Yo guys, I just had a tryouts with Sneakers n Stuff and dropped 2 points, 9 assists, 11 rebounds, and 4 steals!!! They told me I basically locked down the sixth man role which is amazing!

I can't wait to play with Garrick Dreamchaser Wilson since we are both such similar players (defense/passing)!! We gonna lock Hezi Carter down this year, I'll keep y'all updated if you are interested!!

"Wiseman committed five fouls and was minus-13 in the loss, the worst among Santa Cruz starters" -- in G-League action last night. A project in progress...

I have been invited by a friend to see the SC Warrior game on December 11, Jewish Heritage night. My thoughts went back and forth as follows:

On the one hand, I like this friend. I'm Jewish. We both are.

On the other hand, Heritage Nights I find annoying if not condescending. Please no menorah lighting please, cringe-o-rama

On the original hand: hey it's a Warrior game, I might see Wiseman play.

On the other hand, I might have to see Wiseman play.

And on the original hand, with a name like Wiseman maybe he's a fellow Jew.

But: I doubt it.

Since we're playing Houston, I really hope we keep Kevin Porter, Jr. under 40.

Sorry for the delay, preview will be up around 10am today. Thanks for your patience

Maybe the whole problem is there was some change in Dubs travel staff and they're getting thrown off by staying in worse hotels and taking worse flights than they're used to! 😉

Surprised that *certain posters* aren't fretting that Wiseman's presence in SC could be impacting Trevion Williams' development.

What happened to Pat Spencer? Box score says 0 minutes. Is he injured?

Meanwhile, McClung went off for 44 pts against the Raptors 905 in his last game. Why was he not considered good enough again?

Just finished the SC game. Why didn’t anyone warn me? What happened to PBJ’s jumper, Santos’ feel for the game, and Rollins’ .. everything? I’m gonna go wash my eyes.

Wiseman plays basketball like it is a second language.

Quiñones and Santos are sooo bad. Kind of incredible that either was ever considered for a two-way. And kind of incredible that PBJ and Rollins have guaranteed roster spots on a defending NBA champ, tbh.

Santos needs to work on his defensive stance, too much hunching of the back & not enough bending of the knees

Sea Dubs have 26 turnovers with 8 minutes left in the 4th lmaoooooo

Coaches' plan for Wiseman as reported by the sideline reporter (forgot her name). Nothing that interesting... apparently screens are not on the menu.

* work on PnR defense, specifically citing footwork

* be solid defender down low and alter shots

* finish around basket and make quick decisions

OT: Kind of trippy seeing "Livingston" playing for SCW

No surprise, but Wiseman still looks the same.

Late making reads on offense and defense, commits to both his hands up defending drives too early, giving ball handlers plenty of time to go around. Weak screens.

At least seems to have the green light to take some 3s.
