Cooper's going to be a victim of too-high expectations, if he isn't already.

He flashes, certainly. But the turnovers, the inability to absorb contact, the getting his ankles broken on defense... he was playing in his first summer league game, and it showed.

But it's just that, his first SL game. So no worries. I remember a #5 pick who didn't exactly kill it in his first time under our microscope.

with him being drafted so late his expectations won't be nearly as ridiculous as Trae's was. Everyone hated Trae and didn't even try to hide the bias. Every other rookie would have regular highlight videos showing all the good, while every Trae game followed up with a "full play" with all his misses and turnovers smh

JJ did get his numbers with no real highlight, seems like another day in the office. TO was a problem and shooting as well but he can play some minutes.

Cooper made some highlights but he also has some ugly plays and was not helping with Ball movement, always looking for the final pas, TO, decission making and shooting were a problem but he has some tools. Cannot play on the NBA now, G League.

Anybody see Scottie Barnes SL debut?

Best rookie in this class.  Book it.

Not even close

It's this guy . .   just made another 3

 

 

Nah, but Barnes did have a decent game today.  Raptors will regret not drafting Suggs though.

This draft was deep. So much talent now in the NBA.

Jalen Green is amazing

He's going to lead the league in scoring at some point. Reminds me of a taller Iverson.

Kind of see why Cooper fell to the mid 2nd, too much sizzle not enough steak.

Replay is on NBA TV already.  Wasn't there a game removed for contact tracing?

A good steak is only sizzled a little bit though, let some people tell it.  Unless you like your steak well done.

Yea I know. But I doubt Rife is much better than Brandon Goodwin.

Ya I think Pistons messed up and I think it’ll be Jalen Green as the best of the draft.

Nah I don’t believe you. I wanted Stuttmek Oberto instead. (No, not Fabricio’s son).

You like him better than Sexton in 2018?
