Risacher and Buzelis are really good. I will dive deep into them and more

Reed is like a poor man’s Steph curry meets a poor man’s Chris Paul aka mark price

[@Aventsdor]

First team all nba mark price

[@bcs259]

@@Aventsdorpeople just don’t know how good he was for a period of time. If reed is even close to mark price the rockets are extremely lucky

[@darrylmostella8238]

That’s not a bad comparison he’s goin be nice nice

[@Flamerunner451]

Mark Price was a great player, y’all just disrespectful for no reason

[@kingmoz]

@@Flamerunner451 yeah I meant this as a compliment

[@DaveMcNulla]

Good info. I saw Sam’s hat from across T&M but didn’t see Bryce. I thought Reed played awesome. Was happy with Castle. Bouyae, Mensah, Ward impressed me on the Spurs.

[@bd2378]

Where did you talk about Kel'el Ware previously? I'm impressed. An aside, Whitmore's feel and decision-making worry me. Freak athlete, I drafted him in a dynasty league, but I seriously question if he'll improve much on these weaknesses.

[@GameTheoryPodcastwSamVecenie]

Think it was the one immediately prior to this, or the one right before that one.

Bryce being down on himself for watching Summer League games live like a normal fan would worries me-It’s alright to be distracted man! We all do it, I know I’m certainly messing around with gacha or reading during points of live games Forgot Sam is there, will have to keep an eye out for him during remaining Pacers games

[@15awesomehighfive]

You have to remember the Knicks were broken by the end of the playoffs. Brunson broke his hand. A freak injury like that could derail his season and his contract expectations. Plus, Timmy and Manu also took less to stay together. Prioritizing the here and now and the collective is not only the safe bet but also awesome and should be rewarded.

How do you storyboard a video project like this?

[@rjonesy3480]

I got two words for ya. Furph God.

[@ThegreatCmajor]

Sam, great show…..but make your bed!!!

[@ashwrightyy]

Furphy looking much better than a second round pick, think you had him down at 28 Sam?

[@GameTheoryPodcastwSamVecenie]

Think I had him in that ballpark, yeah. Has looked good! Excited to see him perform.

[@best_buy_hr]

"We're going to talk about Jordan here momentarily." It never happened.

[@CombatLegsVIDS]

Reed was getting locked up. How do y'all praise Reed as a certified star but then say Summer League essentially doesn't matter 💀

[@Aventsdor]

Reed was getting locked up cause he was playing 1v5 on offense

[@mrfortwash]

⁠@@Aventsdorexcuse..he was getting plucked and blocked…he looked average. Can’t put too much into summer league…so if you were hyping him the 2 games before then you gotta factor his struggles in game 3 as well.

[@Aventsdor]

@@mrfortwashnot an excuse his second best player shot 1/15

[@maluplayer1]

People are forgetting that the rockets played 3 games in 4 nights...I think that played a big factor in the teams poor play.

[@plegus5927]

Lol butthurt 😊

[@georgesiew6203]

The real deal to strike between Toronto and NO is Bruce Brown + Jakob Poeltl + Ochai Agbaji = CJ McCullum + Herb Jones + Lottery Protected 1st. NO gets a decent center and some player depth. Plus gets to dump CJ's salary. Toronto eats CJ's salary to get Herb Jones on a good contract and a lottery protected 1st. With Bruce Brown and Ochai Agbaji's money coming off the books next year NO has the flexibility to give BI's his big deal. Then if they don't like the chemistry they can deal him then for a better return.

[@kevinb1277]

Victor is not better than Lauri RIGHT now what are we doing here guys

[@jackbirch6816]

He definitely is Kev

[@kevinb1277]

@@jackbirch6816 It's patently false unless you're projecting a massive second year jump. If it IS true then their discussion around keeping Lauri and that interfering with their attempt to get a top 5 pick is completely illogical since the Spurs were absolutely horrid last year even with Wemby.

[@goodhair420]

@@kevinb1277wembys last 20 games showed he’s better than Lauri

[@GameTheoryPodcastwSamVecenie]

By the end of the season last year, Victor was unequivocally better than Lauri when accounting for his massive defensive impact. Would say he was pretty clearly straight up better in the second half of the season. Even the full-season all-in one stats I believe preferred Victor's season to Lauri's. And truly just like...the level to which Victor started to change the game on defense in the second half of the year was staggering.
