Summer League Discussion

Come on Buddy you got to get on the floor for that ball! But it is summer league and we don't want you getting nicked up either

Come on Pack, Diallo needs to get all the minutes he can!!

I predict that we won't win a single game in summer league. The Lakers, Nuggets, and T-wolves look a hell of a lot better than we do lol.

Yeah because their putting their actual team on the floor lol

Summer league is summer league. We just need to only focus on Buddy and Cheick's progress. I like McKay though.

The problem with our team appears to be . . .they suck.

BUDDY BUCKETS!!

Exactly wnd we have a bunch of bums lol

Freaking Inglis!! Dude has a NBA body, but his game looks horrible tonight

Yeah no joke. You look at Ingles and he looks awesome from a size standpoint. He's had a few nice plays too but also his shot just isn't there.

Man I was hoping this team would be fun to watch with Buddy, Diallo, Minnerath, and Cat. Hopefully we will be a lot better with a game under our belt!

I really like what I see in Diallo. I think he's gonna be a good one in a few years. STEAL IMO!!

We've made a whopping 3 shots from 3pt this game.

Hey nice one Diallo.

What? Right on que with Diallo!! Lol. I like his shot too. Next Serge Ibaka baby!! Lol

1 summer league game and the sky is falling, some of u guys are great.

Again Diallo. Still hustling. Good effort.

Diallo straight beast mode.

No one believes the sky is falling. But this team as sucked tonight. Mainly because outside of Diallo and Buddy no one else might see an NBA court.

Sky falling it's summer league. But anyone can look at this team and say they not really good lol

Good to see Diallo with a solid start. Sign this boy up.

Damn Thon Maker is looking like a beast!! Like what I've seen in Diallo, though he didn't even try to block a few shots. He's so young, but he's gonna be a player for sure. Just may take sometime. Buddy will be alright, no worries there. Boatright looks good. Now the rest of those guys look terrible. Just shows that we haven't had any draft picks the last few years!!!

Inglis looks lackadaisical.

Damn. lol. The Lakers had an actual future NBA all-star leading them tonight. Scored the first 13 points of the 2nd quarter for them.

Calm down people. Remember last year the team looked awesome and what, 1 got called back to the squad? lol

Well if you consider that in 14 minutes he made one of the 8 total assist of the team, got one rebound less than Diallo with half playing time, shot 8 times, you can't say he didn't try or lacked activity

His performance isn't good for sure but I'm staying middly intrigued by him. I hope the staff will give him a full 30min for one game to be at least sure he can't be of any help for our team.

With only like 2 years under his belt, they should of added Langston Galloway to the summer league squad. Well maybe they couldn't add him to the team since he just signed right before the start, I don't know. But man we could really use him if we want to be competitive lolol

Nah, they're busts, every single one of them

Every team will play at least 5 games at Vegas.

It will be fair to evaluate players then.

But this team is not constructed well.
It might not be a bad idea to have bad players around him. Cause this is all about him and Cheick. He will have a possibility to show different abilities...

When's the next game?

Today vs Jazz

lol i remember when jimmer would tear up summer league.

Even after five summer league games, it's not really fair to judge players.

More fair than after one...

Ben looked really good last night. Not sure what you watched last night. He is not a scorer at this point but he showed great athleticism, vision and ball skills. He made some great passes and did a good job on the boards. Philly should be happy.

Ingram played against Grant. Ingram lacks strength and was manhandled by Grant. The game just confirmed his weakness. He needs muscle.

Ben simmons played really well, clearly you just looked at the box score and not the effect he had on the game lol.

Nope. I watched the game. Dude is EXTREMELY passive. Even the coach of Philly said they will work with him to gain more confidence... it's all mental with him how he plays.

Buddy is going to be dominant. He will be better than people think. Buddy Buckets baby. Watch tonight. We will see dominance.

My boy Luwawu came off the bench but he looked good though. Especially from deep.

I would of loved to have found a way to get him as our project player.

Guy has all the tools you want. I wasnt as high on him as maybe you and especially 504 was(who for a while pretty much argued he was the third best player in the draft) but I think he will do fine.

Why can't the game come faster!!!!

Also just as a reference from saturday:

Ingram: 3-12(FG), 0-3(3FG, 4REB, 7points.

Simmons: 3-8(FG), 10REB, 8AST, 7TO, 8points

Brown: 3-13(FG), 2-5(3FG), 1REB, 9points

Valentine: 4-16(FG), 0-9(3FG), 6REB, 1AST, 8points

Bender: 4-13(FG), 1-7(3FG), 7Reb, 12points

Murray: 2-11(FG), 0-3(3FG), 6REB, 4AST, 5TO, 6points

For reference, Hield Friday night on his first game:
Hield: 5-20(FG), 1-9(3FG), 6REB, 2AST, 4TO, 13points


Just thought it was worth posting for context sake. For all those that are really down on Hield for his first performance. Pretty much none of the guys before or after him have had very good games(Dunn/Simmons being the lone exceptions). Not to mention most of these guys I listed are not on their first game, so I will update after tonight.

I think you should compare their first game stats to buddy's first game stats, if you are going to compare players compare them fairly.

in summer league it is extremely hard to judge a players scoring and passing abilities, because of their teammates or lack there of. U can make great passes but if ur teammates cant shoot it wont show up on the assist sheet. U can be a great scorer, but if ur getting doubled every play because ur teammates can't score, double teams don't show up on the stat sheet. Rebounding and defense is what I usually take away from summer league games.

Bembry, Oubre, and Ashely playing now on nba tv and looking good. Kinda good
