    I think Zach lucked into the right situation. I think he will do really well this year, but long term he’ll just be ok.

    Vonterius Woolbright sounds like a name George Costanza made up in the episode where he tries to convince his coworker he has an actual black friend.

    He’s definitely the MVP of names.

    It's just the summer league. This isn't where game matter and team will exploit his weakness.

    His weakness is lateral movement. Anything else? Because they are not going to stop his scoring and his rebounds. Put a bunch of 3 and D's around him and you got a decent squad. Too bad he'll be playing with Moront.

    Two-way players in a Summer league context refer to contracts that can move between the G-League and big club without being poached by other teams. Is this the current status?

    1. Nate Williams, G/F
    2. N’Faly Dante, C
    3. Empty

    I know we're not supposed to say this, but he moves way better than Boban... The Boban comparison seems unfair now.

    I meant all the players on a 2 way contract.

    He should be the only player in the league allowed to play with an ascot on and smoke a pipe while on the bench.

    Looking forward to seeing Vonterius shock us in summer league.

    Can Amen join when he’s back? I think Select team will be done by game 2. Really want him taking a ton of 3’s but won’t get that opportunity with Select.

    Dante, Lewis, Sheppard and Whitmore are good enough to win out. Samuels and Hinton will contribute too. Woolbright the wildcard.

    They should run Summer League for a month, there’s nothing team-related to watch for months and the players would get some more serious work in. More senior players might make cameos. Would be a nice vibe.

    What are we doing with Samuels and Hinton? They’re both 25. I’m fine with them being camp fodder, but don’t really like the idea of them playing heavy summer league minutes ahead of other contenders for that last 2-way spot.

    Nope, not on the roster and he likely wouldn't have played being game 2 anyway.

    I’m not buying ZE short or long term. He’s got bust written all over his…chest.
