    Dillon Brooks on the sideline

    "this Jabari Smith kid can really score!

    I better injure him at training so he don't take my shots"

    I like all these kids man, just have to put it together.

    Won't have space for them all, some of them might be too talented and will have to grow on other teams eventually but I've been saying it for a while and I don't care about Paolo or Wemby or whoever. Best overall young core in the league.

    OKC got something nice going on too though...

    Ahh, in fairness, he's young and will have his ups and downs. But, as he gains more and more confidence...he will excel. He's a keeper. We would have never seen Bari having this big of a part with Silas. I also believe Cam will contribute THIS year.

    One thing is clear. Amen and Ausar may look the same but they play very different and I’m glad we got Amen.

    All good - I am a fan of Brooks, if only because he is a tough vet who can show the kids how to play.

    Like Ariza on steroids, but willing to be vocal and hold teammates accountable.

    Look at how Memphis young guys developed with him in the program.

    I feel bad for Asuar i think he has more PG than SG/SF in him like his brother Amen. with Cade and Ivey on Detroit, I dont think he will be able to showcase what he can really do.

    I agree he's much more effective.

    But, if you look at how he's actually playing on the court it's not that different - he just happens to be 4 inches taller and more athletic.

    Cam Whitmore can play in this league. Dude has skills. Vinny the Microwawe for us off the bench.

    No gonna lie, I wanted Ausar more than Amen.
    He’s not looking good right now
