Man it’s been some ugly basketball so far…not a lot of skill…out of like four 3pt shots, two hit the side of the backboard, and one was off the backboard…oof

ANyone know the mandate for NBA players that play in G-League?

Like does the Pelicans want the Squadron to play Kira x-minutes and have x-touches no matter what?

Lewis is on a rehab assignment. There are pels coaches and trainers there with him to manage that. Whatever the pels want for his minutes or whatever has been communicated to Bham

Looks pretty damn good to me. Lateral movement looks good. The only thing off right now is his shot

kid fastest player on the team, not much of a shooter, but he can fly up and down a court. I hope he can get back to the team as fast as possible. I don't really keep up with the team, I catch some games when I can here in Vegas. But can you tell me what's up with Hernangomez? I haven't seen him the few games I watched, thought he might be hurt. But dude is a really good player and reliable back-up.

He was looking better, but he still looked about a year or 2 away from being a year away from being a rotation guy on a decent team. If his shot is any indication, that hasnt changed.

He looks about where he left off last time we saw him: raw speed, bad jump shot, decent straight line passing, not a ton else.

Kira feels like the new NAW for some for some of you. Except NAW had actually flashed a lot more...

All we had for Kira was hope and that's pretty much extinguished now

Virtually no need for him on the team anyway. Jose is a way better point guard and Graham shoots better. He's just simply redundant

He’s a good kid and solid basketball player. Team still thinks highly of him, though he’s not receiving much playing time.

With the return of Zion and the emergence of Larry Nance the team seems to be leaning into small ball making it harder to find a role for Billy imo.

The injury and the nature of it + how guard/wing heavy we are really has everything stacked against Kira at this point.

He has the foundation to build into someone that sticks in the league, but I personally am not banking on it for us, if at all...

Oh, okay, that makes sense. Nance jr has improved a lot since he first started out in the nba, thanks.

I think it's a bit overblown, but he definitely had a solid stretch, the best stretch of his career right when he was injured.

It was something like 10 games, averaging around 8ppg on nearly 50% shooting from the field.
