They were too busy scanning the internets to see if Lunardi had moved us up to a 7-seed yet.

I think I saw that today is employee appreciation day at the Robins Center and employees got to take tiday off. As Biden says, "no joke man"

I liked Blake a lot because I thought he was a bit of a ”mold breaker” with his aggressiveness and desire to make plays even if it risked something. But am a bit surprised to see him get this shot. I get that they need 15 guys per tea, and all still Didn’t think he was even this close being an nba guy

Good luck to him- hopefully he makes the most of it.

You can measure the size of the dog, but you can't measure the size of the fight in the dog -- Good luck Blake go take a big bite!

He has a lot of fight!! I agree 💯%

He is definitely fearless and has a short memory which is required of scorers.

Does anyone know what percent of Summer league players are invited to play on a regular season NBA team?

Usually just the ones who were drafted by those teams, but one or two other guys may end up in the G-League and called up for a couple weeks.

I don't see Francis listed on the roster. Seems like real small odds of making it.
