Dion Glover thing gets old. Summer league does matter but it's how you do it, not what you do that matters more. There is a lot of love from Memphis for how JJJ did it last year and how Trae did it from LP. But not a lot of love for Spellman even those what he did was decent statlines. For SL, how you do it is king. What you did is meaningless. Knox stats in SL look decent, how he did it was pure trash and I see a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just proves that Centers can shine in summer league that was the initial discussion. What I am saying is that a guy that is unable to produce ar summer league most likely is not going to produce at NBA that season, Young was ineffective but produced at summer league on points and assists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not their play/numbers is/are actually meaningful is the point. What Pierce said yesterday was right... it's a crap shoot in SL especially for post players. Thus, you can't take much from it, either way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main point for me is we get some roundball to witness with a home team tie at a time of year there is no other option. Fun and games and I usually enjoy a lot of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer league MVP after 3 seasons on NBA can be reasonably expected. Summer league MVP on rookie season, watch out the guy!! Lack of production, foul prone at summer league... Don't think there is a guy showing that on summer league that has done a good first season at NBA As I said my disapointment comes from the fact that I was expecting a contributor this year, capable of playing 20 min, what was wrong was my expectations, I am fine with the guy at 2nd round, I just thought we got the steal of the draft....

His shot wasn't there but the same playmaking and skills was on display. The SL lacks spacing to the 10th degree so plays got limited space to operate in. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae didn't struggle to me in Vegas or Oct. November and Utah was a mess though. His playmaking was limited by his turnovers and his defensive effort that month and in Vegas was WOAT. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take the first game results of preseason to be more meaningful than all of the summer league games put together... simply because the guys you take to SL are mostly guys who will, at best, play in G-League, and who have been cobbled together and had a very few practices together... it's just not a prescription for giving you any substantive takeaways, particularly for the post players. I'll add... at least for those who played top tier D1 basketball, there's almost nothing in SL that should ever, in any way, detract from conclusions derived from their last season in college.

Yesterday's performance was really disapointing and is hard to envision him contributing if he is performing like this on the summer league. We should temper our expectations. I don't think expectations are too high right now or people wouldn't be asking for another center that can eat up some minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexmethylphenidate Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) in the real games, is there a lot of noise (players talking out loud) on the court like in the summer league? I haven't been close to the court in game before. I only heard the noise in summer league play and not in real games when watching on tv Edited July 10, 2019 by Dexmethylphenidate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once December comes, he should get chances After seeing Huerter in preseason, I was sure he was headed to the GLeague for the year. He took Baze's starting spot 2 months into the season. Bruno may yet spend time in the GL, but I won't be so quick in my assessment again. 45 minutes ago, gurpilo said: Don't think there is a guy showing that on summer league that has done a good first season at NBA Tim Duncan didn't look like an NBA player in SL.

JTB Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I knew Jaxson Hayes was athletic but not like this! I’m just shocked at how fast he moves and how high he’s able to jump. I will admit I didn’t want him in Atlanta but pairing him by Collins may have been a great idea. You can tell Hayes has some very high upside defensively and switching won’t be a problem for him. If he ever gets a jumper watch out! May be gobert with some better offense 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
