    Just wanted to get a little feedback because the offseason has me thinking...

    Who, on either of our SL rosters, will someday be on the roster (aside from those that are/were on the roster)?

    I think Johnson, Black and, potentially, Maarty.

    They are getting blown out by Dwight Buycks and the Raptors summer league team. Cut them all.

    Goodness, our team looks so awful. Holy **** what is this ****? No plays being run, no defensive accountability, everybody's just hoisting horrible 3s. I know it's SL but it's really pissing me off. They might as well give up.

    Nick Johnson definitely looks like an NBA player. I think could play both guard positions effectively. To me, he's displayed better PG skills than Canaan has. I could see Johnson easily playing next to any other guard in the rotation.

    Maarty Leunen is an probably never going to make an NBA roster unless he starts draining 3s at a great rate. It's been 6 years since the Rockets drafted him, and it seems like he's played in the Summer League almost every year. If he showed consistency in his shot, he could probably find a place in the NBA.

    What's more disappointing is that Canaan was not good. Same with D-mo. They shouldn't be making the mistakes they are. Canaan does not have the shot creating ability Nick Johnson has.

    Everybody on the team thinks they are 3 point shooters. Well they aren't. There is no team play, no assists, no defense. Turrible. Canaan and Covington were the most disappointing. Nick showed some skills. Others are D-League dwellers.

    ^THIS. And Canaan just barely. Leuenen is not NBA caliber, unfortunately - even though he is a try hard guy.

    Timely reference.

    I like the announce team we got for this game. Love Brent Barry and Rick Kamla.

    Isaiah Canaan has come out like a man possessed in the 2nd half.

    Dmo, Canaan, Nick Johnson, Covington, maybe Leunen as insurance.

    LEunen hasn't played in the summer league each year. Hes been in Europe. he may have played the first couple years after getting drafted but not the past 4 . not sure where you get your information.

    I was solely basing that info off of memory. I guess my memory is pretty crappy.
