YEs but I wouldn't read much into it. Fredette averages like 36ppg in their league.

To Kyle's credit, he's looked good against non-Chinese summer league competition though.
And answered the questions about his court vision to boot.
To be fair, he also has 6 years and 241 games of NBA experience.

Talking about how he's been fouling too much when he only has two in this game.

The fact that they praised Kyle Guy as if he were a totally different player from the guy they said they would see in the G-League makes me think that the defense and fouling stuff was about China's Guo.

Me too if he could just finish at the rim. Heck of a rebounder.

Haven't been able to cat h a game yet, but ecstatic to hear at least 1 of this years picks might pan out
For this game, China was grandfathered in under international rules.
With the exception of jacking up 2 shots at the end of a blowout, Guy plays very well within the offense. Very high IQ. He makes the right play. He gets to his spots and sets up team mates very well. This game he had 5 assists, he would have more if people (looking at you Gabriel) could make some point-blank shots. He hit some corner threes this game; last game he had 4 three balls, so I think it's pretty safe to say he can shoot the 3. Past the deep-shot, he had a nice turnaround jumper and even finished with his left hand on a drive for an and-one. So he doesn't shy away from contact. He even gets up for rebounds on the offensive end.
Defense is still up in the air. The point guard for China had 20 and 5 assists, so Guy didn't slow him down very much. He overplays and goes for fakes a lot. He works hard on the defensive end, but he appeared to be out of optimal defensive position frequently.

What quarter was this in? I never heard them say anything but good things about Guy.
His defense wasn’t as bad as everyone keeps saying. The main issue he has is falling asleep and losing his man while off the ball. He was fighting through screens but no one was hedging to prevent his man from turning the corner on him. If they weren’t going to hedge then they should either rotate or go under the screen.

The last few minutes of the 4th.
Oh. I’ll need to watch that then, fell asleep last night in the beginning of the fourth lol.

I wanted Vlade to make a salary dump trade to draft Kabengele. He’s looking good thus far through 3 games. Really bummed Vlade didn’t make a move to draft a C who would complement both Bagley and Giles long term. It would have made for a really good 3 big rotation in a couple years.

I would have taken Bol Bol at #40 so we’ll see how he pans out... but wanted Roby at #47. He’s looked good so far too. All he needs is to focus on getting his 3pt shot down.

Christon dribbles way to much.
I wanna see some P&R's initiated by James & Guy.

Been trying to tell people this since the season ended. Swanigan isn't even as good as Jack Cooley.

I am not happy with how the coaching staff is running their backcourt. If you are going to run glorified SG's at PG then play Guy and James there.

He is, but I think he's given up. That Holmes signing probably did him in. He went from thinking he had a shot if he went all out to the fact that there is no chance.

no doubt- I feel like James has much more offensive skill then what we're seeing.
Then he should have lost more weight before coming to camp

Who knows if they let loose with him but I think James might be playing in the G-league full time this year or maybe overseas. He has athletic ability but we haven't seen much to suggest he's worth spending resources on this year.
