"Derrick Favors
Summer school tutor Karl Malone has added a noticeable edge to Favors’ game. He’s always been light on his feet and an eager defender, but he’s added a physicality to his game that was on display in scrimmages. He challenged forays to the rim with full force. He runs the floor extremely well and could blend well with whatever group is selected for Spain. One issue: He racked up four fouls in just eight minutes of action in Thursday’s Showcase.
Gordon Hayward
One of the true breakout performers during the mini-camp, if there was a 12-man group being selected this summer Hayward would no doubt be on the list. Listed at 210 pounds on the official roster, he seems much bigger and played like it in scrimmages. His best work might have been on the defensive end. His versatility could be the key to his chances of fighting for a roster spot next summer."
 
"Dion Waiters
Summer school tutor CJ Miles has added a noticeable ****iness to Waiters' game. He's always been a chucker, but he's added an ability to actually forget that there are nine other players on the court that was on full display in scrimmages. He runs the floor like an overweight caveman and will blend god awfully with whatever roster is selected for Spain."

This is good for fantasy basketball. He will shoot a lot and get his points.

Amazing.
 
Can I just add that I do not understand the hype around the team-building that the Cavaliers have been doing? Like, at all.

I brought this up yesterday. Irving is their only good pick since they lost LeBron. Kinda surprised they didn't take Derrick Williams over him.
 
Irving is awesome.

That's it.

Irving's great.

Tristan Thompson is turning into a legit starting PF but not a game changer.

Varejao is a good role-playing starting PF.

Bennett is a PF.

Waiters looks good when you watch his highlights but not very often otherwise.

Bynum could be good again but I think everyone doubts it.

They are overloaded on PF.
