Vegas Summer League Thread

Barnes and Thompson end up with terrible games. I feel relieved even though I know it's only SL and none of this really matters.
 
You guys ruined it for me with your Motiejunas slobberfest on day 1. I then had to, of course, watch the next game and he goes off for 1 stinkin' point and looks like a totally clueless Euro.

It's a weird sports day when you're looking forward to watching a Charlotte Bobcats summer league game....but that I am....that I am.
 
Here are a few more thoughts on SL.
Ross will be a chucker. He will score is this league but it will not be efficiently.

During the Hayward draft I was tempted by Davis. I am so glad we passed on him and got Hayward instead.

Fournier looks very fluid. I don't think he will ever be a star but he will certainly help a team win games.

I hate Denver.
 
It's only day 3 of LV, and yet it seems that virtually every team's fans are "justified" in Write4u-style despair and loathing over their young guys. Waiters, Faried, Walker, Fredette, Montejunas, White, Robinson, etc., etc. have all put up at least one real stinker of a game. Maybe Beal or Lamb will be partial (if not as efficient as expected) exceptions, and we've yet to see many players play more than one game, but odds are looking good that nobody's going to really dominate.

Odds are also good that whatever happens translates very poorly into what players will do in the regular season, but it does make me feel a bit better about the "shortcomings" Kanter & Burks & Evans showed.
 
Lillard can definitely drive and dish. He isn't doing great now, but I think he looks good. Same with Leonard, very active.

I still think Rivers looks like Jamall Crawford/OJ Mayo.
