Gave y?all the hint yesterday. I?d only expect a few from Trey, Jose, and Naji

---

I figured Trey and Alvarado would play. Didn't think Naji would be there for a 3rd time tho.

Hopefully Jose will play, he just hurt his knee in the World Cup qualifier and limped off the court.

Aww man. Nah I hope he shuts it down until training camp then.

Jose came back in played well. He's fine.

I guess I totally missed the John Butler move, unless this is new news. I love him on the Squadron this year if they can keep him around. Chances are he gets a two way with someone, however.

---

We got John Butler?

Thats a great UDFA.

Apparently Izaiah Brockington, Iowa State, chose to go elsewhere or the Pelicans never signed him to an Exhibit 10 contract. .......Correction below.

You would think writers could get the summer league roster right. Brockington was simply left off by Christian Clark. He is on the roster

He (Brockington) is not on roster at this time. And of course nothing is said. It wouldn't be that interesting, but he was predicted as a player that might get picked in 2nd, and he got an Exhibit 10 contract supposedly.

Any idea why not? He acknowledged that he agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract-

Who is John Butler, Christian Wood 2.0?

Any way to watch our Summer League games?

All Summer League games are aired on ESPN networks or NBA TV. Check out the very first post in this thread to see channels/dates/times.

He's a 7'1 178lb... yes 178lb shooting guard.

Definitely should have stayed another year in college.

What do we think the starting 5 looks like Saturday?

My best guess:
PG- Jose Alvarado
SG- Dyson Daniels
SF- Naji Marshall
PF- Trey Murphy
C- Karlo Matkovic
6th- EJ Liddell
7th- Dereon Seabron
8th- Jared Harper
9th- John Butler

Matkovic looks legit from the eye test. We should be watching him closely this season overseas because, if the shot develops, there's something there

I think Naji's presence is unnecessary though. I would've loved to have seen EJ in the starting unit instead

Naji kind of reminds me of the guy still living in the fraternity house two years after he graduated. For Naji, getting shots up without restraint is the equivelant of endless weekends of beer kegs and sorority girls.

Here’s a question— how good would Daniels have to be to shut him down a la Donovan, Lillard, Ja, etc?

Side note - going to see Chet’s first game tonight. Hope that fine man don’t steal my girl!

As a kind of Dyson non-believer, I don't think it'll happen.

He would have to actually become Ben Simmons with allstar level three-level scoring. Guard 1-5 well, have a ton of asts and put a lot of points on the board with good effg while creating shots for himself mostly.

I've heard pretty incredible reviews of Dyson's play so far through their little Summer League mini camp

If Naji plays the SL like he did last year, I would hope they shut him down quickly. He thought he was Harden out there and did not involve his teammates much.

Yea, and what makes it worse, is that Naji probably (or at least should) considers Daniels a threat to his job security. Naji seems like a pretty good dude, so he probably wouldn't go out of his way to make him look bad, but you never know.

I’m thinking a very simple looking triple double. Like a 15/11/12 type game with lots of smart defensive rotations. Or just pretty close.

He doin his dance out there

High key hoping John Butler shows up and gets himself a 2-way. His skillset is incredibly unique.

Chet killed it.

Chet will be above avg defensively from day one. The offensive numbers, however, were a bit misleading and I expect him to struggle a bit on that end when an easy shot isn’t created for him. I really liked guard Jaylen Williams. Poku is a disaster.

I agree. I was hoping we would sign him at least to an exhibit 10 contract to get him on the Squadron. If EJ gets a full deal, hoping Butler can play well enough for that 2-way.

Sure is.
Vinson has waived his magic already and its only been 1 week.




..........que MM in 1,2,3 lol

It's not exactly stunning for a NBA player to make wide open shots in practice. But it is nice to see that his corner jumper is looking pretty good. If he plays a lot of off ball early in his career, that's probably where they'll want him. It looks like his biggest struggle comes from the top of the key, which makes sense since that's the longest shot. Presumably as he gets stronger that shot becomes easier for him to make.

This article is one of over 25 separate articles regarding Brockington signing an Exhibit 10 contract. Classic inaccurate information from sports media.

And most of you are saying he has no chance and why the big deal. I would suggest watching this guy against tough teams, including the final 64. That is why I am excited And no, I don't expect he will make roster but certainly is a candidate for the G-League. (For some reason all he got was a pro-day which immediately put him on the radar, which I don't understand)

He’s under an exhibit 10, so he doesn?t have to play summer league. I expect him for training camp. He could have suffered an injury or something and won’t be ready for summer league.

So the type of contract (Exhibit 10) gives him more flexibility than the guys that just signed to play in the summer league? He is not on the official team site roster for summer league.
