It is so confusing these days but I was surprised to see him playing as boredom gave me desire to look at rosters. I notice Trent forrest from our FSU loss is on roster along with Mann and Kalenbege on Clippers so sad to say the FSU talent was better than was presented in 2018. Naj was highly skilled all around player and I wish him well (although I know about all the intrigue of the last 2 years with the

Naji played three minutes on Friday and had an assist and a rebound. No points as of yet. But hey, he's on an NBA roster making an NBA salary.

Agreed with a lot on here. He has the body, measurables, and the athleticism to stick, especially if he commits on the defensive side every time he gets run.

I think he's on a 2 way deal, which limits the number of NBA games he can play this year. I know some G League teams aren't playing this year, which means the 2 way players can be with the NBA club all year and at least practice with the team when they aren't active.

Slightly off topic, but with the Pacers decimated by a lot of injuries and what not Edmond Sumner had been starting/playing good minutes for them recently, his stats obviously aren't eye-popping but nice to see some X guys getting a good shake in the NBA.

Watched Ed last night against the clippers. Partially to see Ed play and partially to see the Clippers cover the spread. I almost posted in the degenerate gambler thread, but the browns.
