Mitchell is pretty impressive. Really has a quick trigger and is a decent athlete to guard 1s and 2s. He should make the team.

Smart wasn’t on the fringe.

You think he was going to play ahead of Kemba and Fox at PG?  Explain.

They didn’t add Fox to the main roster until after Smart was injured.

Also, the thought that Smart would ever fake being hurt to get out of playing basketball is pretty offensive to Marcus Smart.

He should make the team. I've just noticed that he isn't as effective as his athleticism should make him - yet. Multiple times in highlights he overplayed on defense which weakened the team defense and let to a score. He also doesn't really create well for others.

I think he will keep growing, but I've been struck by the lack of discipline.

Agree with that.

Maybe the lack of discipline helps him be the scorer that he is, to instantly let shots fly. Hopefully he gets a better feel for all aspects of the game.

Is Tatum playing for White Team?

he is on the blue team (the national team) with Jalylen and Kemba...

The white team is the select guys (ie less likely to make the final team)

JT scored on a nice catch and shoot three. No hesitation.
