Game Thread: NBA Summer League 2018

[Bolts]

Wendell Carter, Mitchell Robinson, JJJ, Ayton looked pretty good.

Knox as well, to a lesser degree.

Giles

Caught some of the Atl/NY game. John Collins was consistently hitting 3s. If that's part of his game now, look out. This dude is about to beast his way to some all star games

Furkan for 40!

I think this kid is gonna be asked for in the next set of San Antonio trade demands.

...and back to reality tonight. Hart, Mykhailiuk and Zaire are the players of the game.

Not possible.

Wiggy told me that Wendell Carter sucked.

Ironic considering his skill set. He can defend in space, block shots and shoot from the perimeter offensively. I am not projecting Carter as a star, but he is going to be a quality starter in the league. Probably for a long time.

Sexton on the other hand? Not impressed from what I saw last night. His athleticism really pops, but he needs to learn how to play. He can get his own shot anytime, but I warn to see him learn how to create for teammates. I didn't see that yesterday.

Collins is too good for summer league. Players who got 20+ minute scoring a game last year don't need to be playing.

But I agree. Should be a good season for him especially now that they have a playmaking 1.

Zhaire Smith was the only bright spot of the Sixers last night. Jonah Bolden has looked a little lost so far. The other rookies are out with injuries. But Smith looked impressive in his athleticism..


He could potentially get real minutes for the Sixers early in the season.

Zizic has been a beast in the post, Sexton and Cedi should be pretty good. Looks like pretty good potential from a very young core, but where is the ceiling? That might be the only problem but we will see

Can I bet all my SportsHoopla loot your Cavs win the summer league championship this year? It would look nice sitting next to the Browns 2017 preseason champions trophy.

Yeah, Sexton needs to develop into a better creator.

He is trying to be CJ McCollum sans the jump shot.

But, he has that it factor.....imo

Reminds me of Dearon Fox who reminds me of Young Kemba.

That ain't bad....

I will admit, I slept on Carter too.

He has excellent feet and was shutting guards down on every switch.

I didn't know he had that in him.

Mitchell Robinson looks like the next Larry Sanders, hopefully minus the drugs.

He and Porzingis are going to throw block parties on the regular when the unicorn gets healthy.

Did you see Mitchell Robinson?

Yesh.

He could be a stud defender in a few Seasons.

Floor of John Henson, Ceiling of Larry Sanders?

STILL angry we passed on him...

I think that's why he's there though; get a chance to work on his 3s in live game action. He's been great so far so they'll probably shut him down rest of the way since it appears to be a success.

Todd likes the attention. It won't be long before he bitches how awful this board is.

Sure. I'm not interested in any glee clubs, though.
