Bump. Perhaps sticky the thread. Interesting they are starting after 4th of July this year.

[DroopyDawg]

Seems like they're pushing it back further and further. They started on the 6th last year... they've just bumped it back another week this year.

I?ve heard very little about our SL roster yet other than maybe 5-6 players. Anyone seen the full list anywhere?

Looks like Lakers and Grizz have full rosters. Wonder what’s taking so long.

Practising for the season

[P_B_&_G]

This is interesting.

[P_B_&_G]

I'm kind of excited to see Hawk. Also want to see Karlo and Missi. I don't expect much from Missi though.

[msusousaphone]

Yeah. I'm trying not to get too hyped up but can't lie....I'm getting hyped up.

[hornetsrebirth]

Yes my biggest hope is to see Matkovic run wild

[JJackisangry]

I love summer league.

[P_B_&_G]

Hopefully Missi can at least block shots, rebound and rim run.

[P_B_&_G]

Yes my biggest hope is to see Matkovic run wild

This all day. We might have our small ball center already. Apparently he's super athletic

If Matkovic ever plays a single moment in a Pelicans jersey I will be stunned.

[Pelicanidae]

Yeah. I'm trying not to get too hyped up but can't lie....I'm getting hyped up.

Remember the cardinal rules of Summer League:

1) Shooting percentages do not matter at all
2) Primary playmaking is hard to judge, secondary playmaking and connecting passing is what pops here
3) Shot profile is more important than shot volume
4) Team defense is hard to judge, man defense shines in this setting
5) If someone isn't good in Summer League by their third year in the NBA, they are not an NBA player.

[P_B_&_G]

If Matkovic ever plays a single moment in a Pelicans jersey I will be stunned.

Don't steal my hope!

[hornetsrebirth]

I missed the first half. Judging by the box score it looks like Matkovic's production was decent but he picked up 3 fouls in 13 minutes.

[hornetsrebirth]

If Matkovic ever plays a single moment in a Pelicans jersey I will be stunned.

Why? We are desperate for guys who can play center, and he can play center.

Can he play center?
