Thank you Timvp

The box score is wrong.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Can’t argue with your grades, you were pretty spot on

thanks for putting in the effort

Is Bassey the most consistent player so far this season? I can’t remember a bad game from him. Only monster rebounds, good blocks, and nice points in the paint.

Branham was hot fucking garbage. Dude is a walking F.

Thx!

Yeah, he's looking more and more like Walker redux (obviously a less athletic, more polished version). Vacillates between beating himself up too much and lacking confidence.

To offset his lack of rim pressure/free throws and defensive limitations, he obviously has to become a quality 3-point shooter to derive the efficiency he needs as a scorer . . . and in typical Spurs fashion, I'm sure it'll happen when he's on his second team.

He's also a poor fit next to Jones, though. Ideally, he'd be paired with a 3 and D guard, so that he can initiate more p-n-r and spend less time spotting up.

Seems solid and plays within his capabilities.

Surprised he hasn't gotten more minutes but obviously not one of the Pets.

Yes a great step in the right direction. Game where Devin and Victor score 58 is a good game. Thanks for the grades, spot on in my book.

Agree on all but Sochan. He was better than a C. Dude's never played PG in his life, the picking up the ball thing is easily correctable. While in the context of the game maybe those silly turnovers "mattered", in the not-even-that-long haul, he (probably) won't be making any more of those. I'm very high on this dude. Not as a PG, but as a possible spur for lifer.

[Fireball]

Those are the losses I am fine with. Spurs fought back. Wemby played well.

[GB20]

Thank you for the grade!!

[Joseph Kony]

You have the boxscore from the Knicks game on this one timvp. I was wondering how Wemby was -25 in a 7 point loss :lol
