    I'm intrigued by this guy. Any word on if he will be with us come training camp? I really think he's got a chance to be a key reserve down the line. Good size, can handle the ball is athletic. Only thing that looks shaky is his shot but he seems like a natural do it all type player. He looks like he has a great feel for the game.

    He already declined, but I guess we have a spot open just in case.

    Like that kind of toughness. I played my best game on a badly sprang ankle and have always admired those willing to add some tape and finish the game. Gentile's wrap around pass to the post was nicely executed. Hopefully we get to see him down the line.

    Seriously, that defender slipped his foot under Gentile's at the last second. If that happened to me while I was playing pick up, I probably would have been yelling and trying to fight the guy even as I was rolling around crying in pain. It would look really wimpy, but the b*stard at least would know what he did.

    He suffered a non-Jewish ankle sprain?

    The only thing I noticed was that Champion still makes jerseys, apparently.

    Gen-tee-lay is like the Euro Harden, gets to the rim at will or pulls up for the J anywhere on the court. D is a tad better but Harden is better distributor.

    This guy could have helped this year, filling the Lin role off the bench to a T.

    Too bad, it'll be Llull's spot in 2015-16.

    That beard is an abomination. Why would you shave where the beard is supposed to be, but then leave the nasty neckbeard?? Unacceptable.

    But that was an impressive video. Looks like he could be a solid scorer off the bench.
