    To hell with a 2 way..I would be looking at him for Bronny's slot, when he joins his father wherever he lands.

    Manon and Kaluma look like pretty good prospects. I’d put both of them on a two way. That last two way spot is up for grabs.

    Finding guards are a dime a dozen. I’d be stockpiling wings like Manon and Kaluma on 2 way deals.

    I haven't watched a second but encouraging signs from the summer league.
    Carr seems legit. From the few highlights I've seen it looks natural to him which is a great thing.
    Thiero looks much better than in Vegas. Did he play C this last game like the NBA app shows?
    Great stuff by Kaluma. What type of player is he? Know nothing about him

    Watson is the starting C with Kyle as the primary backup.

    Think of a poor man's OG.

    Kaluma needs a 4 year contract with a player option of course.

    It’s going to be wild when we have Manon - Carr - Adou and Kaluma starting alongside Kessler.

    All gas!

    I said this about the SL team in a post in Mamu’s thread where Slick had commented on his style of tough play, and I welcomed it.

    Agreed, we have a tough group, even Carr absorbs contact to finish and dishes it out. We haven't had a collection of young talent like this in a long time.

    Edit: and they are all likeable and amazing young men.

    .... and he further added below that, "That original tweet is pointing out his defense (98th %ile in college his last year). He was good there this past season (78th percentile), but also upped his offensive game to showcase 96th percentile offensive impact in the G-League last year."

    A reply to Cranjis's post a ways down.

    He's like a mini Naz Reid out there. I hope he gets a 2 way slot also.
