Scatter-gunning, in honor of the great Don Riley:
• Jorge Polanco is fortunate he is out of minor league options, or he would be in Rochester the way he has been hitting and fielding of late.
• I'd rather have Karl-Anthony Towns, Jimmy Butler and Andrew Wiggins in 2017-18 than Kevin Garnett, Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell in 2003-04.
• After endless bravado, P.J. Fleck is like the rest of 'em. Heard him devote an interview to lowering expectations for this fall.
