I don't have high expectations but i would love for this pick to pan out. Did y'all see his hands??? They're the size of friggin tennis rackets! As much people love to talk about Kawhi`s big ol` oven mitts, if Tavares can make it a season in the NBA he'll have some folks talking for sure.

While I think the plan is to stash this guy, there could be a lot of benefit in letting him play in Summer league to see where he is in terms of playing american players.

I don't see any reason why he won't play on the summer league team. Doubt he will be a Hawk for at least 2 years though.

I agree, but last I saw his status for summer league was still TBD.

They're probably trying to figure out if they've got a plane big enough to get him there!

SL is pretty rag tag. Might not fit his style of play?

Hahaha - they're trying to deal with his contract situation so it will allow him to play SL, Bebe had the se situation last season - the permission was granted the day before SL started.

Hopefully he gets to play.

I would like to see a record set for blocked shots in SL with him and Bebe. Lol

Still dancing and still hate the Payne pick who is no longer with the team.
