I feel like Peat is made for SL. Wouldn't be surprised to see him have some big games.

It'd be nice to see Maluach dominate with force, play like a man amongst boys but SL isn't always kind to bigs.

Sher needs to play big and look too good to be out there. I'd be concerned if he's just floating and waiting for kickouts. Same with Brea.

Hoping Hoiberg can keep things organized. Having a good PG in SL can go a long way.

Not trying to be a dick, but I wonder if these are now written with AI. Why is Maluach a recent draft pick while Fleming and Brea returning prospects, for example? If you wrote this ‘Bone then just go ahead and delete my post. :D

I hope Maluach and Fleming are too good and they shut them down after a game or 2

He probably won’t play, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Dunn get some run to show what he’s been working on.

I would love to see him on the bulls summer league squad after trading him and green for my main man

It'll definitely speed up the SL games. I don't think they're testing it for the NBA though although I could be wrong. It would mess up decades of data.

That’s how they do it in the G-league for all but the last 2 minutes, I believe.

They should take some radical measures to speed up the last 2-3 minutes of the game. For example, make every timeout only 20 seconds once the game clock hits 3:00 left in the 4th quarter. And/or, all FTs compressed into a single FT (like they're doing in the G League). And/or, on a foul in the last 2 min you can choose to just take it out of bounds rather than shooting FTs. Anything. Speed up the end of the game!

All of them? You have to admit though that it's a good way to ensure you don't make the big team.
