Sign him at half time, before the asking price goes up.

I was half kidding...

Larkin is a weapon on offense, but the verdict is still out on his defense. I'd like to see him tested by someone a little bit more dynamic than Gabe Mekel.

Larkin is more of a quick pest kind of defender. He'll get a lot of steals but obviously he's not a stopper. He can stay in front of guys but since he's not big he's not going to really intimidate shooters. I'm not so worried about his defense in that I think he'll hold his own. He's not gonna get beat like Felton.

Tyler has to be better or he is going to lose his roster spot. he has talent something is just missing

With a big with his talent level, I really would give him 2 more years and see what happens. They often just take time. Speaking of, look at Cole, there is a reason he went 11 in the draft.
Unless something obviously better comes along. I mean look at our roster, we are guard heavy is all.
Nice that we have the Frenchy overseas though.

Larkin looks exactly as advertised- a good backup change-of-pace PG who can be a pest of defense and a good shooter. I liked what I saw from him- he's not perfect and he still has a lot he can develop, but he's a nice player to have.

As for our guys--we did quite well--I dont see all star players but solid team producing performers who can help us win--great trade w Dallas and solid draft execution at 34 and 51 just wish we finished it off at 57.

You can't make conclusions like that off of one summer league game. We haven't seen Laberyie.

Mark my words--Cory Jefferson will be an NBA stud PF and absolute steal that we missed on. I thought he had lottery type talent last year. He will end up being better than more than 1/2 of th first round picks and he went 59.
