I am not seeing anyone I think will help this team this year

Agreed

Possibly true. But as bad as Baylor?s looked in general and especially tonight, I think he could get regular minutes.   I like the way Amari handles the ball. Not this year - but in a couple maybe. And Hugo down the road.

I thought maybe Bassey could help this year, but he is apparently gone.

Super-disappointed in Baylor and Walsh.

I only saw the last 5 minutes but looks like an abominable half for Scheierman. 

Lofton has been hustling throughout SL - he just is a bit of a bull without quite enough skill to make it work. But like the effort. Norris looks good.  Box score indicates Hugo and Jordan had decent halfs. 

Williams seems to handle the ball well at 7 ft - can dribble, can pass.  Interesting player.

Agree, but he doesn't seem to have much lift.  No spring in his step and doesn't play above the rim.

Walsh is disappointing. I think Baylor has a better chance at contributing than him.

Miles Norris' skillset is intriguing.  Especially if he regains the three ball that he had in college.

Walsh has looked better than Baylor on both ends during SL. Scheierman?s shooting has been Putrid and he?s not a good defender.

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.

Right but Walsh is a year ahead and should be dominating SL by now. I predict he will be cut.

Jordan Walsh turned 21 four months ago.  Baylor is turning 25 this year.

I?m talking about how they?ll play during the NBA season. With better players around them, I think Baylor has a better chance of contributing vs Walsh. Walsh is disappointing because he?s in year three of his pro career and still hasn?t really separated himself from the rest of his SL teammates. Of course I would love to be proven wrong.

Not sure how I feel about the windmill dunk off a play where Walsh didn't get back on defense, lol.

Jordan recently turned 21. He was a late second round pick. Baylor was a 1st round pick and will be 25 in Sept. I?d give Walsh another year or so before judging.

Bingo. Age matters less than experience and Walsh has more NBA experience than Baylor.

Bronny with 8 TOs.

But you can definitely see something to his game. He still seems entitled, which makes me wonder if he will ever be able to reach his potential, but he has some legit ball moves that makes me think he can become more than just an end-of-the-bench 3/d player.
