    I honestly was higher + preferred to keep Orlando Robinson over N'Faly during SL. Orlando is similar sized but more advanced offensive player - as playmaker + stretch 5 with underrated defensive IQ. But N'Faly is slighly longer, more athletic 5 in traditional roller + rim protector role. Also has more active hands for steals than I realized.

    Dante should be better defensively than Landale, even in zone defense.

    A legit rim runner would be wonderful. His knees can't be worse than Steven Adams' knees.

    Sengun is a bad defender.

    Reminds me of a bigger, heavier Ed Pinkney

    You'd be very surprised. N'Faly Dante has the knees of a 50 year old. Multiple surgeries on his knees in college.

    Dante's awesome... for a 4th-string center.

    Stay away from reading grandpa’s texts. Unless sent to you.

    Grandfathers are special folk. Don’t forget that, kiddo.

    I think another team picked him up, too. Someone knows how to find talent that is on the staff, another staff member doesn’t know what to do with.

    Loved this guy in college. Good to see him doing the same stuff at this level. Just has to stay healthy.

    The previous SL, Rockets had Jay Huff who I was praying we'd keep. Huff is surprisingly athletic 7'1 stretch 5 who is currently shooting 40% 3P. Huff was NCAA champion, ACC All Defense + G-League DPOY (3.1 BLK per game). Alas.

    Broseph von Dudenheim IV,

    Good to hear.

    He has great chemistry with our franchise player.
