    McCallum Park in South Perth usually has a decent run on Saturdays and Sundays

    I could care less about race, just another waste of everyone's time and energy to keep them distracted from whats really important.

    My friend in Australia said the Aussies are playing an “intro game” right now on tv and he’s (our boy Jack) playing really well.

    I for one am glad we signed a guy over 6'3 for the first time in forever.

    I’m all about the positive message, but in reality some medical conditions and drug responses show important differences along racial lines. There’s many other differences as well, but the belief that race is a social construct can directly harm people that don’t provide correct medical information.

    He played ok in his 10 minutes versus Serbia lastnight. I dunno if he is NBA material or not. Will be fun seeing him play with Jock

    Along genetic lines, not racial lines... Big difference.

    For a two way, this is a great sign. He's a proven commodity in the NBL and his shooting ability is real. He's a great catch and shoot guy. His main limitation will be how well he can hold up defensively against NBA talent. You gotta take some shots and get lucky and compared to our current two-way guys, who look like duds, this is a great gamble.

    I know N'Faly is one of them, is Nate Hinton the other one?

    Nate Williams is the other one. Nate Hinton and co didnt get a 2 way.

    So far our two ways are
    Nate Will
    Nfaly Dante
    Macveigh

    But 2 ways arent guaranteed they can cut Nfaly and get Orlando instead.

    If you see him on the court outside blow outs something went terribly wrong.

    I don’t even think they need to bother with letting Nate Williams finish out the Summer League schedule with how terrible he has looked.

    I’d say his closest comps are a shorter David Andersen or taller Matthew Dellavedova.

    An award winning, healthy, active shooting, high BBIQed defenseman with some height, that can hit clutch shots, in the prime of his career, signed to the lowest salary we can give to keep other teams away. I’m pretty sure this should turn out okayish.
