was in Vegas. Channing out of shape and Nate looked good along with Lee. The rookies play real hard and Collins has a great feel for the game. Collins, Nate, Balkman , Lee and Frye were running the 1st team offense this morning. Will get more updates later

IMO, Collins is the perfect backcourt mate for Nate. I think that would be a pretty fun lineup to watch.

Yeah, Isiah doesn't consider Curry's understanding of the game to be great and wants him to be around coaches.

I'd guess they want a means to keep an eye on his weight and conditioning as well.

How close is Channing to 100%? Is he like 80%? More, less?

I imagine it probably has more to do with recovering from a bum knee... a couple coronas ain't nuthin to worry about...

So what? If your a young player and not performing up to your contract your butt should be in summer league and I think Curry should be in summer league with our other guys.

not sure what the NBA etiquette on this kind of thing is but 1st and second year players are usually a lock for Summer League if they weren't high 2nd year lottery picks. Artest plays in them to keep in shape and so could other players. Some players go to Houston, Seattle and Chicago where NBA types keep in shape in the offseason.

I can understand Channing being out of shape given the knee injury.

I thought Curry was suppose to go to Big Man's Camp?

Also, I think Collins was a solid pick and might be a good player to have on the court with the game on the line. Collins also can make plays out of nowhere whether passing or taking his man off the dribble.

As far as Balkman I have never seen him play.
