black's defense, his passing and feel for game are great. but, if he never learns to shoot from the outside he wont be able to play major minutes

Yikes. Doubling down usually never works for you.
They are somewhat similar they just leverage their craft off different parts of their games.
JHS just has so many more options available to him because he doesn't have the half court weaknesses like Black does.
JHS/Keyonte might be the next DWill/CP3 going back to back picks
Oh man.. easy on the weed there brother.

I wonder if the covid/6 year seniors are a big reason why a lot of the Freshman prospects struggled in college, but are doing well in summer league. It's difficult to come in as a 18/19 year old and play against a bunch of guys 5-6 years older than you, but after a year of that they are more prepared to play against those type of guys in summer league.
Yes, I believe so.
Weird thing to do at halftime but I guess if it helps him then that’s fine.

Just got done watching Houston/OKC:
- Interestingly Cam and Cason were guarding each other for a lot of the game. I don't think either scored while being guarded by the other. They both had very poor shooting games. Cam was taking bad shots. Cason was missing everything just a little short.
- I love watching Cason play defense. He's just very technically sound, but also really instinctual. He can have an awful game offensively like tonight, but still be impactful to the game with his defense.
- Cam is an amazing athlete and has great size, but he needs to really work on learning the game of basketball and rounding out his skill set. I still think he has a ton of potential, but needs more work than I originally thought.
- Cason showed a lot more potential this game as a point guard. He was able to break the paint pretty easily and made 6 or 7 really nice passes, but his teammates were just garbage and couldn't do anything with the ball when he passed it to them. He still has a ways to go, especially with ball handling, if is every going to be a lead guard in the NBA, but he shows some flashes and I still think he can get there.
-The top 7 guys from OKC's summer league squad all rested today which left Cason playing with a bunch of guys who looked like they didn't know what they were doing. He was having to take a lot of shots after a play would break down, and that's just not his game right now.

Jordan Hawkins SL struggles a fluke or legit?
Charlotte at least has talent nlw. Maybe a new owner who isn't cheap will actually turn the franchise around.

I'm glad we got George over Hawkins. That could Haunt the Pelicans for a long, long time.

It's funny that NSJ is getting a lot of chatter....... but their number 2 pick isnt getting a word
Yeesh, that is a lotto pick move
Maybe, I'm not watching the Hawkins games so just wondering if it's a case of missed shots or him actually aying badly
Bilal going to be special
