    I actually left out two put backs, but allowed the travel call on one of his running floaters. (He didn't travel.)

    Enjoy

    He's more skilled on the move than i would have expected.....If he's going to bring that every game then he should definitely make the roster.

    How does this guy go undrafted and a scrub like Chinanu gets drafted?

    It's still only preseason and primarily against B competition.....Wiltjer was probably right on the bubble

    If Novak can make it, so can this guy. Hes taller, and seems like he can put the ball on the floor to create some shots

    Obvious that we will sign him.

    What I really want to see is more playing time with the starters.

    If your goal is to put in 120-130 a night you need guys like this who Shoot pure. Frankly, having watched enough of brewer, Ariza, smith jacking up 3s knowing they were bad shooters...it's nice to see Anderson, wiltjer even dekker. These guys shoot better, flat out.

    A team can demoralize another through defense and hustle. A team can also demoralize by just pouring it in. We've seen the warriors do that for years. Are curry, Thompson, even Durant now notable defenders? Green isn't a center sized person but he hustles and it's good enough because the others are going to pour it in. Keep guys like wiltjer, line him up with harden, Anderson, Gordon and capela...spread it out and rain it in. Why the hell not?

    How many running floaters did that video have? I watched them all and he's yet to miss on his floater.

    Thanks for the video. It's so weird this guy didn't get drafted. He was recruited by Kentucky and won SEC 6th man of the year. I suppose it's because the NBA doesn't like drafting older players but he definitely has skills. Make a trade if you have to but this guy deserves a spot.

    Kyle Wiltjer plays like Kevin Love if Kevin Love wore 50 pound ankle weights.

    Is anyone else thinking:

    Does Ryan Anderson's step back jumper make him worth $19m more than Wiltjer?

    If Wiltjer has the attitude of a person who listens, learns and works on hismelf, he is half a season of NBA practice away from being a good backup PF in the NBA. I've said it in another thread, I'd rather cut Brewer than let Wiltjer walk due to lack of roster space.
