Jordan Walsh looks pretty good. May have a breakout year with the opportunity on the Celtics.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Hugo looking promising. Baylor Schierman doesnt have it imo.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

For a guy who is known for not being able to shoot, Hugo likes to shoot it.

But he has amazing POA defense for a guy his size.

Kenny Lofton must have been eating mad orange chicken in China. Any weight he lost in Utah is back on then some.

Haha.

(But orange chicken is really more of an American dish than a Chinese one.)

Haha.

Chinese restaurants have a number of clever ways to sell Americans fried chicken.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Haha.

It's a thing of the heavens

Lofton does look bigger, but looks a bit more muscular. Still a fridge.

The Kas hate appears to be premature.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Kobe Bufkin is showing a pulse. That only took 2+ years.

 

[framer]

The Kas hate appears to be premature.

He was defended by Nicola Duriisic with Nelly Joseph at the rim. We already know Kas can get by mediocre level talent. It's the high level athletes we are worried about.

Tre Johnson wearing his headband upside down, what a bust!

 

[MT Steve]

I've watched less than 8 minutes of this Wizards/Suns game, so I can say with authority that Tre Johnson will be really good and Maluach is a bust.

Is Ace really hurt? Asking for a friend. Or, are the Jazz holding him out, starting the tank/no-tank early? It's my understanding that you're not going to get a better draft position by being the worst team in Summer League. Was going to go to watch the team in Vegas, feel like we're all being played.

You want your top pick tearing a muscle in SL and losing a whole off season? Teams will be cautious, especially after a guy tore his achilles in SL last year

Why aren't the Wizards playing Tre?

 

[MT Steve]

Why aren't the Wizards playing Tre?

? They are.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

My summer league overreaction is that WCJ is going to be a star.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Tre Johnson and Kobe Brea are making shots.
Bub Carrington and Alex Sarr are not making shots.
Maluach is 3/10, but a lot of it is launching aimless 3s.

Something I’ve been wondering. Ace looks bigger than 6-8. I know that’s what he measured 6-8 at the combine but is it possible he grew since then? I just don’t see how he’s only 6-8

Did you actually mean to say that? Just checking... again... totally asking for a friend.

Look, if you're going to bench the star for Summer League, maybe give the rest of us a heads-up? I’m trying to budget my “delusional sports fan” fund wisely, and a mystery trip to Vegas hoping he might play isn’t exactly a sound investment.

Summer League is about building chemistry and hype—not bubble-wrapping your future in case someone stubs a toe. If you're too scared to let them play, maybe just send out a PowerPoint presentation and call it a day.
