I think Andray is as well, although he is still held back somewhat by conditioning. I don't know whether that's someting he can significantly change, or if it is just a fact of his body that he can't develop sufficient lung capacity. As to Pech and Young reaching their 'potential,' I don't know how much potential they really have beyond what they're showing. McGee is another story -- so far, he looks to have tremendous talent. And his frame would easily absorb another 20 lbs and hardly show it. McGuire is already taking steps — he is playing at a much higher level than he did last summer.

He just signed w/ Phoenix for the veteran minimum (less than $1m in his case). We’ve talked some about Matt Barnes as a potential 15th guy, backing up the wing, who would be a good fit.

Most just reach their arms up and get on their toes. He needs time to work on his shots and time in the weight room. If a couple of these kids (Blatche, McGuire, Young, McGee, Pecherov) live up to their potential in time to play with the big three we'll be really good.

For some reason it was really jerky and kept stopping every 10 seconds. Maybe it's my wireless router. Any way I just wanted to say I was wrong about Veremeenko, the guy can actually jump which I saw in the game against the Rockets. He took a few rebounds. Maybe I was disappointed in the first or was it the second game when he did an under the basket shot, but did not jump at all. I wasn’t able to watch the webcast last night.

I have no idea why they just threw away the offense and played sandlot. A few minutes in Wes jr. even put the staters back in but it didn't help much. Dominic played his third solid all around game in a row. His play is very encouraging. I'm not nearly as worried about the 3 as I was a week ago. I may be a little more worried than I was about the 2 though. It was a good competetive ball game until the 4th. I have no idea why they just threw away the offense and played sandlot.

I didn't get to see much after the first quarter. Elegar went to Wake Forest. Forbes found it impossible to put up numbers in the Summer League -- he probably doesn't translate into the NBA. He'll make a living playing ball, tho, I'm pretty sure of that. I'm sure we'll all start talking through the SL experience tomorrow. Well, we obviously went South in the 4th quarter, outscored 30-6.
