was either way above him and missed the ball (Ibaka) or jumped way too late (Turner).

    Was just out at the Practice Facility for my annual flu shot. The boys were going at it out there. Great seeing them back at it, getting in some quality runs. Zach Collins looks BIG!

    Gary wore a leg sleeve during summer league but it was on the other leg...unless the camera is flipping things around.



    Gary also wore a leg sleeve on the other leg too in college....

    Detective Colombo checking in. It’s all fresh ink he had done in the summer. He also filled out his left arm. I think it’d look better if he filled out the other side of his body as well, but still looks pretty cool imo.

    Now if he could do something about that haircut..

    I think tattoos are stupid now. I have 2 and regret both of them.

    They used to be cool but now everyone has them.

    The only thing related to 3s this rookie will be hitting this season is the number of vets bags he's taking to rooms on road trips. Or cups of gatorade he'll hand out each time out.
