Sitting here in the Cox Pavillion for Pels v Raptors and it is tiny. High school sized. Most seating blocks are 15x20 and there are eight blocks. I'll upload a picture later.

Actually, that's more seats than it looks like (2,400). Still tiny, though.

BTW, if you guys see a guy in a Rivers Mardi Gras jersey at center court, that's me.

Watched only Chieck Diallo while he was on the floor, which was almost the entire half.

Poor 1v1 defender (especially in space), rebounder, and is a black hole on offense.

Very quick and willing to play help and switch defense, sometimes too much so. Doing work in the post and around the rim. Able to jumble both defenders on a PnR when he is the roll man when he wants to.

Needs more strength and to use his butt more on rebounds.

He basically had zero idea how to play organized basketball when he got to Kansas and didn't play nearly enough to learn how.

He's gotten a lot better than this time last season. He is actually doing some positive things on the court while looking like he understands exactly what he is doing. The most vocal guy on the Pel's defense though it has fallen back as the game has gone on.

how did isaiah do?

That's not his brother, iirc, but neither him or Jameel made an impression.

I'm enjoying Kendall Marshal creating 10 feet of space effortlessly against Lonzo.

Purple front and green back with yellow lettering throughout.

Ingram just might be too good (TM) for summer league.

It's a rotating cast of ghouls and ghosts. On third set since Benson took over. This group seems to do a fine job, but only like a year to go by.

Ran into the Pels beat reporter, Scott Kushner, at the airport just now. He waved me down when he saw I was wearing a giveaway t-shirt from their playoff appears a few years back. Talked to him for a few minutes. Was pretty fun!

This is really cool.

It was my only run in with an nba person this trip, unfortunately. Unless one older gentleman I was talking to on Friday was of some import. He seemed to really know his stuff. Like, he knew guys on the two deep of the Pel and Raptor Summer League rosters.

Yeah for all the HYPE Lonzo got after last night he's still gone 5/26 from three in Summer League as a whole. And yeah he had eleven assists, but also six turnovers.

That's normal for high-usage, scoring guards: http://www.basketball-reference.com...by=ast_per_poss

"Pure" points have a much better ratio, but yeah.
