Kyler should make an appearance also
As I recall, Ayton is a gamer as well.

Flex is saying his sources are saying Bol is going to get cut.
I do think, it was given that Keon Johnson will be cut. He is very athletic, but that's it and this can be said about a lot of players outside of the NBA:
He just said according to his sources Bol was in trouble on the PHNX podcast whatever day I posted that. He didn’t specifically say Bol would be waived.Do you have a link to the above?
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Keon Johnson is going to be waived.

if it is Keon Johnson that gets cut, i suppose I should stop posting my interpretations of statements, because I must not be too good at it.
then again, flex’s source and Vogel may truly think Bol should be cut but Ishiba or Jones may be overruling them.
He has looked awful for us, but he was a legitimately solid rotation player for Orlando for the first 35 or so games of the season before he got covid. He averaged 12p/7r/1.6b in 26 minutes with 59% from the field and 39% from 3. He is absolutely capable of giving us some solid minutes, especially in short bursts. I think he is just a bit lost as to what his exact role is with this team at the moment.I was rooting for him to stick over Bol, merely so I didn't have to waste another moment debating Bol's total lack of quality as an NBA player.
But Keon is awful too. Bol's fan favorite status probably helped. Bol is terrible, but in a strangely entertaining way, he will make for a great human victory cigar, while Keon Johnson is just a run of the mill awful guard with some hops.

Guess the question will be how flexible is Vogel to change the way he’s using him. Not knowing enough about Vogel, I’m not sure but if he’s playing strictly at C in preseason, that tells me where Vogel sees him, at least a little. And if that’s the case, he’s going to be pretty worthless in that slot.That's a really good point. He's been useless the entire preseason, but Vogel has been using him as a 3rd center. And EVERYONE that is asked about him says he's not a center. So that may have something to do with it.
What is he then - because I don't think he is capable of guarding anyone based on what I have seen. He's too skinny and weak to guard bigs, and too slow to guard wings or guards.That's a really good point. He's been useless the entire preseason, but Vogel has been using him as a 3rd center.

I know he hasn't looked good in his limited minutes in preseason, but I think you are being too harsh on what he can do defensively. I find it odd that guy who is "unplayable" on that end of the floor had the 4th best defensive rating on his team last year at 111 and also held his opponent to shooting about 1% below their season average.What is he then - because I don't think he is capable of guarding anyone based on what I have seen.

That's the problem - if he is a non entity as a defensive player than he is unplayable - especially in the playoffs.
Not to mention offensively he doesn't really seem to be anything special either. I mean I see enough offensively that perhaps he could become a plus there, but as an atrocity on Defense I don't think that will matter.

Can we finally quit sharing what Flex says as if he knows anything? He's in the same boat as any poster here as far as following the team close enough to make semi-educated guesses. He's not an insider and has been wrong far more than right over the last 2 1/2 years. Essentially everything since the Paul trade has been him desperately clinging to his 15 minutes of fame.
I am pretty sure flex has a source in the training facility. Now does that mean his source should be taken as gospel, no. But I would rather listen to imperfect inside info over none at all.Can we finally quit sharing what Flex says as if he knows anything?
