Summer League: Utah vs Detroit Mon. July 9th 1:00 MT

I still think Ahern is the reason this group sucks though. Stockton and the other PG were harassing Knight defensively. Ahern is a traffic cone.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

come on Burks!!!

 

[asian_roger]

"ahearn the anti drummond" haha, not too many threes by the Jazz. Only stockton and ahearn?

I believe he is getting married.

Hmmm. Seems like bad timing.

I didn't think he was getting married until August. https://www1.macys.com/registry/wedding/guest/?registryId=51859

My guess is that he didn't want to come due to his status as a RFA, and by the time the Jazz signed him, they had a full summer league roster and camp was starting.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Ahh, Burks missed that layup after a nice move. Just having an off game.

Stockton was the best PG on the floor for the Jazz. That was one ugly second quarter.

 

[Revolution 9]

horrible first half for burks, and kanter. it can only go up from here!

 

[fufo]

it's so hard to hate demarre carroll... he was really good. he schooled austin daye.

m. stockton was good also. enes will be better second half

 

[berkkobe]

Enes Kanter owns drummond in rebounds but he must post up better than today. When he dribbles he looks like nate robinson dribbles in post. I don't understand why he dribbles like this.

 

[nightmare3983]

Wouldn't it be great if Stockton could actually work his way onto the team. Ahh one can dream.

That would be as sweet as Gains's shot against Miami.

You mean Cleveland? They still had LeBron at the time.

Austin Daye is awful. He is CJ Miles in Kevin Durant's body.

 

[jazzfan1971]

Burks looks a little more muscled to me. Any word on his playing weight this year compared to last?

 

[cowhide]

Ahearn is not an NBA PG. He isn't fast enough to get by guys. He is starting the offense too far out because he can't break guys down. Stockton was able to do that. I love the defensive effort from the guys but I want to see more of Murphy, Burks Kanter, Stockton and Carroll.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Best players thus far: Stockton and Carroll. Honorable mention: Ahearn.
Biggest disappointments: Kanter and Burks.

well said. i've never liked his style. he's horrible as always. how about "knight to daye"?

Is that a joke? I thnk Ahern has been the worst so far.

Awful defense and terrible PG'ing.

Kanter is at least rebounding and Burks is getting to the rim. They are at least trying to do things out there.

 

[Ben10]

Kanter would do better IMO if he would just kick it out as soon as the Double comes then repost. He could get the ball right back and the D would be moving instead of just focusing on him. Needs to pass out of that Double

 

[Revolution 9]

positives: Mejri - blocked some shots looked decent on defense. Murphy - active, hit some shots Stockton - very solid, ball looked like it belonged in his hands.
Carroll - couple nice baskets, playing good team basketball which is a huge plus in summer league.

 

[Brown Notes]

Premature, I know, but Stockton looks like a Watson that can pass, shoot and drive.
