Summer League Notes And Discussion

I just saw Exum's highlights. He's doing a few Tony Parker things. This the first time I've seen him do a spin move on a drive, and another move where he used slight hesitation to draw a foul.
 
This was a really useful exercise for Exum. He was able to apply what he has been learning in game situation, fight through a little adversity, and actually play through some mistakes without worrying about being pulled. Really happy with his progress. If I'm the Jazz I try to get him extended on a nice team friendly deal as soon as possible. He still has a good amount of work to do, but the tools are there.

It will be fun to see Donovan have the ball in his hands a little bit more in Vegas. I think the thing with him will be to see if he can play within the flow of the offense, and not take a bunch of bad shots.

Bradley needs a ton of work. He's really unathletic. I'm a bit worried about him, but maybe they think he is just a long term project. I'm thinking he should be in the D-league basically all year.

Right now I don't think NWG is an NBA player. Maybe as he adjusts to the game a bit more he'll figure out how to make it work. It just looks like the athleticism is too much for him at this point.

I need to see more Bolomboy. I still like his skills, but I don't think this kind of game (bad execution) is a good showcase of how he can play. He's much better in a disciplined game with better players imo.

Excited for vegas.


NWG seems like a poor man's (and I mean broke) Brogdon.
 
Loved the mitchell tatum matchup. DM picked his lunch so tatum had to foul, mitchell turns and gets in his grill

Next possession, mitchell tatum 1on1, tatum falls to the ground trying to defend ...got a nice viewpoint of a sweet mitchell assist that went right where tatum was standing a half second earlier
 
Think of all the teams we are going to have to keep tabs on next season :)

Jazz
76ers
Bucks
Spurs

Surely Bogut gets at least the vet min somewhere. He would be a crazy good pick up for Jazz still imo.
Baynes - not sure he should have declined his option, but he will get picked up somewhere.

Baynes will sign somewhere for more than he was getting at Detroit, no idea where bogut ends up. Im lucky im a public servant i can watch most of the games at work. #yourtaxdollarswellspent

I can beat that.

I'm a public servant (teacher) who can use the public purse to watch the games at home 12 weeks a year while on holidays :)
 
Somebody asked about Exum's PER when the rookies were posted. I think it was probably before tonight's game, but somebody on realgm said it was 34.6 or abouts. Better than Mitchell and Tatum at 29 and 28.sumpin.
 
Already been said probably but I'm so happy for Exum. Looks like Baron Davis was able to make an impression on him. And Mitchell is just epic!!! Most importantly is that both were nothing but flat out clutch cold blooded killers down the stretch. Loved that stare down that Mitchell gave Tatum.

He didn't just fall; Mitchell stepped on his foot. But it was a good non-call. Their feet just got tangled.
