Summer League Notes And Discussion

So have Bradley, NWG, and Mitchell officially signed? I hope they actually play in the first game.

I hope so as well. I dont know why the 1st round guys wouldn't be signed in time to play, since their contracts are set prices. Do the second round guys(NWG) need to be signed to play? It seems like plenty of 2nd round picks play in summer league without a contract.

They don't have to, but it would be wise for them. If NWG goes out there and tears his ACL no on is signing him to anything.

I think as is the roster is pretty clear for him to get the backup PG minutes, which is what he should be getting. I guess if Neto clearly beats him out then he is in trouble.

Mitchell, not Neto, will be his main competition.

 

[addictionary]

Yes he missed a year leading up to the NBA(he sat out after high school), played his rookie year and then missed his 2nd year with the ACL. Then he played last year but was still recovering from surgery.

I definitely feel for his lost time. And it was not his fault. I just feel down that his development is taking a lot slower than I thought.

I wonder if a s&t with Hill is possible with the Nuggets for Gallinari? Sam Amick tweeted Denver is still interested in Hill.

That article makes it sound line exum still sucks for the most part. It did say he hit 20-24 threes but also missed 8 mid range shots in a row and is struggling with ball handling. Plus usually I think we hear more about the positives stuff than the negative.

Sounds like Donovan is killing it though.

Come to think of it, I can't recall ever seeing Exum take a mid-range jumper in an actual game.

edit: Well, assuming mid-range means 10-19 feet, he was 8-19 during the regular season from there.

Maybe I was wrong with my Bam doubt.

Him and Leaf both killing it in the first half. Mika looking solid.

The hater in me is holding onto the fact Kris Dunn was amazing in SL last year too.

I think Bam will be good. Certainly looks like a lottery value pick in summer league (which isn't all that hard to do tbh.)

I don't feel that way. I fully expected him to be on a Jermaine O'Neal-like timeline.

I'm sure this has been asked a ton already but how does someone outside Utah watch the game tonight?

I dont see Mitchell playing much PG this year but maybe I am off. I also dont see him being better than Neto or Exum off the bat. Next year? Maybe

Neto blows. I'll cry if Mitchell is not already better than Neto.

People have high expectations for rookies, for some odd reason. People are expecting Mitchell to start or be our primary backup for any position is a little extreme. Most rookies are a liability on the court early. Maybe he is the exception but I would not bet on it. Hopefully if Mitchell isnt a star his rookie year people wont have given up on him by next season when he is the same age as Exum, 21.

Exum is the primary backup (to Rubio). Neto is a 3rd stringer. A sucky one. I'm pretty sure Mitchell will be more of a net positive even as a rookie. But I guess we'll see.

 

[Hitman]

Sobey is a good shooter? He shot 41.2% this year including 21.4% from three. Good passer? He averaged 1.5 assists in almost 28 minutes a game. Cmon, man.

Those aren't his NBL stats.

15 ppg @ 44% FG (40% 3pt), 5 rpg, 4 apg, 1 spg, 27mpg.
