To quote Sam Cassell "Bradley Beal is the least of my worries"

Is that a good thing or bad thing....

I been away from the computer since yesterday afternoon. So happy that that bum got waived. I do wish him well on his future endeavors

A great thing. I've been watching Summer League play and Beal gets it. You keep hearing how his mature his game is and then when you see it yourself you understand what people mean by that. There are some players in Summer League that are putting up big numbers but it seems more in an effort to show off their skills then it is within the team concept. As the 3rd pick in the draft I'm sure he has the green light to jack up a lot of shots but he's taken very good shots within the offense. Even though he hasn't shot well he has done everything else including playing defense, gathering assists, rebounding and driving to the basket. He's really going to be a great addition to this team. He'll fit right in.

Outside of being shot, does this not sum up the Andray Blatche era in Washington?

Summer league is all about adding things to your game and testing them out in game environments. As someone else wrote, the process is more important than the results. It'll be that way throughout the season as he develops.

Coaches don't focus on makes and misses for any player anyway. He just needs to take good shots and run his plays on offense.

With respect to that, I've been impressed with his assist numbers and his willingness to pass the ball (unlike Crawford and Young). That goes a long way towards keeping the offense in flow.

In the summer league, I only get worried if a player looks like he doesn't belong. Everything else is a work in progress.

Mustafa Shakur

Yo man, leave Mustafa 2pac Shakur alone! lol
I use to insert him in the starting lineup in NBA Live 10 online against people. I would straight cook with him too. Scored 30+ with him everytime.

Mack is utterly hopeless. I actually liked the pick at the time, but he complete lacks the size and speed needed to play at this level. Really need to find a way to get a vet PG to backup Wall.

Satoransky has been better.

Nuggets re-sign C McGee to 4-year, $44M deal espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id… - wow... Javale Mcgee the second coming of Jerome James

[oscarsandman]

Glad Ernie didn't have the chance to give him this contract. He wouldve gave him $50 mil.

I'm not a huge Javale fan, but that comment from Eddie Huang is idiotic. He's better than DeAndre Jordan and everyone knew he was going to get paid. To even suggest that he's the 2nd coming of Jerome James shows that dude has very little b-ball knowledge.
