I don't understand why so many guys don't get into a game --DNP-coach's decision. Isn't it an evaluation opportunity to see all the players a team signed or invited to play. What's the point if they don't play?

From what I've heard and observed, some teams have certain guys that play on certain days. That way the guys that do actually play can get meaningful time to show what they've got, rather than just playing 5-7 spot minutes and never getting in a rhythm.

Sounds like the ankle is healed.

The NBA SL Tournament starts today. Dakota & Vincent play today (11th), and Isaac & Caleb play on Thurs.

To bad Vincent didn't get to play tonight (11th). Guess the coach wanted to rest him. He had a great game Mon.

Who's going home Sat, Dakota or Vince? Isaac's team needs to win. Caleb is safe till Sun.

Dakota looked good today outside of the bad final throw in from Sexton which was miscommunication (Dakota asked for the ball low and Sexton threw it high...new players playing together). Still think Dakota has the ability to play as an 8-10 player on a roster to come in and hit some threes like he did today.

8th to 10th players sounds over optimistic. I don't even see that for Swanigan.

Different positions and different organizations. Portland is arguably already in to their rebuild with some very young and talented known commodities with depth at the same positions Biggie plays.

Mathias is on a team that is likely to be pretty bad for a few years. That will allow him an opportunity to showcase what he can do as an off ball, spot up shooter...which there likely wasn’t any better in the draft than Mathias (see his Raptors score in pre-draft workout). Given how Mathias doesn’t need to break any one down on offense and simply needs to be a threat from the arc (proven) and not be a liability in defense (likely can get there), he’ll make a roster.

Honestly, a lot of the people making comments appear to have zero knowledge about how the NBA is played now. 20 years ago, Mathias likely doesn’t get a sniff and Haas is a lottery pick.

Being a Clevelander I follow Cavs forums also. Knowledgeable Cavs fans seem to generally think he's at least worth a G league spot or a 2-way contract (can bounce between G-League and NBA for certain number of days thru the season). They think it's at least worth seeing if his shooting translates to the league. He's not near being a top 10 guy on a roster right now, but could get close to that.
