Are you trying to tell me that the failed lottery pick who is currently on an Exhibit 10 contract.... isn't very good!?!?!

I actually thought Knox looked good.

 

[Whyachi]

Not gonna lie, Sharpe did not really give me confidence in his growth.

I think he only played like 4 minutes. I may have overreacted when I said he looked lost

 

[Natebishop3]

Camara strikes me as too small to be a power forward. He's built like Jerome Kersey.

 

[Natebishop3]

I like Camara a lot so far.

13 minutes.

 

[B-Roy]

Our 3rd stringers have higher +/- than our starters lol.

 

[illmatic99]

Ok Camara.

7 straight points. And counting

 

[Tince]

Camara!

Coaches aren't using him correctly

 

[Natebishop3]

Coaches aren't using him correctly

Yup. They should move him further down the bench

 

[illmatic99]

Camara cant miss

 

[Natebishop3]

Camara is gonna play himself into the rotation.

 

[Natebishop3]

The thing that's gonna hurt Camara is that I don't think he's a power forward, and we don't have minutes at small forward right now.

 

[Natebishop3]

Murray is out there and he's invisible.

 

[Tince]

Camara is gonna play himself into the rotation.

Let's not get carried away

 

[Natebishop3]

Rupert, Camara, and Murray are all kinda built the same.

 

[Tince]

Rupert, Camara, and Murray are all kinda built the same.

Like third-stringers

 

[Natebishop3]

Let's not get carried away

I think if we move Brogdon, and free up minutes at guard for Sharpe, there could be some time for Camara at small forward.

 

[illmatic99]

Last week I comped Camara to Kuzma.

Still kinda like that idea.

 

[theprunetang]

Camara reminds me of the Morris twins when they were young, as body type and possible role.

I can pencil you in for at least one comment every game about Scoot's defense, right?

I wasn’t the only one who commented about the defense of the backcourt. I think I was maybe 4th or 5th.

It’s just an observation. Are you going to ignore how I said I was impressed with Ayton and Scoot also?

And if Scoot is in foul trouble (4 fouls) with 10 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, you bet your ass you’re gonna see more comments about his defense.

You’ll also see more about Simons defense as well.

If you want, you can look at my post history and see me bitch about Dame, CJ, and Simons (Sharpe too) in the past as well.

Consistency.

I hold em to the same standard. You act like it’s a Scoot-specific topic. It’s not.

 

[tlongII]

A lot of over-reaction in this thread.

I suppose. We're going to see a lot of people play this year. Not because they earned it though

Wouldn't expect anything less!

At this point all I care about is if Scoot and Simons are active on defense. Fouls can mean they're active, but they can also reflect stupid decisions. I guess we'll see how they look on Thursday.

 

[B-Roy]

Lights, Camara, Action.

 

[Mediocre Man]

@THE HCP

Normally I just give my yard guys $100 each for Christmas

 

[FlashWad]

Muarry looks like a bad draft pick more and more

 

[Whyachi]

13 minutes.

lies !! The time keeper got a c-note from Cronin to mark that down

That's a very odd statement.
