We're playing with only 8 guys tonight, Terrence Jones has a stress fracture in his rib cage.

Yeah, it's pretty bad. But we're playing against an overmatched, glorified High School team....so it's not surprising they are trying to even it up a little.

After watching 1.5 games, here is how the depth chart is looking:

PG - Knight/Lamb/Polson
SG - Liggins/Lamb
SF - Miller/Hood or Poole
PF - Jones/Vargas
C - Kanter/Harrellson

It's going to be fun to watch this team gel throughout the year. Reminds me of the 2004-05 team for some reason.....just like the way these guys complement each other. I expect a few lumps early on but we definitely are a contender once again.

Here's the Terrence Jones play I mentioned earlier.

Brandon Knight looks JUST like D Wade here.. the resemblance is striking

As by evidence in my last post, the team photos were taken recently. Some of you man know that big man Enes Kanter has a very unhealthy obsession with the WWE's The Undertaker..



Here's the original pic of Kanter


Someone from Cat's Pause message board made this one of him knowing that Kanter is such a huge fan of Taker.. I sent it to him on Facebook in hopes he would use it as his profile picture..



After seeing that last picture, he sent me a message back..

Enes Kanter September 6 at 1:31am haha man this pic is amazing but make a new one and don t put on hair and l m gonna put on my profile

Of course I took that as a personal challenge to try to remove the hair just to see him use it.. Here's what I came up with in a short time:



He's now using that as his profile picture on Facebook.. I just thought that was pretty cool for a future top 3 draft pick using my picture.

Yeah, Knight kind of looks like Wade in that picture...I think he also looks a lot like Bambi with his new haircut!

Just got home from the Big Blue Madness campout. What an awesome experience. Enes Kanter was everywhere and was one of the coolest sports figures I have ever met. This guy talked to everyone, took every picture, and signed every autograph, all while loving the Undertaker. My friend let him sign an Undertaker DVD and Kanter got the biggest smile on his face that anyone could ever give. Knight and Jones looked mostly uninterested in the attention and was nothing close to how Wall, Cousins, and Bledsoe were last year.
