Where are you on Kas vs Clayton jr?

WCJ is much safer. He can really shoot it and is a much better ball handler.

I think Kas has more upside as a guy who I think will eventually really shoot it, is taller, and has moments of incredible vision/passing/creativity

How this dude went 16 I'll never know.

Kas was still 18 about a month ago. WCJ should be much better than Kas at this point because he’s more than three years older. I like both of them, but we'll see.

He has an extremely unique skill set. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Can Yang and Clingan play together in the future?

The HORRENDOUS ad at the beginning of that video made me spontaneously go to youtube and block that channel. Ugh.

That said, he seems to have good court awareness, and his ability to track the ball for a block is solid, although none of those attempts were serious NBA-level shot attempts, so take it all with grain of salt. The give and go later in the video was solid, but also pretty basic. Yeah most of his assists were very basic, get the ball wait for the double, dump the ball and hope they hit the shot. Not sure how much of this shows up in real games, maybe 40% if lucky, probably closer to 20%. We'll see if he can play up to the level of the competition.

I saw an interesting blub on Hoops Rumors. Isiah Wong and some other players held a free agent workout in Vegas and his agent said that they and the Jazz held discussions with the Jazz which were "productive". He was a 2nd round pick of the Pacers in 2023, had a two way deal with the Pacers in 23-24, played with the Stars for awhile last season, signed with the Hornets played 20 games averaged 6 ppg and then finished the season in Europe. Could this be a two way slot or did some of our guards play themselves off the roster?

I think they are getting the wong idea.











I'm sorry but someone had to say it.

Yeah, the dude is pretty unique. His Jokic-like passes are fun to watch.

Somehow Jase Richardson, the 25th pick of the draft, is only capable of playing 2 games in SL but he was great regardless.

In the past I've tried to make sure and watch at least one SL game per rookie. There are a bunch of guys this year that I haven't seen yet, including Jase.
