Sandro is pretty good on offense but on defense I have no idea who he could guard.

Cade Cunningham is awesome. Size, handles and shooting ability. He is going to be a major star in the NBA.

I think your probably right but I don't think he's a point guard.

Before Boston came into the picture, I was hoping Detroit would sign Schroder. I was imagining a team of:

G: Schroder
G: (shooter)
F: Cade Cunningham
F: Jerami Grant
C: Kelly Olynyk

Olynyk as a high post facilitator and outside shooter next to a playmaking / shooting wing in Cade Cunningham and Schroder as a PnR PG with Jerami Grant as versatile scoring PF. That team would have been so much fun to watch.

Isn't Killian Hayes their point guard?

Can't depend on him for anything. He hasn't even shown he is an NBA level player yet. Romeo has shown more aptitude for NBA basketball than Hayes.

He averaged 5 assists last year.

Haha, this is basically where I'm at with him. Could carve out a role for himself as an offence-only bench guy, but man his defence is not impressive!

SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)

He does have good size and shooting ability, but his defense has been bad and he turns the ball over a lot. Struggles to drive to the hoop as well. So far I think Green and Suggs have looked better.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

If you can, watch Tyrell Terry for the Mavericks today.

He was a guy I was hoping the Celtics would grab last season. He fell in the draft because he was young and very raw. Terry has got solid upside, he reminds me a bit of a young Jason Terry.

Terry had a late growth spurt and looks to be 6’2-6’3, very fluid athlete and although he’s lean very good at getting to the hoop (not afraid of contact).

IMO he’ll be a great fit long term next to Luka, once he can get stronger.

5' 10" former point guard

Career highlight: 1973-74 championship, Boston Celtics

Career lowlight: traded for a washing machine

Mobley seems to have the height and athleticism to be a solid nba player, but man, is he raw offensively. I thought he’d look better. Some “experts” were using Chris Bosh as a comp? I don’t see it..

Did anyone see Sean McDermott today for Memphis?

I can’t believe the Celtics didn’t pick him up as an undrafted two way guy… given he’s from Butler.

The guy has Duncan Robinson 2.0 written all over him.

I think he's really struggling with the strength of these guys. He can't establish any positioning, and it makes his skills suffer as a result. Really needs to get a stronger core

Eh, he was absolutely terrible for Memphis last season. Shot the three at 23%, can't pass and can't defend. No interest

7’ tall and shot 5-15 tonight. Only took a couple of 3’s, too. Yikes.
