Just saw a few clips when i was working, but Upshaw d'ing up Towns was sweet. Thanks OP and CaCHooKaManTV
Looks like we'll have a lot of excitement to go with our growing pains. Randle just bulled towns over, dude is a monster!!!!
D'Loe looks smooth, so does A.Brown. Clarkson looks like he's added a little fire to his game. Kid is the real deal!!! _________________ Magic*Kobe*LBJ*AD*Cap

We haven't had a GROUP of YOUNG players since the mid-nineties...Russell's court awareness was eye opening, Clarkson steadily improving, Randle beasting, Black and Upshaw protecting the rim, Brown, Brown, and Nance......watch out...we're pretty close to having to give Jim Buss and Mitch some props
Give Upshaw six months to get in shape in the d-league. He's way behind the others because of his personal issues, but that turnaround jumper over KAT for the and-1 was nba level, and his natural talent for blocks obv translates.
Russell's going to be a great pick. Stat stuffer, floor leader, making everyone better with his passing.
Julius will be impossible to stop if his jumper is ready...with his penetration skills, guys are going to play waaaay off him.
Nance has a knack on the offensive glass and is a great hustle guy. Work on his outside shot and he's golden.
I love Russell's unselfish play. His offensive play is going to come... he will develop some craftiness to create his points whenever he wants and polish his jumper but he will always be looking out for his teammates on the floor with great passing ability and court awareness to give them opportunities. I know its too soon but I kinda sense him being a Steve Nash with better defense.
Upshaw doesn't need to be in D-league, its 2 and half months from training camp, let him go to work on his own now. I bet he be in better shape before training camp if he is serious about making the team. Love the blocks and hards fouls, need him to lay CP# on his arse!!! _________________ New Beginings
A few thoughts:
Russell's game reminds me of Ginobli
Clarkson plays at a different speed than everyone else
Randle is a GROWN MAN
Upshaw could be our defensive anchor _________________ We only celebrate championships.
