    Rob Gray has no chance to even end up on an NBA team, he's trying out for the Vipers.

    I think Gary Clark could possibly help. He's 6'7.5" with a 6'10" wingspan, is used to playing in a defensive scheme that switches a lot which is important playing against guard-dominant teams like GS. He's an athletic rebounder and his 3pt% improved from 28.6% (Junior Year) to 43.5% (Senior Year). That improvement in 3pt% suggest ability and the drive to practice.

    Joe Qi and MCW will fight to the death in a steel cage match for the final benchwarmer spot.

    I like Vincent Edward’s experience and consistency shooting the 3. If he can learn a few better defensive techniques I think he has a shot at some minutes.

    I’m excited to see the whole group though. Almost all of these guys have enough ability in one area or another, we just need to find out who is going to put in the work.

    Deng Adel is the most talented on offense. His defence is weak, but he seems to me to be worth giving a shot. Gary Clark could turn out to be a Draymond type of player. He looks interesting to me. If Trevon ever develops a jumper, he can become a productive player. Melton is the best of the lot. If he plays well, I think he should be thrown into the deep end. If he struggles, he can be sent to the G-League.
