I don't know how people could have watched him and worried about how he would fit.

Same, all of the talk about not having a jumpshot seemed so dumb. LeBron didnt have a good jumpshot until he was 24 and he turned out ok

I like how people cried out in fear of his shot chart because of the jumpers but failed to notice that he was shooting like 54 or 56% at the rim (well above average) despite everyone in the world knowing thats where he is going to shoot from while also being double teamed shooting from there.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

I'm really interested to see what kind of NBA coach Brett Brown is now that there is actual (non-center) NBA talent on the team.

Ah, if I had really thought about it this would've been the year to go to Utah Summer League since I ended up having a four day weekend during when it actually happened. A weekend in Utah in July is much preferable to a weekend in Arizona in July.

My hunch is Dejounte Murray was drafted 29 because he's borderline NBA talent. How much of his high draft stock from Ford (is it ford?) was Rich Paul advertising? He looks like he's got a lot of weaknesses.

Only caught the last 6 minutes but he's looked decent and has a decent statline.

Edit: Murray perfectly shows why he almost went in the second round by losing the game with his terrible defense.

Apparently Beasley requested to play in Summer League. Super focused and presumably sometimes sober Michael Beasley could be a dangerous weapon

I've really enjoyed Vince Carter on commentary past couple years. He said he intends to play a couple more years but he has a career when he is done.

Welcome!

And yeah I have no idea what was up with the commentary there.

One thing I'm not crazy about w/ Simmons, you'll see him soar for a rebound and he looks like a man among boys, then a minute later there'll be a very similar rebounding opportunity (or chance to contest a shot) and he stays floorbound like, yeah no big deal, I'll get my double-double anyway. Haven't watched his second summer league game but this showed up in the first and in college.

He was hurting for most of the first game.

He rebounded well the second game but he's obv on cruise control at about 60% because you know summer league.

He runs a little bit weird and he had a nice offensive rebound, that's really all i've seen him do since i've been watching.
