    seeing KD and WhiteKD going through the same drills is such high comedy. It’s like seeing the same film in the wrong frame-rate. Like, the moves look the same, but everything is off and jaggedly.

    Still have high doubts this kid will last in the NBA.

    Greater than KPJ?

    Relatively opposed to a bench player.

    With this scrimmages, the scoring buckets isn't what matters really. But there are good things to take away that are promising. For one, watch rookie highlights of Green. And look at him now. He has gained a decent amount of mass. He isn't a twig anymore. Second, the added mass hasn't affected his acceleration and speed. He's still as fast as ever if not even faster. Second, his shot mechanics are far more consistent and repeatable.

    He gets a little bit more saucy here. Probably saw DBook and wanted to show him up

    That's a lot of.higj level players playing pick up.

    I dunno, I think that comes down to opportunity, I think if KPJ was the primary scorer and Green off the bench he would have similar stats.

    So, whomever is the starter will have better stats, but IMHO they are interchangeable - slight differences but both going to be elite scorers in the league.

    Can't be certain, but I think Cam Whitmore is in the mix, as well. He's probably feeling a little overwhelmed LOL.
    But very good to see the young guys putting themselves out there and building up experience.

    Took me a while to find our logo! In the West, we're definitely bottom 3. In the East, I'd say we're definitely better than the Hornets. Not sure what to expect from Detroit, but I guess we're better than them too.

    I think 31.5 wins is a reasonable line for us.

    Why can’t we get this guy more back cut dunks? He’s super fast. We should be able to get him a lot more off ball buckets.
