yeah, it's probably better experience in person than for the at home viewers. Seems like most of your fun has been with things around the actual SL than with the actual SL games.

BTW I saw this one:



Donovan seems like a good guy.

1000% Donovan is very very very generous with his time and willing to be interrupted... other guys are not. I don’t judge them... I get it but the dudes that do take the time get a huge boost in credit from me. Rudy did something similar yesterday which he doesn’t normally do... security had sent a couple kids away and he told them no he could sign some stuff.

DeAndre hunter and cam reddish completely shut the kids down... which is whatevs... but they were just sitting in the stands not headed anywhere. There are a lot of adults here that chase autographs for eBay so I get why guys don’t do it... it’s just cool that Don will engage, he doesn’t just sign... he talks with the kids. He has done it every time I’ve seen him it has to be so annoying and the guy never acts put out.

I’m a big believer in Zion... that said he looked a little heavier in person and not in a good way. Normally it is the other way around... they look heavier on tv. He’s explosive still but he needs to control his weight. I think he will do it but I had kinda expected him to be a little leaner coming into summer league. I’d said concern level is super low.

I think his shot will come around... he’s willing to shoot it which tells me he has some confidence in it.

I think he needs to drop his weight. He looks unnaturally big and not in a good way to me. He needs to drop at least to 250... or thereabout.

His *** is 250 right now by itself. I think he could play at 265ish and be healthy.

Btw... Brantley is a brick house... dude is thiccc... in a good way though... he could prolly get a little leaner but I’ve got a good feeling on him.

Can he start? I’m not meaning is he a starter, but with four really good guys on the floor, can he start? I mean, Pop had a way of disguising Matt Bonner on the floor. Can we get away with Brantley? Because if he can defend, play tough, grab boards, and hit an occasional catch and shoot three, that’s all we need.

Zion has gained a LOT of weight. As mentioned, his *** is like a planet. He needs to control his eating.

I agree, Brantley has a great NBA body. And he looks like he could drop a little weight. I bet he will before the season starts. At one point during the first game in SLC he sprinted down the court and I was shocked by his speed. I have a good feeling about him.

This year? Heavens no.

He might get some spot minutes. He has an nba body. Eventually he could but he’s a project... but he’s a project that could function on the court for 10-12 minutes a night at some point in the season.

Agreed.
 
Thinking about Brantley he has a lot to offer. He handles the ball quite nicely. He can drop the three. He can body up anyone. He's pretty good with the ball around the basket. He can stay in front of his assignment pretty well. He's quick-footed and should get better as he drops weight. The game looks like it comes at him fairly slowly. He makes a bad pass here and there but I just don't see any glaring weaknesses. He's only 6'7" but he has a 7'1" wingspan.
