    shouldnt be a thread on this until he's in the rotation and plays more than a game or two.

    Haven't you heard, sample size only applies if you had a perfect game.

    We soon will regard Clink as "the Iron Man" of our team. Caps off to the lad! :)

    I was concerned about the FT's as well after last night, but I agree that he'll be fine. He shot 60% with the Vipers where they play a ridiculously fast pace.

    It'll happen. He just has no confidence at the line. It'll come. He'll be fine. Y'all need to calm down.

    He needs to learn how to make them from James Harden.

    What happens first?

    Clint makes a free throw.

    Or

    Rose returns.

    Once he gets one to go down, he'll settle down and stop thinking about it so much and he'll settle in.

    Just like in Toronto, he got that first bucket and didn't look like a deer in headlights anymore.

    Nothing to worry about.

    This has to be a record. 0 for first 13 FT attempts in NBA. That sucks. It's harder not to make one than making one at this point.

    You could drop quick basketball 13 times and make at least 1.

    Rose returns becuase Capela won't see anymore time once Dwight returns tomorrow.

    His form is actually pretty good. It'll get better with time.

    I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but his terrible free throw shooting is why he plays the first 3-4 minutes of the 2nd and 4th quarters. I would love to see more of him, but he can't be in the game the final 4-5 minutes of any quarter because once we get into the bonus the other team would just foul and put him on the line.

    Overall though, his energy is outstanding and I would love to see him get those 6-8 minutes a game in the playoffs.

    can't wait for this guy to burst into camp next season, I think we need to calm down with the requests for him seeing playoff minutes though.

    It's exciting to see someone so raw yet athletic on the team
