. miss first 8 shots than make next 8.
Giles is as good as advertised. Already highly skilled. Great defensive instincts and intensity. Clearly a competitor. And he has managed to stay on the floor for 4 games in 6 days. Considering this is the first competitive basketball he is really played at full strength in 3 years I think he is just getting started.
I have seen enough to draw this conclusion. Giles is engaged on both ends. He cares about defending. Willie is disinterested. Giles also refuses to cede his ground. Willie gives ground. Harry also is comfortable away from the basket. Willie is lost away from the basket. Harry keeps his feet. Willie falls down. These are dramatic distinctions.

Yeah I mean not sure if people are aware of the Hillcrest High situation here but they hired Marvins father as an assistant........ and then there was some negativity surrounding the program so Marvin dropped like 50-something and then all of a sudden the Bagley family left, the younger brother Marcus was enrolled there too.
I don't think Frank Mason should be a lock to make our team... But then I watch SL and see all these others "PGs" who can't dribble the ball past half-court. Mason lacks vision with questionable IQ. He plays like a selfish undrafted PG fighting for an NBA roster. He doesn't need to go out there and play this way when he already has a guaranteed roster spot.
In the regular season, I pointed these things out. He takes low % shots and doesn't look for the easy pass.
However, backup PG isn't a bigger problem than starting SF. Mason would be a better starting PG than Jackson would be a starting SF imo. Very very close race that I wouldn't want to see.

I'm happy with everything besides the guard play. Terrible.
Bagley showed competence, ran the floor well enough, got some boards, and some shots off even if he was cold from the outside. Decent game defensively instead of getting hosed. I think the smaller guys are his biggest threats to beat him defensively.
Giles, well done big fella. Complete game, tough & nasty.

I don't think so. Justin Jackson is trash. I'd say trash as your starting SF is a fairly significant concern given quality of starting SF in the West (Durant, LeBron, George, Josh Jackson, Ingles, etc). Mason can hold his own against back-up PGs more than Jackson against these heavyweights, despite his struggles this summer. This is why I wanted LaVine. LaVine would have supplanted Jackson. Unless Vlade has another trick up his sleeve, we are screwed. Asking Boggy to play the 3 full time is untenable. We need to make a move.
