NBA Summer League Wild Overreaction Thread

[fishonjazz]

Pretty much how I saw it but Ace would be on that list as good, VJ not so good

Did VJ play in anymore games than the one against the jazz when he was pretty awesome?

No. I think he hurt or broke a finger or something.

Here are some of my confirmation bias overreactions and thoughts:

Dylan Harper is really good
Tre Johnson is really good
Joan Beringer is really good
Collin Murray-Boyles sucks
Khaman Maluach sucks
Noa Essengue sucks
Jeremiah Fears sucks

I don't get the CMB stuff. He's only played in one game, and played great defense, which is what he was drafted for. He made every non-3pt shot he took and was the only starter to not have a negative +/-. The only bad thing was his turnovers, but again this was his first game of the SL.

He can’t shoot and he had 8 fouls and 5 turnovers. Also, read the title of this thread again.

We already knew he couldn't shoot and his shooting wasn't going to improve this quickly.

For the record, I wasn't complaining, just curious what you were seeing to make you low on him. What I saw was about what I expected.

Sure, and that's great and all, but he was the 9th overall pick in a strong draft.

Yeah I feel the exact same way. Not something I want in a top-10 pick to be honest.

It was one game and he's arguably been as good or better than the guys drafted around him.

For the record I think that Toronto was an awful fit for him, so I'm not expecting much, but still hoping he surprises.

Did he really have good fits?

Any team with guys that can shoot, especially if they have a shooting 5. He was an extremely good passing big in college, so he can fit in an offense.

These guys are trying to make a sizzle reel for Cody. I guess I gotta respect that. The drive on McNeeley is nice.

Fun watch.
I remember when I was watching his highlight videos when we drafted him that I though he was left handed at first because the video I watched first started off showing his drives and so many were with his left.
He still has a good left hand as shown in this video.

Kon looks like some dude that got asked to suit up from off the street. He needs to update his hairstyle, looks so basic. Even Hornacek had more flair. lol

That strip and pass ahead was just disrespectful.

 

[RandyForRubio]

I don’t know if this really classifies as an overreaction or not because he was drafted a lot higher, but I’m very positive Cody Williams has a lot better NBA career than Collier.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Kon reminds me so much of Ingles. Has such a great feel for the game, can pass, shoot and moves his feet defensively.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Essengue had a good game today with 21 pts., but the Internet is ablaze with his unsuccessful challenge at the rim against Johnny Furphy. That's one angry Furphy.

Looks like a death eater from Harry Potter is sucking out his soul. Lol

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Honestly Ingles isn’t a bad comp for Kon. Which begs the question, when does the hornets gm get fired if both Ace and Tre become stars or all stars?

"I Guess I Gotta Respect That" is Cody Williams' ceiling TBH.
