Swanigan wasn't in long yet, but did ok. The English broadcaster is interesting. You can tell he doesn't understand the game completely.
He may have trouble guarding a stretch four, but loads of skill in this kid.
If there is a team that will be better on the boards than us next year, I'd like to see them.

He looked pretty good. He ran the floor very well and outside of a few times where he drifted, he seemed to move well on defense including switches. He shoots freethrows very well and of course is a rebound machine. His pass right before he went to the bench at the end of the game was sweet.
I can't wait to see him with AJ manning the paint. I hope AJ continues to work on his hands and catching passes. He could get a lot of slams on Biggie assists.

Don't you think he has an apparent calmness in him like he's in control and has uncanny maturity when he plays? I watch Biggie and feel he is bounds above his age. Hell, maybe my vision is tainted. Maybe this doesn't make any sense but then again it was a paid holiday with the state here today. You know what that means.
Watching today, he will have issues guarding the perimeter. Other then that, his skills translate very well in Painter's system and he will be very good. He's not a good fit for Miller's system plus the guard play is dominant. Brunson is scary good.
He won't be guarding many players like he did a few times today throughout the season. He got stuck on guards a couple of times, and they got by him. He'll do fine. The USA team is all about AAU ball. Fast paced one on one ball. He definitely doesn't thrive in that game plan. I am impressed with his unselfishness. He needs to finish stronger around the rim, though.
Very much enjoyed his no-look pass in the paint. Maybe it was a lucky fluke but that was one of the better post passes I have seen. Kept wondering whether he lost his grip on the ball or if it was poked away, but replay(s) showed it was a pass.
