    He was bad.

    I had hoped for him but he doesn’t have it.

    You're going to start seeing a lot of Exhibit 10 sign and waives. The player essentially gets an (up to) $50k signing bonus if he passes through waivers and signs with that team's G-League affiliate. Players like it because they get paid, agents like it because it builds the player's trust in them, and teams like it because it (in a way) gives them the player's GL rights.

    Yes, they are called "Affiliate Players" -- players cut from an NBA team when trimming rosters in Sept/Oct.

    https://gleague.nba.com/affiliate-players/

    It gives NBA teams the right to protect up to 4 players from the G-League draft. It's not NBA rights, though. Players are still free agents for any other FIBA league (including the NBA), but their G-League rights are controlled. We did it with Sampson and Angel, too. This has nothing to do with Two-Way Contracts.

    I don't see Zhou Qi is too much better than him. In fact, I feel Bruno might have a higher upside than Qi.

    I wanted Bruno to be good so bad. He just wasn't ready. May never be. But honestly we don't need them all to be home runs. I'm very pleased with how MCW and Gary Clark are doing. If those continue to look as good as they have then we're going to be very deep.

    Nah I’d say NeNe gets shipped out before this happening. He’s old and ineffective

    Chriss has Terrance Jones vibes. We’re in win now mode plus we need Nene against Adams.

    He looked good in camp but sucks in preseason. He’s going to Vipers maybe next year for Bruno

    God Quese didn’t look this bad in PHX. He looked like he had some talent. He just needs direction I think he can be a very effective center with time

    Bruno isn’t an NBA player.

    Chriss isn’t an NBA player either.

    They both look like like NBA players but that doesn’t make them NBA players.
