Exactly. It looks like DL got really good value out of this year's draft. He moved up for a guy who looks to have top 5 potential, and a guy that he would have taken at 24 if he'd just stayed put. All it cost him was a guy who didn't want be be here (and has more balance than heart), and a 2nd round pick just outside of the range of impact 2nd round players. Plus, he managed to bitch slap the Nuggets, Lakers and Spurs in the process. That's a good day.

Missed on NWG, but who really expects anything out of a late 2nd?

The only interesting thing I can say about NWG is that he's from Happy Valley, Oregon while Joe Ingles is from Happy Valley, Australia.

Having said that I wouldn't even give NWG a training camp invite - it'll give him more time to find a job overseas.

All the advanced scouting reports were correct about him - he doesn't have near the athletic ability to survive in the NBA.
 
Has there been any other teams that have as many players as the Jazz do down supporting their summer league players?

This Jazz group seems really tight already. Obviously some of them have been playing together and friends for awhile but Rubio has jumped right in to being apart of this team.

Yeah, pretty much every team. Everyone is in Vegas during SL.
 
Was reading tonight that the 76ers want my boy Bolden to go back and play a season for Red Star, does anyone reckon he's a chance of playing his way onto the roster?

But what happened to NWG from March Madness? He looked very good playing for Zags... maybe just one of those who are better suited for college game than NBA. Disappointing.

Most of the teams had a few guys down supporting their team. Rudy and Raul just showed up yesterday.

Some teams didn't have vets in the crowd, but they were the outliers.

He looks bad and has some bad body language... yelling at people like he is Chris Paul. Not a fan thus far.
 
I wanted Jarron Blossomgame. How's he looked? I haven't been able to watch any of the games besides the game in Salt Lake against Philly.

Not great but I saw him in the small gym. No one can score in that gym for some reason. It was like a wrestling match and everyone was shooting terribly there. Seems like there is no space compared to the other court. It was weird.

He's looked good. I think our lack of a good point guard and spacing is hurting him a bit. He might be able to do some stuff with the real Jazz players.

His jumper looks bad though... not sure he's the 15-20 foot jump shooter that was advertised from his workouts.

I was second row for both games in Vegas... it wasn't close. Got a bit of the glass before rim on one. Think he's only made one. He is taking them without hesitation so that's good.

Everything else has been pretty solid. I'm just not banking on the shooting.

He had one bad miss where he tried shooting it without taking his time to set balance. He has had many makes. He had a nice face-up jumper with a defender right in his grill. It's a good shot for him as advertised.

It's his first time shooting these in competitive games as well as his first time playing in games this fast paced, it's not going to be flawless from the jump. Saying it's looked bad couldn't be further from the truth.

I remember two going in and the rest of the stuff was around the basket... could be wrong, but the makes seemed like outliers. His touch around the rim was good and he does not look lost out there and some guys looked like they had no clue what was going on.

Lydon for example was looking at Hernangomez who was kind of signaling him where to go and just looked scared his first game.

Also, Chriss is awful and he does not seem to enjoy anything in basketball right now. I think his brain is completely broken. He was cool when he signed my son's basketball.

I also still love Jack Cooley... that guy just makes people want to quit playing. He'd be the guy at the gym that no one wants to play against. I wouldn't be opposed to having him as an energy big off the bench. His teammates friggin love him too.
