    4 years for Hill is fine. He's not a ball dominant guard so he'll be a great mentor for Fox/Hield/Bogdanovic.

    Z-Bo for 2 years is also about right, gives their young bigs in Skal/Giles/WCS etc etc a good mentor down low.

    Length and value of contracts are good for those two imo.

    @Ordinary Joel have your magic done anything this offseason?

    I'm not even trying to be a d-ck but I legit don't recall hearing their name involved in well.... anything really. May have forgotten something.

    Not like my Lakers are making a big splash though either. :wellsht:

    We're content with mediocrity. The only exciting news about us is "which undrafted rookie is gonna make our opening night roster!?"

    Aside from being linked with Joe Ingles at one stage we haven't been active like at all. I think we'll be tanking hard.

    He's entering his 4th year but he missed his entire sophomore season due to injury.

    He only played 1 SL game the year he was injured & didn't play in the SL last year. So this is really his 1st time really playing in the SL since his rookie season.

    His situation is weird though. I haven't watched him play but he's a 4th yr player so he should be dominating.

    Doesn't look like he's developed anything since coming into the league. Got a quick first step but that's about it. Handle still looks shaky and his jumper is not good. His body stayed basically the same as well.

    MCW type player.

    Dante has been mismanaged as well, he was in a difficult situation anyway, being quite young and competing for more minutes in a playoff team in the West.

    Still got high hopes for him, obviously has great defensive potential. But to really be someone you gotta have great offence for a starting PG.

    Idk, Utah has had a pretty solid team for a few years now and has a track record of developing their young guys. That PG spot has essentially been his to lose.

    I suppose so, although last season was the first time they made the playoffs in a while. His 1st season wouldve been hard at 19 going from Australian programs directly to the NBA. 2nd year he was out all year, 3rd year he was behind George Hill and I guess he was still recovering from injury, it was an ACL afterall. He needs to breakout this season, he's done everything right so far in the Summer league I hope he keeps it up.


    I'd take him at the Sixers so he can reunite with Simmons :ohno:

    Will be tough for him this year with Rubio around. He's still only 21 though so you never know.

    Boston got a W drafting Jayson Tatum, good shot creators usually hit superstar status.
