  1. What do you think, David? Did Walker look like at least a top 20 center in the NBA last night? Curious what the defensive rating was when he was on the floor versus off.

    I thought Zach tried to punk Walker a little in that Summer League game, and it motivates Walker for this match-up. Good to see him respond like that. He keeps this up, Danny will start asking for 3 1st rd picks for him (not that I want him traded).

  2. It seemed like we struggled, just simply dribbling the ball last night. Keyonte we are 100% rooting for you. We love you. Know this Key…once you figure out that your success will come as will our team.
