They are the worst G-League franchise in history. What makes you think they could put together a good SL roster, though that Buzelis looks liike a generational talent. Maybe we get lucky and win the lottery next year.
Our G-League team sucks at rebounding too.
Lively's hands looked pretty good on that transition dunk
It's like watching the Washington Generals.

We need a rebounder period. Lively´s hands, reaction times and 2nd jumps don´t look any better tonight. He won´t rebound early on in his career. OMax is no rebounder either. Just a minimum guy like Bitadze that can grab 7-8 boards in 18 minutes would help, otherwise we are a lock for 30th in rebounding again. Guess that´s what makes us so desperate for Capela. He´ll probably grab 15 RPG and Luka gets mad at him from stealing his triple doubles.

They are outrebounding the 76ers but that´s probably more about the amount of opportunities on the offensive board.

At least add another big on a two-way contract. If no one picks them up Azubuike, Queta or Yurtseven are good options.
Hardy getting blocked and stripped at will.
Love what Morey does with summer league and G-league. Find interesting guys who at least have a shot to be NBA players. Every year he hits fast and usually finds a few guys who have a shot.
Mavs getting out worked. Let’s see how they respond. Philly much more aggressive and sharp.

"On a whole other level". Just like Dudley said. Worse decision making, handles and shooting.
Moore and O'Max are the only standouts so far...at least in a positive way.
I might have to back off my prediction on Lively and O'Max minutes for the big boy squad.
They better stop Smith. His dribble penetration is problematic.
Hardy primary ballhandler experience is painful to watch. Way to early overreaction. Now I understand why they felt the need to add Curry.
Lively is 2-3 years away. That´s why they could/should have signed a guy like Bamba, who is only 25 and also takes away some unfair saviour expectations from Lively.
If you showed me this game and asked me what Lively is good at, I´d probably say nothing.

Knowing nothing of his college career, that would be my takeaway.
Lively barely bother Chet, now not bothering Petrusev at all, though nice dunk that was

Actually he did bother Chet a lot, which makes me think less of Chet now.

I suppose that answers questions 1 and 2!
This was posted earlier. He scored 47. Still the SL record 14 years later. He also was undrafted so he holds that mark too.

Early on, then Chet got more comfortable in the paint
No block out on rebounds at the free throw line. That's a no-no.
