What's new

Utah Jazz vs. Washington Wizards July 15th, 2015. 6PM Mountain Time *SUMMER LEAGUE PLAYOFFS*

I was at the game yesterday in Vegas... Summer League is an interesting thing. Looks way different than watching on TV to be sure.

Trey has a very fluid game and moves like a wing with the ball in his hand. What's interesting is on defense he stands too far away from his guy. You see that a lot when players are guarding people who are a lot faster than they are. Makes me wonder if that's not a habit he picked up in College where he had a lot of small guys to cover. Anyways, he's doing the same thing on the interior, which leaves him out of position to box out. Never notices it on Tv, but really obvious in person.

He's got huge potential though, I sure can see why he was the pick. Saw Booker last night too. He's OK, but wasn't blown away by him. I think the Jazz picks the guy with bigger upside. I'm actually pretty happy with the pick now, our coaches can mould Trey into a great contributor.

I agree with this. Trey is defending faster guys so he backs off.. but then because he needs strength he needs to body them up to avoid them gaining steam. His lateral speed is decent but not at the SF position and lateral quickness is more difficult to affect than strength. Damnit Trey, get in the weight room!
 
Cooley just cant finish after getting offensive rebounds. Online streams are pretty decent btw
 
Lyles 2 dribble jump shot is retarded. Creates no space for him, just serves to make a more difficult shot.

What you have against the mentally handicapped? Retarded is an offensive word. You hate mentally challenged people?

I like where this thread is headed

Nah, Trey is just a little behind developmentally vs. other power forwards due to Calipari playing him out of position. But he's not a moron. Retarded is the correct term.

Seriously, what are they teaching these kids at UK?

DL said in an interview that Lyles' shot has more arc when he takes a dribble or two and it's really flat when it's a catch and shoot. He said he thinks he had some coaches (PKM mentioned his high school coach did this) or his dad practiced dribble pull-ups with him a lot and he has some minor mechanics that need to be fixed.
