Yeah, I meant pathway to actual minutes. Mann and Coffey both better defensively than Miller, but he has more offensive juice. He's also good operating without ball in his hands. Agree with you assesemtb of the gleauge team. All for a grit n grind era of the clippers.

Diabate has no vert and is too much of a finesse player imo. Really wish we would have kept Hartenstein instead of chasing Wall because Pg and Kawhi were crying about ball handling responsibilities.

Teams ceiling right now is probably 5-6 seed. Floor is probably 9 or 10 seed.
Low key Miller is pretty stellar on defense as well. He's actually looking like a legit guy who plays on both ends of the court. We just can't have another season of Mann & Coffey passing up open shots and being hesitant on offense. And yeah choosing Wall over Hart was trash. I'm hoping that PG & Kawhi's input on roster moves is completely over with and actual team building takes place.

Me too. I live right up the way so I'm definitely going to be up there a ton. This video also confirms that Mr. Untouchable isn't going anywhere :wow:
Yeah. Hopefully deals for Zu and Mann are on the way. Mann's going to have a chance this year to show us he can be a viable option on this team with more opportunity.

Great summer league from all the guys (Brown, Miller, Christie, Diabate). Unfortunate Kobe couldn't knock down both free throws. I'm optimistic Christie might be ready earlier than expected. Would have liked to see Kai Jones out there to get a better idea of what we had. All the guys made Clippers management job tough as to how they're going to manage the roster and contracts and it's maybe a good problem to have.

I'm sorry, hot take here.. but I see this dude as a starter and the perfect guy to pair with Harden in the backcourt. He does it all. :lupe:





Kobe Brown, Cam Christie, and Diabate all shined and look promising. Could this new CBA-avoiding 1st & 2nd aprons be the best thing that's happened to us in a while from a front office point of view? :jbhmm:

I for sure thought Cam was 1-2 years away, but he looks advanced right out the gate. Hella confident with his shot too. Coffey, Powell, and Bones might become expendable.

I think the team's plan is to probably start Norm. But if he ends up getting traded, I'd be okay with Miller getting a look. I think there's another level between summer league/g league and starter, but he's shown a lot of glue guy roleplayer skills that will help the team.

I think he's a year away just because he needs the strength, but he's making shots in traffic and isn't scared to shoot. These are all great signs.

A none defensive backcourt in Harden and Norm would be :hhh:
