FNG - That Naz/JMac Summer League was a lot of run. As I recall, that’s where my wife and ran into you.

Yep...at the swanky (but overpriced) Bellagio. I think we'll dial it back a notch and go Hard Rock next time...closer to the action anyway!

Roster announced:

No Garza. But Clark is included, although I suspect he will not play.

Bowen II is a solid player and has taken a lap with Iowa. Carton also had some downright explosive games last year with Iowa, so keep an eye on him as well. Otherwise, Moore Jr., Minott, and Lewis are the guys to watch of course.
As for Garza, there would be zero benefit to him playing in summer league or G-league from now on. Everyone already knows what he can do at that level and he's proven himself. Now it's just a matter of whether a team is willing to give him an NBA deal, including the Wolves.

Did Miller change his name to Lewis or something?!?

I don’t think he will make it but Travion Williams is a Purdue legend and a rebounding machine. Very good college player.
Overall like last years team a ton of energy and defense and no shooting

Can make some home-run passes too. Just amazing how many skilled bigs are out there these days on the fringes of the NBA, but if they can't move their feet and get targeted on switches, it's hard for them to get regular minutes unless they are absolutely elite in other areas.
Moore Jr. needs to be a leader on this squad and make some damn shots. Three years at Duke and had a lot of reps in the G-league last year...he's no longer young and inexperienced by summer league standards.

Jake Stephens signed with Sacramento. I liked the two draft picks, but I'm a bit disappointed that TC hasn't signed any of the top undrafted free agents like Stephens.
