    Need a thread on why Bruce Thornton is a bad example for kids growing up and thinking they can weigh 350, Oompa Loompa height and make the nba.

    gotta think he didn't win the challenge because he didn't establish direct enough eye contact with the lady ref

    Bruce really out her casually hooping. no flash, just ball. love that and hate that for us. jalen green's summer league was otherworldly. euphoric even.

    Ok, it's only Summer League, but I see a lot of hungry players and even some twitchy athletes that deserve consideration for the future of this franchise. Not that all of them are "ready."

    Instead, bring on the old, oft-injured vets to pull us through another grind of a season that lacks any sort of excitement or optimism apart from the individual progression of the young core.

    Stone found 3 gems in the draft, BT obviously is pretty good but Copeland and Oscar Cluff also played really well.

    Copeland reminds me of a more mature Tari Eason. Cluff is like a more spry Landale. I hope Cluff gets to stay on the team we need some young blood since Capela aint cutting it.

    I
    I really liked Copeland trying to defuse that situation where he wrongly got a technical. A cool head. Not many might have caught that, but it was a good look into his psyche whether he has the tools for the NBA or not.
