      Re: 2015 Summer League Thread

      Just got back from Day One and Two of the summer league. Some quick hitters from what I saw...just curious to how it compares to what it looks like on TV...

      Towns is LEGIT. Definitely lives up to the hype. He handled passing out of double teams like he's been in the league and getting that type of attention for years. So impressed with that. He didnt look rattled at all.

      Russell was hit or miss. He still has a lot to work on. His skill in using the pick n roll to set up his offense was prevalent. His passes werent always on point. Seemed like for every good pass he made, he made another one out of bounds or right to a defender. Then there were a couple that I thought he would make, but didn't make the pass at all. He doesn't really push the break either. Which I thought was one of his strong suits. He also has got to get way more creative when attacking the rim since he isnt the most athletic guy out there. Too many times he was blocked, or stripped, or put up a weak attempt trying to avoid contact. He also did too much ball watching on defense.

      Okafor did his thing. The way he controls the ball with those massive hands is a sight to behold. Lol. I was really impressed with how he controlled the boards. Better rebounder than Towns based on what I saw. But the numbers may show differently, so I could be wrong on that.

      Porzingis...somebody please get that man a sandwhich and a couple dumbells. He literally could never hold his position on anything. Post ups. Defending. Box outs. Screens. You name it, he looked so weak out there. His rebounding was awful. Guys smaller than him knocking him out of position or knocking the ball out of his hands when the rebound did come to him. Lol

      Others:

      Jordan Clarkson...the end of the season last year does not seem to be a fluke. He's quick, handles the ball well, and is a tough cover for anyone on him. When he gets to the rim, which he did routinely, he always seemed to find a way to finish in traffic or with contact. Loving it.

      Bobby Portis...admittedly, I did not know who he was. Thought he was just another dleaguer honestly. I was just watching for McDermott. But I know who he is now. Haha

      Jonathan Simmons...He looked GOOD. Dont know if he has a legit shot in the NBA. But he looked really good today. Playing the passing lanes. Drawing fouls and getting to the rim. So athletic.

      Pierre Jackson...another guy that Im not sure if its just a one time thing. But he lit it up. Played with real confidence. Didnt force or make bad decisions with the ball. He ran the team very well. And his jumper was money.

        D-Lo has been missing some easy jumpers so far. Man is his passing 2nd to none though, I think he needs to add some more offensive moves though. So far all I seen was P&R and pulling up off the pick. Once he adds the euro, floater, along with pacing think he can be a top PG.


        Larry Nance has impressed me but Robert Upshaw is amazing. The game vs PHI he stood his ground well vs Jahil caused a few TO's and everything. Upshaw needs 2 years and he can be a great defensive guy.

              I've thought from the beginning Portis may be a top-3 player from this draft. He plays extremely hard and with a ton of confidence.

                  I was on twitter during the game last night and I got a good laugh T the overreactions of summer league game. One guy said the Harrison twins are better then Russell and that he's a bust after 2 SL games lol.

                    Even thought we've been down for a few years now, people still troll the Lakers more than any other team. It's a national pastime.

                    Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                      Raptors win another summer league game.

                      The good:
                      Roberts impresses again. 10 points,8 rebounds.
                      Bebe improved in this game, 8 points,12 rebounds,3 blocks
                      Powell leads all scorers with 19pts(also had 7 rebounds)

                      The bad:
                      Bruno was 4/13(1/5 from 2pt range)
                      Wright just 2 assists


                      2 games in and Roberts doing good so far, might earn himself a spot on the D-League team.

                        Like that Mcadoo is having another pretty good game. Hope he can stay with the Warriors and get more playing time now that Lee is gone.

                        It's crazy but he seems to have better handles than Barnes...and he just flopped like hell lol

                          Hasheem Thabeet, playing for D-League, just got two technical fouls and was ejected. Now beating up chair in locker room area.

                            Final roster spot for phi will probably be Jakarr Sampson

                              Russell will need some time. I could see him and Clarkson be really good together.

                                russell could use a veteran pg behind him. i thought he was rushing way too much in the second summer league game, especially in transition.
