Shai, Sin, and Jawun all looking solid. Jawun should be more assertive offensively IMO.

Luc byke. That’s surprising.
P C H - you got some inside intel on what’s going on with Trezz? At this point, I’m surprised I haven’t heard anything about other teams being interested in him. But also kind of glad because I want him back with us.

Might as well make him head coach.
Doc+ Young players doesn't sound promising.
Can't think of any young players that he has developed.
Well this is ridiculous, what young players has he had other than Austin Rivers who were good?
You can criticize his late drafting, but none of the young guys the clippers have had sans Austin were NBA players.
What young guy was actually good here? Who is even still in the NBA?
What doc did last year with young guys showed that he isn't averse to playing young players, so long as they're actually of quality.
I said I couldn't think of any.
Now that you're calling what I said ridiculous, let's look it up:
Corey Maggette Orlando Magic Rookie 1999- Did not do anything till he got to the clippers
Mike Miller Orlando Magic Rookie 2000- Are we giving Doc Credit for him having a long career as a shooter? Shooters gonna shoot, and that's all Mike Miller ever did in his career so I'm not giving Doc credit for Millers career either.
Steven Hunter Orlando Magic 2002- He was a project big man with solid potential. Nothing ever materialized with him.
Keith Bogans Orlando Magic 2003- Basically nothing from a kid out of a Kentucky program
Reece Gaines Orlando Magic 2003- No development under Doc
Drew Gooden Orlando Magic 2003- He was in his first year, criminally underperformed considering how highly touted he was coming out of college
Zaza Pachulia Orlando Magic- LOL
Tony Allen Boston Celtics 2004- OK NOW HERE IS ONE I CAN GIVE DOC CREDIT FOR. Thats 1 for 8 so far
Marcus Banks Celtics 2004- he was in his first year... no development
Al Jefferson Celtics 2004- This was a major failure by Doc to the point where Boston let him go... Jefferson ended up being an allstar after getting away from Doc if my memory serves me correctly.
Delonte West Celtics 2004- He never flourished under Doc I don't think but he was a solid player later on.
Gerald Green 2005- Nah
Rondo- I think he was gonna be good regardless of who was coaching him but lets just go ahead and give Doc credit for developing Rondo anyway.
Thats 2 players out of 13 that doc developed into serviceable NBA players.
I could keep going but you get the point.
Not giving a Rookie a chance usually ends up being, coach didn't develop him and give him adequate opportunities. It's not always "well the draft picks were late and they sucked".
If I'm wrong about any of the names listed, by all means correct me, but please spare me the NT overreaction crap. That's annoying and I'm not getting into it today.
^^^ BTW, Reggie Bullock actually had a pretty solid season for Detroit last year. Just saying. 11 ppg in 25 minutes and shot 43 percent from 3. Not all-star level, but not bad...

REALLY good read on SGA and Reobinson and what our FO envisions them becoming.
We gotta make some moves and get these guys more minutes, man. This is why I wanted multiple picks. All we gotta do is hit on one of Sin, Jawun, SGA, or Robinson. If any of them become an all star, we're in a really good spot.
^^^ It’s kind of funny to me how salty some Clippers fans are that we didn’t trade for Kawhi. I don’t think they realize that we gave up our best player and best young prospect for him, like Toronto did, we’re probably no better than a 4 or 5 seed in the West.
Plus, San Antonio didn’t like our assets and preferred to send Kawhi to the East. Not much out FO can do about that.
People seem to think that Jerry West should be able to Jedi mind trick players to sign with us and teams to trade with us. Doesn’t work that way.
