Anderson being defended successfully if you just stay solid. Reaching/jumping to block his shot are when he kills you.

My nigga wayne doing work. Just needed to get some minutes :flag:

livio shot on the way down that time eesh

It's too bad for Anderson that not all games are back-to-back.

Kinda wish Jonathan Holmes was playing on our SL team.

Well at least Kyle rebounds consistently if anything

Livio with 5 fouls already

Charles is getting worse

You were right. He might foul out. :lmao

Anderson has a knack for getting steals, Livio is getting worse.

Celtics have some great young players to build around.

So far the best thing Anderson does is rebound well....Man Livio has bad hands i don't know if he will be even close to ready next year.

Yeah with no star. If one becomes available, they are a likely destination.

He's not coming next year
It's been announced he'll play at France in 15/16

Boston Celtics @celtics
James Young (left hip bruise) will not return to tonight's game.

Livio is a long term project, still 2-3 yrs away from being a regular rotational player in my opnion.

Sigh... lots of athleticism but he doesn't get development over at ASVEL. He's been there 2 years already and there's just no progress.

I think the ACL tear hindered his development but damn his shot looks terrible.

The kid missed almost an entire season cause of a major knee injury..No reason to rush this kid with the spurs competing for championships in the near future

Dairis Bertans or Cady Lalanne seem the only possibles still.

Although it's possible a guy like Blackshear or Graham gets hot and garners a camp invite.

Lalanne is a definite choice for camp and Bertans is 50/50 in my opinion..

Nice 3 from Dairis

Actually I think Bertans is more likely to head to camp than Lalanne. In order to attend camp they will have to sign the player to a contract. If the player doesn't make it out of camp then they'll have to be waived...along with their rights. Unless they feel confident that Lalanne can and will win a roster spot I doubt they put themselves in a position where they might have to waive him. I think it's more likely they just let him sign in Europe and skip camp if they're unsure on the outcome. Thats been their modus operandi at least over the years...

Bertans on the other hand...they don't own his rights at all. Hes literally just a street free agent. So waiving him out of camp doesn't have any adverse effect.
