The key to summer league is to not overreact to summer league ...

 

It really means nothing but seeing our guys play ... it is not a determination of how they will perform in the NBA.  

 

This is glorified playground ball where the guys are sponsored by the Hawks.

Summer league matters. We seen it with Dennis. We seen it with Muscala. We also seen guys under-perform and have good seasons like Shelvin Mack. 

Thanks @lethalweapon3 on the request.

Since Robinson III is not listed on the roster, do they have to "uninvite" one of the roster players, or can you have more than 15 players?

It's likely they asked someone to step off the team. I remember we lost a player after one game. He left and joined another team. I think it was one of the Wear's.

Summer league didn't do that ... their growth and hard work did.  Whether they played in SL or not would not have impacted how their seasons went.

 

Its just a time to kill with some Bball between when the season ends and the season begins.

 

Its just a way to see the new draft picks play.  It doesn't matter at all.

Im banking on Greg Smith coming in angry and dominating. I think he's gonna get a double double tonight vs the butt nuggets.

I like to compare our players to their previous summer leagues.

So I'm excited to see Patterson, Moose and Edy.

Moose in his first summer league was such a weakling, he was being pushed around, always on the floor. 2nd summer league you could see difference.

He was much better last year, SL, pre-season, season. Same for Dennis. 

 

I want Lamar around in some way. I wish we had a D League team. I could see him being better than Baze in a couple years.

Did you just call Moose a weakling? lol

We need a DLeague badly.

I agree that people can very quickly overestimate SL impact, but I don't know that I'd go quite that far.

 

In what I've read about Holiday, for instance, he first made GSW sit up and take notice last summer.

Holiday was good.

It's not 100% accurate, but the best way I've seen SL summed up is: It doesn't show you who can play, it shows you who can't.

That is a good way to sum up SL

Not true, look at the top performers list from Day 1 and 2.

I don't get the point?  I expect them to play well ... its playground ball with thrown together teams ... the talented players will standout ... my point is that sl is just a way to view your drafted players get some burn.
