I remember a bunch of us in the draft thread last year were wondering why they took Ty Jerome that high. Even Cam Payne has been outplaying him. At least Cam Johnson looks like he'll pan out

I don't even think Jerome could make it

in the D League.I like Cam Johnson, tho.

I think he's going to stick around the

league a long time.

Rui and Bonga actually did a tremendous job defensively on Paul George and Kawhi. I was impressed. And you can see they are liked sized. Whoever was switched on whoever did a good job. Only time they came close to scoring was being switched onto Thomas Bryant.
But it's interesting and good if they come out of this as top notch defenders.

Bonga, Troy, rui are keepers. Ish is a keeper. I'm on the fence about Justin, Thomas bryant. I'm meh on Wagner. Then that trash lineup that lost us the fourth all need to go. Jonathan Williams can't pump fake before he goes up. Utoff played safe. Jerian can't shoot and sucks. Schofield needs to go. I was mad when we drafted him over Bol bol and I was doubly mad now. Next year they won't see time. Hopefully.
And. Its

Wall, Beal, Bertans, Rui, Cousins, Ish, Troy brown, Bonga. Thomas Bryant

And we draft either okwengu or Wiseman or avdija. If we still in ninth or tenth we draft Nesmith and get rid of a bunch of these bum guards who can't shoot.

Guy's like precious achiuwa, maybe Jaden in a few years have potential. Maybe a good big like isiaih Washington, Vernon Carey etc if we get in position. Someone who can D up and set screens and has a motor. Do what Noah did in the game essentially

I'm digging the crowdless vibe more and more. shyt sounds like the rec center with nikkas on the sidelines yelling and talking shyt :wow:


I knew it'd be dope. If you spend time watching ball in the off-season you see for some reason the angles are more clear and you can see detail. I think nba been playing with the different angles so I think the viewing experience will be too notch.

Everywhere...You never there.
Its clever. He's a lefty so he can probably jump off left. He did the upfake on his left foot and then jumped off the right with a left hand layup.
People on Twitter debating if it's a travel.

I thought it was a travel when I first saw it . I still can’t really tell . Negro is the black Houdini out there .

Hes very good at running the team. He's very intelligent and a very good passer. So he checks the mark on playmaking while being legit 6ft 7.. We have him in the second unit cause his best value is on ball. That's his greatest asset and it's hard to fit him with Wall and Beal. But he can basically play anywhere. One through three and sometimes four.

Has floaters now. He can shoot the 3 as well. Can slash. He's basically a jack of all trades with no holes in his game and he's only 20 maybe 21 now. Very young to have this sort of game.

Primarily we want him on ball though to maximize his playmaking and feel for the game. Funny enough bonga is a great passer too. And he's no scrub defensively as well.







Actually just Googled his age. He turns 21 tomorrow and his game Is this mature.

I don’t see the fit on y’all roster

edit

I stand corrected maybe a bench offensive force

I'm no Wiz fan :hubie:

But I see him playing a bigger role when they inevitably move Beal and Wall and he will be the tank general along with Rui.

I think Rui will be their premier player, Troy will be his #2, and they will go out there and win 25 games a year:hubie:

Yeah he basically can do what Iggy and Shaun livingston did in golden state. Even better. Talented player who because you have all stars ahead of them you can't play them with the all stars and have them standing around.

I mean yes they can play with them.. But give troy the second unit to run and be the man on that unit like they did with Iggy and Shaun. He's like sized to them too. Funny enough Shaun livingston standing height was taller than the starting 1 through 4. Troy is equally as big while he can run teams like pip did. Or like shaun and Iggy did. And he's only 20. Turning 21 tomorrow. With a vets mind. Won't make dumb mistakes on offense or defense. Very little liability. Was guarding the best wing on other teams.

Bonga is also going to be sneaky good. He just needs to gain muscle. He puts on 20 to 30 pounds and people will be amazed. Right now he won't give you numbers but he'll guard guys like he did this last game and impact the game. Just do the little things. But he's frail right now. I saw some interview he did. He's ultra smart.. That intelligence, passing ability and his Inate feel for the game.. While being potential 6ft 8 to 6 10. Can make him really good. Jumper is coming along. He won't score much but let him gain some more weight. He's super young as well.. Doesn't turn 21 until November and already has this feel for the game.
