Trae Young looked pretty good again knocked down 7 threes today and was pulling up from near the logo. Wendell Carter looked good again himself

His range is unreal but he was only 7-19 shooting 7-13 from 3. So so summer league so far, too early to make a call on him but I don't think ROY is in the cards for him.

I think he has a great chance based on "volume-reps"...I could see Jackson getting the award if the Grizzlies become a playoff team. It's going to be a tight race this yr involving more than 2-3 guys

Dotson looks really bad, if he doesn't snap out of this he could be on dangerous grounds. He looks really overwhelmed in every facet of the game. Even dejected at this point.

Didn't know where to put this, but thought this was a cool vid



Tatum is good, I mean damn kid! Embid such a Man Child he has really no equal(physicality) in the East right now

Maybe this will be Knox's and Bamba's comeuppance

4 3s in a row by Knox, turned a 25 pt rout into a Knicks tie. This kid is the real deal. He may be a chucker but Trier better than Dotson.

That kid is butter from the Lakers which is why they locked him up with a contract at pick 47. His jumper is silky

Lakers get Maka and we get Robinson both late picks in the draft, more evidence of how deep it was again. There are other late 2nd round picks performing well

Uh, amazing athletes? If your vocabulary is so limited that you think "great" is the highest level of praise someone can get then I suggest you open a dictionary

Seems like there have been a lot of good players in this draft. A lot of the early second-rounders have been playing really well.

?Knox finished with 29 points on 9-of-20 shooting, including 5-of-7 from beyond the 3-point line, and nine rebounds.

Robinson, the Knicks? second-round pick whom the Lakers considered drafting, racked up 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting with eight rebounds and three blocks ? but was a minus-33.?


Trier has the makings to be a quality 6th man... Between Burke or Trier, we should be able to mold one of them into a quality 6th-man scoring plug type role, something every good team needs.

Even when Knox was missing early
Tonight, the form and the mechanics looked good. KP and Knox could be something to watch one day down the road.

Knox past 2gms has worked on knocking down the deep perimeter jumper appears he's in tune to what he needs to improve on. They said the kid is quiet and goes about his business in a very professional type manner. I like this quality about him, no nonsense...no noise...just work

I forget who interviewed him in one of the summer games but he addressed him as SIR, very respectful young man, the type front office types refer to as high character guys. It's early but he has me more excited than even Porzingis.

Like Broadway said, there are tons of solid prospects in this draft. Let?s see what org take advantage vs what teams screw it up.

Knox does remind me of Tatum. They dude can score in so many ways. He has moves, like Tatum, that teenagers shouldn?t have.

He seems like a grinder and that bodes well. We shall see... a nice first impression.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 17 points with four rebounds, six assists, three steals, one block and one 3-pointer in 29 minues against the Wizards on Wednesday.
He continues to control the tempo, making an impact on both ends. Perhaps no rookie point guard looked better than SGA -- may not be close either -- and he may wind up getting in the rotation sooner than we thought. Gilgeous-Alexander has been much better on offense than expected, including a well-rounded arsenal headlined by his 25-point Monday. SGA looks like the real deal

Trae with a 23pt 8 ast game in a 107-101 win vs. the Pacers. Hawks were down 27 and came back without Trae on the floor. He came back in with about 5 mins left and he closed the deal without hitting one 3 but showing that great court vision and passing ability, breaking down the defense and hitting that floater. His size is still a concern so the jury is still out on his success at this level but he's put together 2 nice back to back games.

He's showing the same court vision the past yr at OU, except now he's playing with better talent around him without the dumbed down NCAA rules. The NBA actually caters specifically to his style of play. He probably was the player we were targeting in a move up scenario. Can't wait to see who it was down the road. Unless he gets injured, he's going to rip this league a part. The passes he was making tonight were insane
