Stevens talking about wanting Davison back, but sounds like he needs to fight for a two way slot. You either believe in him or you don't.

Fighting for a two way slot is a “we don’t believe in him.” The shot just never came for him. Too bad, because I think he’s a hard worker and a good nba athlete. That's the thing his shot seemed to greatly improve towards end of the year, showcase cup and playoffs over 40% from deep, also over 40% from deep in 8 games with Celtics. I can't find boxscore data, so I can't say if it was real change or just a hot streak. Yet on 248 attempts he shot 32.7%, last year on 138 attempts 29.7%. His first year there is no large stretch of games he shoots well during and huge increase in attempts. The rest, points, rebounds, steals and even some blocks are rather impressive for a PG his size. The bigger problem is likely he's still years away from being ready to help a team like the Celtics.

Eddie House’s kid Jaelen is on the summer league team. He was a very good player at New Mexico, probably doesn’t have the size for the league though

But he hasn’t exactly taken the massive leap and you only have one more year for a 2 way. They already have 2 spots so there is only one left. They aren’t just going to give it to him in case a guy like Peterson or Queta is available.

Everytime I see Quetta play he does everything good. I want to see a complete offseason. Lets see if he grows or he hits a wall.

I am totally down to see more Queta in the fall while KP rehabs his way back. I enjoy the Green Kornet too & I expect he'll also be getting some extra PT. Cool. The big earners might have to step up a bit to compensate, but GK & Q play their arses off so that's why it's called a TEAM.

17 year old Cooper Flagg looked incredible vs Team USA in a scrimmage. He did a turnaround jumper on our Jrue that was impressive and a 3 over Anthony Davis among other highlights. He will be a very fun talent to watch for the future. x.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1810423951832834167

They aren’t just going to give it to him in case a guy like Peterson or Queta is available. He's done rather well considering what he did in College. Plus Watson hasn't been signed! I can only assume they are debating giving him an actual roster spot versus a two way. They likely make that decision after seeing more. What more were you expecting from Davison? It's why I wouldn't drafted crazy raw freshman. That being said he's done very well, like go check Langford stats, he can’t even do well in G-League. He's basically a 3 point shot away from deserving a chance in the NBA on some team, it just might not be a team like the Celtics. I thought two way guys were limited to less than four years experience, which should mean Davison and players like him can play on two way deals for four years no? Are you excited, wasn't Tillie one of your guys a few years back? On summer league team.

Queta has totally transformed his game, I loved him coming out and remember Perkins declaring he'd be a day one starter for Kings after being drafted? He was a true low post scorer and has basically totally transformed his game which is impressive. Shows he works crazy hard, a bunch of similar type players have just disappeared because they couldn't do that.

Are you excited, wasn't Tillie one of your guys a few years back? On summer league team. For some reason, I thought you could only sign 3 two way contracts, but all i can find is less than 4 years for those are all from the old CBA. May not have changed that part tho. Davidson has been fine, I didn’t have expectations and I’m encouraged by his improvements. Point was it’s still an obvious unknown and the clock is ticking. It’s all mute now as they signed him to a new 2 way which is fine. I’m not a fan of real undersized players. Pritchard is undersized but he plays bigger.

It’s all mute now as they signed him to a new 2 way which is fine. I’m not a fan of real undersized players. Pritchard is undersized but he plays bigger. Davison is half an inch taller, his wingspan is 2.5" bigger and he's got a much better vertical. They weighted the same weight at draft time, put Davison was 19, Pritchard 22. So Davison has a good chance at being over 200 pounds, that should be the goal. I love Pritchard, always have since early days of watching him play. I don't know what you mean by plays bigger. He's very good at moving his feet. Davison is the one who can block some shots using his vertical and bigger wingspan. Most guys in the G-League are unknowns. Peterson has to workout his body and defense. Davison just needs more experience and to work on his 3 point shot. Peterson with 5 years of College is going into his 7 year of college and G-League, Davison his 4th. I do think it's a perfect example why raw former high ranked prospects shouldn't be declaring for draft unless they go in first round. Go back to College, transfer to right team and develop in College. He's like the best true floor general the Celtics have, his passing has really developed in the G-League. So he certainly has a good chance of doing something in the NBA. All that being said if you could have gotten a Kessler Edwards I would have moved on. He's just more ready.

Tillie feels like a Watson hedge if Watson really can’t shoot. Tillie is so talented, the injury concerns came to fruition though.

White is a great "team" addition, but doubt he plays a lot with all the superstar egos. I wish our these guys got rest instead of representing our country, but hoopers gotta hoop.

He hasn't played in NBA or G-League in two years. He needs to prove he can stay healthy and hit the NBA 3 before he's even worth a two way contract. They might want him for the regular Maine team to see if that can happen.
