SKAL BACK

Random af.
I think the issue with Skal that I noticed was that I think he lacked confidence.
His shot was wet and I think his post game was ok?
Him being able to hit that midrange off a pick and roll would be a pretty nice asset.
This is such a random pickup there must have been something in the advanced stats that management picked up

We have officially reached "somebody's gotta get cut in training camp" territory, because we're up to 16 NBA contracts (three I believe are unguaranteed, or at least not fully guaranteed):
Fox/Mitchell
Huerter/Monk/Colby
Barnes/Duarte/Edwards
Keegan/Vezenkov/Lyles
Sabonis/Len/Queta(U)/Noel(U)/Skal(U)
Looks like we've sacrificed the third-string point guard in favor of a shootout at the backup C position. I guess we're mostly counting on running our offense through Domas (and maybe Sasha?) if we end up having a injury? I guess there's Monk/Colby/Ellis(2-way) but they may not be ideal floor generals. Not that Delly did much for us last year, so...

I mean, Delly was a great Ast coach/locker room guy, but fairly cringy every time he actually stepped on the floor. I would have much rather we just turned the PG duties over to Monk in those minutes instead.
I like the bet of us really trying to nail back-up C. Which was by far the weakest spot on the team last year. If Fox goes down, we can tap Davion/Monk/Jones, bring up Keon, give Huerter more ball-handling etc. Not super ideal obviously, but about as good as you could hope if your star player goes down.
Think it comes down to that Noel/Queta/Skal are far more likely to see important minutes if Domas gets hurt than would a Jordan Ford. That makes it more valuable to get that decision right to me.

Labissiere has been out of the League the last couple seasons. I think for him these are baby steps in trying to get his NBA career back on track.
The fact that he's willing to take this offer when it likely means he plays in the GLeague all season means he's hungry. Hopefully with a solid coaching and support staff he can make the most of this opportunity.
