    He's shown the ability to stop dribble penetration by the #3 pick in the draft when 1 on 1. He's shown the ability to deny this kids entry pass, and the contest at the rim with arms up while when the ball was rotated. He's shown passing ability.
    You're pretty off.

    That's the thing with this entire summer league roster. None of these guys are anything more than future role players.

    Prolly would have more if guys like Layman, Pat, the other guards would actually look to pass instead of try to make sportscenter.

    I'm not seeing it yet. He can grab boards, but he doesn't have much offensive game. You have to think that the competition is going to become more difficult by 10x in the regular season. If simply being a hustle player was enough to succeed in the NBA, there would be a lot more hustle players. He's pretty slow. I don't see much foot speed. Vonleh dominated summer league.

    Him only playing 17 mpg had me a bit worried, kinda seemed he was used as the sub to come in and wreck the bench squads of the basketball powerhouse that is the WCC.

    I'm not saying he's going to start, I am saying he's showing nba ready transferable skills that will get him minutes in the league.
    These things are very obvious.

    Since I wasn't expecting much from Collins this season, I'm not worried about his performance in the games.

    I was, however, impressed with Caleb. His game isn't based on being more talented, taller or faster, but going balls to the wall.

    I still think (hope) Collins will end up having a better career, but I wouldn't be surprised if Caleb has the better rookie year. Course, it is a wee bit early to make any real declarations for either.

    But but but he is 19! And skinny!

    ... not like skinny 19 year olds with average measurements aren't hard to find in the late 1st/early 2nd...

    Biggie with a good look at the rim but can't finish. He is really struggling to finish over players his size in two games so far.

    I also think Collins is in his own head, hopefully not Meyers type mental but at least he knew after last nights game he did bad unlike Meyers who completely avoids responsibility of his play

    I look at Layman and Connaughton and I just have to wonder what anyone saw that made them think "NBA player!"
