Neither are out of the league for good yet, Grizzlies were just too deep. Walt needs to figure some shit out but Peavy should play at the wing somewhere. Dude can really defend.
The Memphis Grizzlies are waiving 2025 No. 18 pick Walter Clayton Jr. and Micah Peavy, sources tell ESPN.

I’m starting to see it with Caleb Holt. He has a great baseline for a one and done to get immediate minutes in the NBA, and that’s a big deal. Defense, shooting, and athleticism can fit around stars. Could have sneaky upside as a creator? though he’s a long way from that rn
Caleb Holt screams elite 3&D shooting guard (+ more) with elite POA defense 📈 Extremely good looking jumpshot too, once he starts hitting 3s consistently things will get scary. Can’t wait to see him at Arizona this year! Can’t wait to see which NBA team drafts him in 2027 ⏳

Yeah this is pretty dark for Oregon. They don’t have anyone who can get from the 3pt line to the rim with the ball in their hands. Ewin, Compton, and Stewart aren’t good enough to run your offense through as post hubs. Tons of length but what else are we doing here
It’s just an exhibition, but there’s a scary low floor for Oregon after Dana Altman’s last-second retirement. Didn’t love the roster, and now it gets trucked by Seattle U (Chris Victor doing Chris Victor things). 25 turnovers. Ducks' point guard play leaves a lot to be desired

Marcis Ponder is HUGE at 7’0”/285 but this is particularly notable as a 19 year old freshman against Auburn, a team that rolled out Bukky Oboye (7’1”/230lb senior), and Narcisse Ngoy (7’0/280lb 22 year old 2nd round pick). To show up and dominate these two is a statement. 📈
Marcis Ponder is an actual monster 13 points & 21 (!!!) boards vs Auburn. 7’0” 285 lb freshman such a freak for FSU. Team has so much athleticism & size, Ponder being a prime example

I was arrested for protesting in Governor Hochul’s office. I do not like Hochul. But Blakeman is not only very dumb, he is also Trump’s stooge. I will be voting for Hochul this election.

Reminder that Duke Miles is still waiting for his chance in the NBA on the Philadelphia 76ers. Last season at Vanderbilt, the combo guard averaged 16.1pts/4.5ast with a 45 3PR, 27.4 AST%, and 2.5 A:TO, + was 4th in the nation in STL% (5.0). He shot 61% at the rim and 35% from 3

Ryan Moesch is like the most unassuming skinny white sub 6 foot freshman guard I've ever seen. But then he'll just blow by any defender in the country. Holy shit that dude is quick. Awesome player, makes Syracuse such a more fun team

UConn's Jayden Ross is probably getting an E10 with the Heat. The next Tre White/J'Vonne Hadley in the system

I'm still such a huge Nick Khamenia fan. Excited to see what he can do with higher USG this season. He's just an ok shooter, but his handle, pace, feel, and passing are great for 6'8". I also think he's one of the most underrated defenders in the country. Is he ready this year?

Probably not, to be honest. But I can see him bulking up and becoming a POY candidate and first round pick as a senior

Main thing standing out to me here is that Jaden Aikens has taken one hell of a leap. Using great pace to get by Shead and CMB, making great reads, and placing the ball perfectly right where Poeltl can’t get it
James Wiseman tonight 18 points 10 rebounds 7-8 FG Seems to be the favorite for a roster spot out of the training camp guys

It’s so fun to be a fan of the league / “enjoy basketball” because while I’m a huge Knicks fan, I’m a fan of SO many guys across every single team. My agenda is everyone trying and doing their best 🥹 Except Kyle Kuzma. Fuck Kyle Kuzma
Who’s on your agenda this season? This is how #SuaveFC is looking.
