L said LAST YEAR that Wooga has the tools to be an elite player IN THE NBA. He has more than a chance… but he needs to stay focused and dedicated and not let his success go to his head.

Of course… and I think Nwoko will get minutes at the 5 backing up Omier. But Nwoko still has a lot to prove at this level and I believe right now Casey is first off the bench to spell Omier.

Seems like a disagreement rooted in semantics. Casey is absolutely unquestionably going to be playing minutes at the 5 while Omier is taking a rest. He’s also almost certainly going to get minutes at the 4. A lot of it will be based on matchups. Out of curiosity, who do you think is the...

Quick thoughts from someone at the game: Pack was hot. Omier was dominant (probably to be expected against lesser comp… but the feedback was he looked really good). Wooga looks gooood. Casey appears to have developed nicely.

Sorry yeah no TV. Hearing Pack looks sharp, and Omier is doing what you would hope/expect.

Miami up 35-14 after 1 in their first exhibition game. The level of competition doesn’t really offer a good measuring stick… but we had a tough time blowing anybody out for the first part of last year.

I’m not saying you’re wrong but watching the video again Lively was super slow on the close out and I believe still had position to defend the drive unless Casey really sold the shot fake hard. I agree in a perfect world with the benefit of hindsight (and with Casey shooting the way he did)… a...

Lively didn’t commit hard enough to the close out… he still had position to defend the drive until the ball literally left Casey’s hands… I also don’t think creating off of a drive from the perimeter was Casey’s game last year.

L said last year he didn’t want Wooga dribbling. He wanted him to take one or two bounces and pass or shoot. Dribble, dribble, turnover was the gist of why. If L is now talking about Wooga at the point… I suspect his handle has improved - as you say.

I believe there is a 3 point shooting drill and players have to make a certain number to get a green light from three. At least that is what L used to do years ago. Casey had a 3 point shot in high school and was recruited as a stretch 4. Regarding that play… the perimeter defender (was it...

I rewatched the play… yeah I agree. Unless you’ve got a red light behind the arc you have to take that shot. The duke defender even hesitated on the close out… that’s definitely a shot you want even Casey to take. I don’t think Casey ends up with a better shot by putting the ball on the ground...

I think it’s both for Wooga’s NBA prospects AND to stress the defense with a point who can drive and dunk against almost anyone running the high ball screen offense. I mean IF his handle is up to it, Wooga at the point would be a matchup nightmare. But I think Watson, George, Casey or Nwoko...
