    Team overall looks a little out of it. Wade needs to take control and up the intensity on both ends.

    Swanigan needs to stop acting like he’s a fucking point guard.

    Trent will need to drop 30 lbs or so.

    And that was Simon's man to block out on that play. I'm sure the coaches will bring that up when watching tape with him.

    Looking for growth from the players at SL
    Didn't have a lot of tools for FA
    Looking to trade market to bolster our "top 9" (prediction--this is him setting up an excuse for why he doesn't use the TPE)
    Playoffs were bad matchup, injuries to Moe/Turner played a part.

    So yeah, typical BS.

    Swanigan sadly offers nothing outside of effort on the boards

    That can be a negative if you're so bad offensively that your man just double teams the guy you screened for. See: Ed Davis pick and rolls in the playoffs.

    I have to admit, I am unreasonably amused by these "starters" guys talking about the TV show Blossom.

    It's a summer league tradition ;)

    Part of summer league is it gives players a chance to experiment and work on things and stretch their abilities. In college it sounds like he was mostly a spot up shooter. He's going to have to be able to get some of these shots off in the big leagues, so now is the time to work on it. I just thought his shot selection was iffy in the first two games, but hey, it's summer league.

    :cheers:
