Summer League Day 2 [Jazz play at 7PM]

Teague look great. Definitely would give him a 2 way. I am glad to see Hughes play better and Doka is dominating inside. Some tough decisions are going to need to be made. If I was Brantley I think he should go to Europe for a few years and play some ball. Work on his 3pt shooting and then come back and give the NBA another try. He is not going to get any playing time on this roster so he just needs to play some basketball. I like the guy and want him to play some basketball so he can improve.
 
Jarrell should play as a defensive energy player and pick up scraps until he figures out how to score. He actually has a decent floater game, but sometimes he tries to get in too deep. That said, he can do some PJ Tucker things. He covers a lot of ground on defense.

Jazz haven't been putting Elijah Hughes in a position to be successful. They're just handing him the ball 30 feet out and asking him to do everything on his own.
 
Can't play any better than Dok did.
9-9 from the field, 19 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals.
+23 in 25 minutes.
Whiteside got his work cut out

Dok has a pretty limited game, but he's good at what he does. He has gravity as a roll-man and has good hands catching and rebounding the ball.
 
To me Brantley started looking good when they got him playing the short roll and creating out the mid-range area instead of 3pt line. Think he has to make too many dribbles at the 3pt line. He's best when he makes one good strong move then passes or goes up. I think he gets in trouble when he starts trying to do the 2nd/3rd move.
 
Never understand why they got back-to-back games at summer league. Mem sitting all of their good players really killed all the fun for this game.
 
Here is my $0.25 take. In the JV game Teague was a beast. Justin Patton was horrible. Other guys that had their moments were Kyle Fogg, Kyle Allman, Funderberk and Jarrell Martin. Funderberk hit a couple of threes. He is intriguing to me. In the varsity game it was the Dok and Forrest show again. Brantley and Eliza Hughes looked a lot better. Again like last night a lot of guys contributed. The question now is what do we do with all these guys? Is this a super tryout camp for the Stars? I can see Oni heading to China. Morgan tonight looked like he wasn't into it tonight.
