I said before summer league, that I wanted to see Boston prove he can be an efficient player, and I think he’s showing at least the right mindset to make those improvements in efficiency.

He has what looks like the offensive skill set of a star, but what separates the stars from other end of the bench guys is being able to do it at a consistent level. Getting to the line and getting to the cup are where you can get that consistent level of scoring, because even the biggest superstars in the game aren’t going to have their 3’s falling every night.

His game is starting to resemble a poor man’s Paul George, with those kind of awkward but effective forays into the lane. Not a bad guy for Boston to model his game after.

I almost wish we could loan out Boston to a team like OKC or San Antonio where he would get the game reps to keep working on his game. Really feels like I wish he was given the long leash of a high draft pick on a rebuilding team to work on his game and given the opportunity to put up a ton of shots. Boston right now feels like a guy that could put up 20pts a game on a bad team on like 40/33/80 shooting splits. Unfortunately for this Clippers team, that’s just not the kind of guy they need. Hopefully he has more nights like this where his shots are falling.

For Diabate more than half of the games & Preston most likely two of the 5. Glad I wasn’t in Vegas this year. On paper it looks like we were going to get looks at these guys, if not every night because of back2backs at least the majority of the matches. Not the case.

Sad for Reggie Perry though. He had been playing pretty well this week, imo. Was impressed with Brantley. Thought he was the second best player on the night. Scrubb looks desperate out there. Looks like he’s totally played his way out of the second two-way spot. Too bad that Preston’s out. He really could use more reps in competition. Hope he’s not too sick. They really miss Diabate, though Brantley’s glue guy contributions helped fill some of what Diabate brought in earlier games. Bring on training camp!
