JD Davison says he is going to be somewhere between a point guard and combo guard, saying whether he's on the ball or off the ball, he's gonna be a dog on both ends of the floor.

He plays hard. That's a good attitude.

 JD!


“My season at Alabama didn’t go as well as I wanted to, but I think I had spurts of what I showed and what I can do at the NBA level,” he said. “My decision was because the NBA floor is so spaced out for a dynamic guard like me, I think it was the best for me to go out and go to the draft.”

I’m looking forward to seeing Kabengele.  I’m not familiar with him, but I just watched his G league highlights from last season.  He’s a big guy who moves and jumps well and has a developing 3 point shot.

Thought I’d share his highlights.  https://youtu.be/2yU8EvSzpU8

Yeah, I’m looking forward to him as well.  He was a first-rounder selected just a few spots after Grant in 2019.  Of the summer league free agent invites, I think he has the best chance to be useful to the C’s this year.

Probably as a 2 way unless we strike out getting an experienced back up center.

I think Begarin has shot to make roster. Could fill roll as bench wing.

Whoever is drafting for the Grizz is doing a great job.

Payton Pritchard: Well, this was rather embarrassing… Celtic guard Payton Pritchard stopped by security. Wouldn’t let him into restricted area so he could sit with C’s coaches. VP of communications Taylor Kielpinski-Rogers had to vouch for him. Pritchard burned the strings in this gym last year.

When Langford was traded I thought Begarin could step into that role because of his similar length and defense along with the same scoring deficiencies.

He probably doesn't stand out as a basketball player....

They say it used to happen to John Stockton too.

Doesn't Kenny Smith tell a story of Stockton being stopped by security at an All-Star game and not believing Stockton was a player. They thought he was just a fan trying to sneak in.

Yeah, most basketball players tend to stand out due to their height but when you're in the 6 foot range you look more like a fan than a player.

Kabengele might get some chances to stick as a backup big.  Dude showing a pro's big man body.  Real size and thick.  Strength and tenaciousness to bang for boards.  Anything extra he gives on top of that is just gravy.

I know it's just summer league, but his physical attributes stand out.

Kabengele is simply a bully on the block.

I think Davison will spend like 90% of his time in Main though.  He's real young, so that's kinda expected.  Don't expect to see him with the main team for a while.
