    We don’t need him with Sengun Adams and Landale anyway. Sucks though he outperformed all our 2-ways. Those guys are a waste of even a 2-way spot.

    Good luck on the Kings!

    It was fun while it lasted. Good luck in Sacstown.

    Definitely an NBA player. Prefer Landale.

    There was no place for him. No loss for the Rockets. Wish him the best in Sacramento.

    He should have signed with Orlando.

    He's the lob threat we'd been waiting for.

    Good on him tbh. I couldn't see any real path for playing time with us, glad he's got a shot somewhere else because he definitely outplayed some of our 2 way guys and deserves a chance.

    The only 2-way I like right now is that Australian guy. We should mine the rest of the league to turn over the other 2-way spots. Miami, for example, is overflowing with talent and constrained with their 2-way spots.

    Was really hoping he was the answer to our 12th man off the bench woes.

    I was in Vegas last week, and he had some impressive moments. Good luck on the Kings. He outplayed Williams, Hinton, Samuels... the dead weight on our bench. Pretty much outplayed anyone not named Cam or Reed.

    The intrigue with Keels is killing me. Wish they would have played him more. Would have like to see if he could keep that kind of play going.

    Well, it wasn't gonna be Thomas Robinson, the Kansas standout.

    Mike Brown team actually plays similarly to the Magic with more fire power and less stifling D.

    Hard to project much off of Summer League, but that combined with his past NBA experience makes him a pretty decent prospect. He was definitely one of the most solid performers out there.
