Hi! several basketball games took place, between the lakers, heat, warriors, and kings. The real league will start on the 7th

The california summer classic started on the 2nd, and will finish on the 5th. Games on the 5th start at 3 eastern on NBA tv. But that's not real summer league. All the teams playing in it will also be in real summer league, perhaps with slightly different rosters.



Summer league is where we see if rookies have a hope in hell of being decent, and where guys who you never heard of in college can establish themselves as role players, and guys you've heard of in college a few years ago flail around desperately trying to keep being basketball players.

The real summer league starts with on the 7th at 10pm eastern on espn

https://www.nba.com/summer-league/2022/vegas/schedule



Then we get a full slate on the 8th, starting at noon eastern, with games on espn , espn 2, and NBA tv

Games roll on for a couple weeks with the end of summer league playoffs on July 16th


If I can find an easily pasteable schedule I will add it to OP




A couple rules of thumb if you're new to the summer league experience. 1. If a rookie balls out in summer league, it means they have a chance, A Chance of not being a bust. 2. if a small guard scores 20 ppg while not spreading the ball around to his teammates, it means nothing at all. 3. When it comes to undrafted free agent types, scouts tend to be looking much more at them off ball on both offense and defense.

Enjoy the ball!
And remember, if the game is bad you can watch the tour de france

Keegan Murray was wet like a harbor seal against the warriors summer league team. The touch looks real, even if it is against these guys

- Chet is cool
- j dub looks nice
- j will is lost on offense
- dieng can’t shoot himself out of a paper bag
- giddey doesn’t look any better shooting
- poku is still 2 years away

That’s what 20 minutes of the EYE TEST tells me

Man there has been a whole lot of defense in the satellite summer leagues so far, wonder if things go back to normal in the real one.

Less beautiful shot.

I don’t know why refs at every level allow Kenny Lofton to charge at will.

big boys are hard to ref. lofton is already one of the heaviest dues in the league, and is short and bouncy

He attacked Chet the best way you can: use a lower center of gravity and greater strenght to push him far enough under the basket so that the rim prevents him from easily blocking your shot. This is something both Chet and likely Wemba will struggle with until they build up enough strength to better fight against it.

Like, look at where Chet's hands are and where Lofton releases the ball. This is picture perfect on how you take out a shot blocker.

Lofton was Team USA's best option against Wembanyana in whatever U-19 tournament they were in a while back so it's not surprising he's a good offensive matchup for Holmgren. It would be sick as gently caress if every NBA team gets a bowling ball post guy on the bench to counter the future long limbed skinny freak superstars

Wait hold on. He fouled out in Summer League. He got 10 files in one quarter? Holy poo poo

Yeah the United States was about to lose that game and then Kenny lofton put the team on his back and just made Wemby foul out and look just like a good prospect rather than an all-time prospect
