I really don’t understand why Nnaji hasn’t gotten more minutes as the only big on the roster.

I don’t keep up super closely with the other teams, but I’d be shocked if we weren’t the worst coached team in the league.

We are the worst and no it isn't close. It's to the point where I'm actually feeling guilty for being so hard on James Borrego.

Miller has looked better than Wemby so far...

He’s also played four games to Wemby’s one and he hasn’t looked anything but average to below average.

I’m one of the few that wanted Miller but some of the concerns I had about him are already rearing their head.

They just showed the top 5 scoring games in Summer League history and none of the 5 players were all stars. I think all of them were role players or journeymen.

 

Im not worried about Miller he will be fine when he plays with legit players who can actually play the game of basketball.

One thing the broadcast pointed out was that Steph and I believe they said KD, both struggled in their first taste of summer league action.

It’s difficult because us humans are impatient creatures but in reality nothing that anyone does this week will have any bearing on where they are five years from now.

I certainly wish Miller was dropping 20 point games on 50% shooting but he’s not a finished product.

So far not impressed. Watched a bit of the Lakers game today and we look lethargic. Lakers got some easy transition baskets and dunks. We seemed to have no teamwork or grit. That's bad.  Can't be a finesse team that is sloppy. Or a bad shooting team that can't grind. Right now I see a sloppy, bad shooting team that doesn't hustle for rebounds or play defense very well. I know it's summer league.  I see the logo on the court but we are lacking point blank. This summer league is a showcase for our developing players and recent draft picks and I'm not impressed.

Yeah im not even worried about Miller making shots. That will come.

 

His shot creation is his weakness right now. But even watching him with the ball you can see he can develop that over time. His handles looked way better than I thought. It's just a matter of him being more confident with his movement. He seems weaker in his lower body. He needs to build up his leg strength maybe that will help with his first step burst.

 

 

I'm worried enough for the both of us.   I do think Miller can develop but it really depends on him. The coaching staff is not going to make it happen. He will get the minutes and play with our starters and honestly they are gonna have to carry him for awhile.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
