    I know its only preseason but Capella really looks like he has done some work this offseason. His free throws look better than last year. He looks more comfortable in the game. He put on 15-20 lbs.

    Capela definitely looks more comfortable out there. The game has slowed down for him. So young still, the sky is the limit for the young fella.

    Most impressed by his play recognition. He made the correct extra pass a few times last night to an open shooter.

    I love it!

    He made quite a few off target passes too. Josh-no-ua Smith's influence.

    That playoff experience is going to pay off big all season.

    He had two turnovers. I heard one was just a pass that got misread.

    Come on guys. Clint's last name is Capela, not Capella.

    What does Jones have to do with this thread, why can't you stop your silliness.

    Inside joke. You gotta bring up Jones/DMo debate whenever you can, WHILE you can. Because Jones is being traded :rolleyes: :grin: ;)

    I hate this so much, don't get why so many fans are incapable of looking at a name and then spelling it the right way from that point on.
    Capella, Lowery, Terrance Jones, Beverly...

    Capela is definitely going to be one of the best back up centers in the league this year I think. Now the question will be who is going to get that 3rd string back up center position spot. I don't think DMo will really play that much backup center this year because we will need him at the 4 mostly where he will be much more effective against PFs than against Cs.

    Capela looks solid, less hesitant and jumpy, better decision making and passing.
