    So until we can dump House, Green is going with the number 0. I keep seeing the nickname “Zero G” floating around on Reddit as in zero gravity. I think that could be a thing no? Fits the the theme with the high flying dunks and of course the space theme with the Rockets and NASA. “Space City”

    Zero G is definitely cooler than the “MotorCade” monicker a lot of a Pistons fans have adopted for Cade Cunningham and Detroit being the “Motor City”

    Zero G sounds nice although I have some Zero G garden hoses that annoy me. He could unleash the G Force. Ok, too comic booky... maybe his fans could be the G Force. Make it so. ;)

    It's year-round money-making for the NBA. What are ticket prices nowadays? Back in the early 2000's they used to be cheap as hell, and you'd literally get to sit next to coaches and players. lol.

    fwiw: bbref lists the official heights, and no one is listed at a half inch, much less a 1/4 inch. So seems official measurements are rounded to the inch ... which isn’t all that helpful

    and I’m pretty sure the league’s official measurements aren’t conducted until pre-season, so these SL might not really even be what is later listed as official.

    He likes to pick his G Spots on the court. His fans are called the G Unit. Drives the lane like a G Wagon. He will have such great chemistry with our young guns we will say they are in G Sync. His ROY campaign will be called the G-Shock n Awe tour.

    Sengun is the better offensive player, especially in the paint.

    Mobley better defensively but should struggle in post.

    Hmmmm

    Sengun hasn't played agains NBA style mutant athletes before. Whatever you think of his motor or whatever, Mobley has physical tools that Sengun won't have seen before.

    He might be great, but if he doesnt, it's not the end of the world. It is entirely reasonable that it might take a a couple of games to get up to speed. Of course, Mobley hasn't matched up with a crafty b*stard like Sengun before, either.

    In any case, I'm not going to get too excited with results, no matter what. One Summer League game won't lock in and predetermine the arc of anybody's career, for better or worse.

    It was most likely by design, but...pretty cool how they have the top 5 picks being showcased. Pistons, Rockets, Cavs, Raps and Magic should make for some good bball.

    Totally agree.

    I hope more people think like you. Especially on Twitter and Reddit, I can already see a lot of people who will harrast to the players with keyboards in their hands after game tomorrow.
