    He usually has a high arc. Think he's still getting adjusted to the NBA three point line which is slightly further.

    Big take away from the game is that these kids like to play together. Christopher has a tendency to get flashy when he doesn't need to. Unnecessary behind the back passes that could have been TO and bad decisions that turned into TO.

    Anybody got Eason's offensive/defensive highlights for this game? SL games don't mean anything but I like his consistency so far.

    I agree with that, just looking for someone to be a backup at this point, to me the best of any of the SL guards has been Hudgens.

    Jabari did everything great except for shooting, which is his strength so I am expecting him to get back on track very soon.

    Tari Eason seems like he has great potential, and his hands are absolutely great—seems every time the ball is in his vicinity he’ll get it, whether it’s a rebound or a loose ball.

    As Stone said, Tyty is just a baller, man. He knows how to play the game and probably hit the biggest shot of this meaningless contest.

    Anthony Lamb was...present?

    Clutch dropped a bomb in the spaces: TyTy is older than Niix by some months

    how does that make you feel about TyTy? I still like TyTy.

    Yeah he has surprised me on a few plays. I never knew about him before the last game. He seems like a "spark" kind of player on the offensive side of the ball. Confident and decisive

    Doesn’t affect how I feel about TyTy but makes me a little more excited about Knicks

    Yeah that’s my point…. that’s too low of a “floor” for a top 3 pick.

    You got that reversed. Nix is older than TyTy by 9 months.

    I still prefer Ty-Ty because his instincts and feel for the game stand out. It's something that can't be taught.
    Nix had a good game but nothing stands out. Nothing special I can see.

    The exact same, although I knew he was super young since last year they mentioned Nix age a lot haha

    I'm not low on Nix or anything either

    Now if you ask me about Lamb... that dude needs to start thinking about that overseas money lol

    He would have had 30 if he made his missed shots - says every baller ever that stunk it up on the offensive end.
    Nonetheless, Jabari will be okay - Scoring should come much easier after he’s through playing with these bums

    If he keeps it up I think Christopher gets flipped......in a trade.
