I am interested in watching Alverado also, but his ex teammate, ACC player of the year, Moses Wright also intrigues me.

Beginning with Summer Leagues and effective for the 2021-22 season, game officials will enforce the playing rules in a manner that reduces the incentive for offensive players to use non-basketball moves to draw fouls.

I hope it’s more similar to the way the olympics call games.

Olympics use FIBA rules. One could only dream of the NBA adopting such practices.

Reconsider. No goal tending on the rim will hurt you know who (genuflecting reverently).

[Eman5805]

Goaltending is the one rule that should remain to NBA standards.

Early Summer League verdicts (obviously SL is just SL)

- Cade is really good and it's hilarious how quickly he's gone from a non-shooter (HS) to being one of the best shooting prospects in his class
- Jalen Green is really good and it's clear how much playing against G League competition instead of college guys has kickstarted his rookie process
- Evan Mobley is hilariously good defensively but needs to hit the weight room, as everyone in the draft world expected
- Giddey is huge, wouldn't be shocked at all if he was 6'10
- Sharife rocks, gets to the paint at will, and is a passing genius

Hey, NAW...Go Ahead!! Tamper a little!! Everybody else does it; why not a cousin?

If I was Cade I'd stay away from the tv, internet, and social media tomorrow.

What happened? I forgot summer league games were on last night too.

He did that thing he did at Oklahoma for a little while at the start of the year where his shot selection was weird and as a result his FG% was poor. Everything else was really good, his defense was great, the passing was good, hit some pullup threes, etc. Just some weird shots that will make people overreact because it's Summer League and that's what we do.

Looking forward to watching our SL game today

What'd you think of Sengun? I though he looked bad. If not for the free throw mongering, his stats would've looked equally as bad. Some knowledgeable people on twitter seemed to think he looked good however. Interested to hear your opinion

I didn't watch that entire game start to finish, but I thought he looked pretty much as I expected. Really encouraging offensive signs with regards to things like footwork, but the defense is a huge red flag and Mobley looked much better. I don't really want to be too negative or make huge judgements cause it's SL, where set plays are at a minimum and defense gets played for about 10% of each game, it's more about evaluating feel and tools rather than actually inspecting statlines, but Sengun seemed fine to me.

Gone are the days of watching Russ Smith in Summer League and hoping for a second round savior in the AD era. I'm really looking forward to watching Kira work the pick and roll/pop offensively. We should have some decent spacing this year with Trey Murphy and Didi. I'm hoping Kira continues to fine tune his floater game

He really looked so much smaller than I expected out there. Paired with well below average foot speed and athleticism, I'm not really sure how his game will translate. Feels like a skinnier Jared Sullinger.

He's the next generation's Enes Kanter. Player comps are always bad, of course, and there are huge differences in their games, but neither of them can defend anyone and both of them made a killing off high usage but overall relatively inefficient (relative to the best guys in the league, I mean) offense.

Just like Kanter has made a career out of killing bench bigs on offense while being totally useless as a starter, Sengun will probably be very similar.

Sengun had more defensive plays in game 1 than Kanter has had in his whole career.

I think you are way off with your assessment of how he defends, but we'll see
