    Braden Smith looked like garbage against the same Toronto squad that Thornton had a solid game against. Lots of fouls for Toronto again.

    Move aside Ayton, it's Domni-Daisen.

    Stone should be embarrassed. Ime too. These guys are not even trying to find talent at this point. Nix is never going to be an NBA Player

    Well we've got a boring team. The top prospect is a 2nd round midget.

    I know! But Silver made sure to put a Bruce Thornton game vs World Cup Semifinals time slot. That must mean something?!! :)

    Is this the conspiracy that the mediocrity treadmill still exists? It isn't good to be a mediocre team, but it isn't being punished like it was.

    Yeah, not even Wemby would be called upon to air against a France semi-final on Bastille Day

    It doesn't matter since it's SL. However, it's a reminder that Stone once said Nix is a lottery pick. It's not a good reminder of Stone's judgment on players.

    Yep. Not one of these guys will make a NBA roster.

    Stone could have sold his picks and got Thornton on waivers because nobody was drafting him.
