    Everything he does is great, so he did have a great game. Even when he makes a mistake, it's a great mistake.

    The average number of shots taken for the starters was 13.2, he took 13. So About average vs the other starters, was he really a ball hog? I honestly just don't like the guy, I think there will be some character issues that come up, hopefully he gets it together, otherwise I wouldn't mind him traded.

    Shouldn't play more than 18-20 mpg... I like him as a hooper ... He's erratic but fearless which fits perfectly for a young squad... When they're serious about winning, tell him get his priorities in order and look for a suitable trade partner...

    I like him as our 6th man off the bench when we lift off. Maybe Im just elated after these 3 games but I truly believe in Smith, Eason and Washington as players who have floors of good player on good team and ceilings of who knows what.

    Sengun
    Smith
    Eason
    Green/Christopher
    KPJ/Washington

    Need to be what we grow around.

    To be fair, a scapegoat is unfairly blamed

    Saying JC is not passing is not unfair...

    I think Garuba will end up with the Escaping Goat title when all is said and done.

    Btw, why isn't he playing right now? Is he injured from all of his lack of play last year?

    He's the SL vet and trying to raise his game and it shows. He trying to do much, playing as fast as he can't instead of as fast as he can.

    When he’s the 6th man everyone loves him when he’s taking shots away from the rookies nobody likes him anymore. I’d rather him not play any more summer league but I didn’t find him particularly annoying tonight. I was too busy watching Jabari and Tari put clamps on people.

    I love JChris, but not sure why he has to show off in SL. He is already on the squad.

    It should be the 3 1st rounders, Nix, and other scrubs trying to make the Vipers.

    I don't want no scrub. A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me. Hangin' out the passenger side, tryna to hitch a ride from our Summer League guide... named Josh Christopher. No scrubs.

    Also, bump... because Tari isn't the only one that should be gettin' love on CF... Jaygup, Nix, Jabari, Tyty... dudes all balled out tonight against them Spurs.

    JC is a good backup 2 for this team, still developing, still tanking. He can't pass for shut. He's like a black Jamal Crawford light. This team needs a true pg.

    He reminds me a lot of JR Smith.
