    Montero needs TONS of work. Like 5 solid years of putting in time to learn the game and bulk up.

    His mental game is way behind his skill level. He's a project. I'm not really worried about summer league stats.

    Montero is so raw, I actually saw a ref have to tell him that there could only be three guys inside the circle during the foul shots.

    Earlier, he did a step back move, was wide open, but much to my dismay, he still opted for the fadeaway. He swished the shot though. Maybe that's just how he shoots. :dunno:

    Montero is supposed to look raw. He's supposed to struggle. But between those struggles you see his talent. You see his length. And you see someone you can develop because 6'7 guys with a handle don't grow on trees

    Agreed, but the foundation is there. Not sure if he will reach it with us, or ever.

    Why does Montero fadeaway on every jumper

    Pat leaves a lot of shots short. Still adjusting to the NBA 3?

    My guess is that before now, his competition were probably all either too short or unathletic to block it, so he probably learned he could get that shot off whenever he wanted. Gotta break that habit and take better shots.

    I predict that you are completely wrong about that.

    Considering Towns has 5 points from foul shots, I think Vonleh has played him point for point.

    He left it short a bunch of times in the last game too. Not sure if he's adjusting to the longer range or an endurance problem. Hopefully, he'll get it figured out by the regular season. Our team really needs sharpshooters
