Speaking of Glen Rice Jr he is on the Rockets summer league team. Time to redeem yourself young man

It makes the Ron Artest comps seem clear headed. He scatters adult men like they're little baby boys. I didn't know if he could do that against NBA defenders. He's been making lots of in between shots that I was worried about, too.

He nearly got double digits for defensive rebounds again, so I wouldn't consider his D that poor.

He's shooting nearly 60% which is real nice.

I dunno, I would rate a d rebound higher than almost anything else you could do defensively. Except maybe a clean steal, and against players whose shot percentage is greater than 50%.

I would rate keeping opposing players out of the paint higher.

Excited to see Okafor tomorrow. I'm even more excited to see how Pierre Jackson does tomorrow coming off the achilles injury, although he's not playing in the Utah league, just the Vegas one. I was so excited for him last year, I hope the injury hasn't wrecked him.

I understood the Johnson -Artest comp yesterday, I understood the Winslow - Harden comp today. He really plays like little James Harden. Not saying he's as good, but he's looked solid.

it's the upper body strength and coordination that makes him similar to Harden in the paint. Great at engaging defender physically then finding the right time to finish

I mean yeah, but they have a gigantic advantage on most of the dudes there. If you are a second year guy still going to summer league and don't demolish everyone it's a really bad sign.
