Isn't there a site to stream this? I think it should be starting in an hour.

Didn't want to start a new thread... so I'll post it here.

They have some photos of practice today in Utah. Some of what Alexander is showing is making me excited to see him in a live game.

Dale Osborne just said Gerald Henderson is about 2-3 weeks away from playing

I agree about Cliff Alexander. He's even exciting in pictures. He just seems like that junkyard dog we need.

Great to see him out there doing that. Chris Kaman is a character but I don't think he's blowing smoke when he says that the guy should have been a first round pick. I've been watching a lot of footage on Cliff and I'm surprised he went undrafted.

I bet a lot of people might not know that Cliff played highschool ball vs Jahlil Okafor in Chicago. A place where a lot of big names seem to come out of. Cliff wasn't just some dude balling for some HS though, he was a big name athelete. The chicago tribune voted him player of the month his senior year in December. However he did not win the Mr. Basketball award mentioned in the article - That award went to Okafor. Alexander did however win the Sun Times player of the year award for 2014. Interesting quote from Sun Times writer Michael O'Brien on Alexander, I definitely recommend you read the entire article.

For the next 20 years, area big men likely will be compared to Alexander and Okafor — Alexander as the gold standard for speed, power and athleticism; Okafor for technique, poise and polish.

If Cliff is cleared to play and 100% he might find himself climbing the depth chart.

It could be really fun watching Alexander become a national "Who dat" story.

I like in the last picture it looks like Stotts is saying "Oooh, how I wish this was an outside shot."
