#18 is big for nothing doesnt box out and slow feet
yea obviously I'm not going to put too much stock into a summer league game but it's ok to hope for/ expect drastic improvement and have hot takes. The rate of improvement for the guys most want Kira to become is incredibly high
its also not confirmation bias. i really liked Kira predraft but a lot of what I liked about him hasnt translated yet

Glaring lack of rebounding for this team so far. Would have been great to see Hayes with this unit
Only 3 guys from this game will get proper minutes
Didi, Kira and Naji
nobody knows how to box out on this roster
Most impressed by: Herb Jones

Least impressed by: Naji Marshall
Favorite play of the game so far: Trey Murphy going and getting a defensive rebound outside of his zone
I don't agree with Mac here. Rebounding has been disappointing, but self creation off the bench is super important.
Naji is so comfortable out there
Ever shot an airball so bad that it went in?

Almost wish they hold Naji out after this game. He'll be in the regular rotation.
Missed 3, give up transition layup the other way. Rinse and repeat.
Mac is going to say something like "people are going to look at the box score and think that Naji had a good game. I judge by the eye test." He's looked much better than anyone could've expected while on ball

Patrick Williams is crazy good
I'm just saying it was predictable lol. We saw Naji for 32 games last year and 21 mpg during those games. We know that he does a lot of those little hustle things. His handle looks like it has taken a further step forward, however, and that's a definite improvement. It's not as much the scoring as it has been his ability to get to his spots consistently
Naji looked impressive to me but what do I know?
well 4 rebounds for Murphy is pretty encouraging considering that was one of his major knocks. you can tell he's putting in the effort there
This game shows the Pels need for rebounding on the second unit, whether that be with Josh Hart or a more traditional 4.
Yes I know it’s just 1 half of summer league, with that being said….Naji Marshall looks really good. #JustSayin
