LaFayette looked very good.  Smooth J, good handles, good vision, leadership qualities.  He doesn't have Maynor's floater (great shot), but offers a lot of the rest of Maynor's game.

Gody's not going to beat anyone off the dribble in the NBA, but he hasn't even touched net on his spot-up 3s. 

Gaffney can't dribble but plays a decent floor game.

Erden looks brutal on both ends. Hasn't altered a shot, blew multiple pick and roll coverages couldn't finish or rebound in traffic.

Art can rebound but looks short-armed and unaware defensively.

Erden looks average and Harangody has nailed his shots, but I fear he won't be able to get that thing off against NBA competition (fires it from his hip).

Erden...hard to judge because he has received two passes while he's in a position to score. One was the dunk, which he didn't double pump like Perk  , and the other was a miss off a Laf. drive and dish. He did hit a cutter on a nice feed from the high post and he looks to have very good hands. On defense, he looks to be very mobile for a big man, often wedging out to defend the screen and roll and then recovering for his man. I think he might be best served as a 4 on defense and will probably struggle defending the more physical players on D. Reminds me a little bit Krstic.

Harangody...I think he'll be able to get it off in the NBA. If Marion does so can he. I see him more of a stretch 4 than a big 3. Could be the type of shooter at the 4 that Scal was supposed to be.

Harangody looks good off of pick and pops.

lafayette and harangody look great...erden and gaffney not so much

[jackson_34]

Scal, I mean Harangoody looks good (what's with his free throw action though? needs some attention I would say).

Erden is a bit meh, but I completely expected this. He is getting outrebounded fairly consistently.

Lafayette is playing solid ball.

Ollie LaFayette, Harangody and Parkahouski are all likes im my book so far.

[Evantime34]

Looks like Lafayette and Gody are here to stay. Erden looks like a project, but he does have the size and seems to be moving fairly well.

[Change]

Question: Lafayette is signed, right?

[Marqui]

I really like Thompson. He can looks like he can shoot and get to the line at will.

[Actionjakson]

Gody looks really good. His shot is ugly but he is hitting it. 19 points through three is very good

[snively]

Question: Lafayette is signed, right?

Yes, to a non-guaranteed deal.

Art P looks about 5 times better than Erden

[snively]

How much would it suck for OKC if that turns out to be something serious?

[Eddie20]

Art P looks about 5 times better than Erden

I would agree with that. It's all about upside with these guys and I definitely think Erden has much more.

Harangody's offense looks like it will translate to the NBA game. His question marks are heavily skewed towards the defensive end.
