Oh wow fast forwarded through Kings vs Hawks and man Bufkin looked out of his league despite its just SL.

He looked absolutely clueless at the 1, making headscratching decission, bad passes, dribble mistakes and bricking every single shot.

Every who feels sad we didnt get him should go find a replay. Im sure he will improve, not least because its pretty hard to get worse from that.

Also I was really looking at Whitmore hands for a while… can confirm they seem weirdly small.

Tari Eason is really good… not depressed that we missed out on Whitmore.

Andre Jackson had a two block sequence that was effing awesome… got Peyton Watson twice in like 10 seconds.

How was seeing the sphere in person?

He had some good and bad moments. He's going to take awhile to get comfortable leading an offense though.
 
I thought Scoot and Amen looked pretty good. Whitmore has further to go than I thought, but had some impressive strength, getting shots off through contact.
 
Damn I wish we could have pried Max Christie away from the lakers in the Conley trade. The lakers eye for late picks and undrafted players is second to none. We can probably count on Maxwell Lewis also being good and I think they found something with Castleton as well.
 
I'm still kinda amazed Brandon Miller's off the court incident was a non issue with NBA teams yet GG maturity is a cause of great concern. La'el Collins the NFL olineman was a first round lock here a few years ago, got questioned by police before the draft and that caused him to go completely undrafted thru 7 rounds. /rant
 
If you saw Wemby play before this last season this game was really familiar. He actually only started having good production this recent season. Before he was simply using his size and skill to get off jumpers like we saw last night, he’s not as good of a shooter as casuals thing. The way he became dominant in France was using his size and skill to get FT’s and shots at the basket. I think with time he will be able to make the same adjustment again, but people got to realize he’s not KD or Dirk. He’s more like Anthony Davis. The shooting is an accessory to his inside game where he’s actually special.

Question is if his body can hold up playing inside. The Spurs played him with a non shooting big. If they do that all year and have him hang out on the perimeter he will be healthier but less effective.
 
Super curious to see what Bilal does today. He played two very different offensive roles in France, one was being MJ against scrubs and the other was being Royce in the senior league. I wonder what kind of freedom they will give him and if he is timid against SL competition. Even Wemby was timid, not so expecting much.
