A huge part of the Sophomore slump is different expectations.

Wow, RIP. Feels like he had one of the smallest egos in professional sports, just an extremely likeable person.

Yeah, probably, but well before the lottery even happened all the local reporters including Locke were taking about a multi year tank, and I know TJ and I believe others specifically said that Lauri was on board with it. I don't know, maybe there is more nuance to his thoughts than either...

That's the opposite of what all the local reporters have said. Honestly it was surprising when they said he was on board with multiple years of tanking, so I'm not sure who to believe. If Lauri wasn't on board with tanking, I wouldn't blame him, but then he shouldn't have signed his contract...

I've heard that from NBA guys, but don't think it's true. There are lots of examples of guys that didn't play well in summer league and ended up as good players. It doesn't even make logical sense either. There are a ton of reasons for someone to struggle that have nothing to do with future...

It's far from my favorite movie, but I've found the 2009 Star Trek movie extremely rewatchable. It might be the movie I've seen the most in my adult life. (I don't rewatch many movies. The movie I've seen the most in my life is either the Lion King or Aladdin, I watched those on repeat as a...

That wasn't my final big board. Also, taking anything from a few summer league games is pretty dumb. Also, I'm very happy and quick to admit my Ls, so if Kas end up a bust I'll be good.

I was super high on Lively pre draft and then he looked really bad in summer league, so I wrote him off, and then he ended up having a great rookie year. There was someone else in that draft I was down on and had a great summer league and then was awful as a rookie (Jett Howard, I think). That...

I think he'll figure it out. I've only watched one game and his defense looks much better than I would have guessed. He's also made some nice passes and physically/athletically looks like he belongs. The shot isn't falling and he isn't handling ball pressure well. He'll have time to put it...

Flip looked really good to me last night. I'm not his biggest fan, but he showed some inside presence that he has lacked in his other SL games.

Cody has the skill of a big with the strength/ mentality of a guard. He needs gigantic improvements in one of the other to be a real player.

I was watching for this yesterday and I think it's still mostly a strength thing. He had good position and timing on a few rebounding opportunities, but just got pushed out of the way very easily. There is probably some effort, timing, and skill that he is missing as well, but I think the...

Philon destroyed everyone. My favorite was when he outplayed Fears.

It's been a few summer league games, lol.

Good, he looks way more confident.
