But part of Queen struggling at PF is on Missi to position himself to make it difficult for his man to effectively help. Missi struggled last season playing with Zion for the same reason. It's just part of the maturing process for Missi: figuring out his positioning.

Queen starting to find his rhythm. I'm loving it.

I've been thinking that Queen looks much more comfortable today and is playing much better defense.

Hey everyone! I just thought I'd pop in to get Lord Bebo and ayden's thoughts about the new $10 billion in weapons that Ukraine is getting, but I don't see them anywhere.
What happened to the Twitter feeds of all of our favorite Russians? Is "John Barron" not posting in here anymore?

re: I've changed my mind on Walker Kessler

That's part of why I'm rooting for Karlo, who I believe is going to be ahead of Queen in the rotation. If Karlo can improve his shooting a bit, then he can help us.

SL is different for year 1 players vs year 2. For a player who played 20+min a game getting starter level minutes for an entire season there are higher expectations in SL. SL is where experience should show...
The problem is that you have no idea what the coaching staff wanted Missi to work on in this summer league. Lots of 2nd-year players are told to focus on setting screens, or practicing a new technique in reading opponent pick-and-rolls, or a dozen other things.
Missi is out on the court with players he just met, and he doesn't yet know how to play with them.
I've reminded people in other threads that Missi was a significantly below-average player last season, which is normal for a rookie, so I'm not some kind of knight for Missi, but summer league means nothing.

Kessler is ... very easily played off the court.
No, he's not. I don't want to be endorsing the OP, because I think that it's a bad practice to base decisions like this off of meaningless summer league performances, but Kessler is a defensive rock and an elite rebounder. He's not easily played off the court ... not at all.
re: so why did we get rid of reeves again?
Posted by GOP_Tiger on 7/14/25 at 10:02 am
Reeves is very much a borderline NBA player. His defense is bad. If he were anything above being a borderline player, than some other NBA team would have already given him a contract.
Dumars is still trying to add a higher quality player to the roster, and we need the roster spot and the cash.

I don't understand why he keeps creating new accounts and hiding. So many things about him are just bizarre.

Precheck is a breeze through Denver.
DEN has had repeated problems recently with the trains to the terminals, sometimes causing passengers very long delays in getting to their gates.

I think that I have written "It's just Summer League" three times in here already. We do this every year where we try to decide if guys are good or not, and it's just impossible.

re: Who here has been arrested and jailed?
Posted by GOP_Tiger on 7/13/25 at 8:09 pm
Was arrested and spent 12 hours in EBR parish prison until bonded out. No charges were ever filed, because I wasn't guilty. The thing I won't forget is that there were two men in that general area (just booked) who were saying things like "The bitch had it coming to her."

Most of this board can’t stand mac. He left this board because he was so butthurt about no one agreeing with him
No, people agreed with him more often than not. He had inside info and intelligent takes.
He left because he was the very definition of arrogant a**hole and regularly insulted anyone who disagreed. Eventually, he decided to form his own "elite board" with only the finest posters. Everyone here was told that they were auditioning and that their posts would be judged to see if they were worthy.

I know that he was 248 at the combine, but I think he's heavier now.

Zero assists in a half. Corey Brewer probably needs to stick to player development.
I'm not sure there's any evidence that he's actually coaching. The players just seem to be doing whatever they want.
