Official Summer League 2024 Thread

It has got to be Damian Lillard, before that I have no idea but im gonna look it up now.

 

No it don't got

 

I guess I misread the question and thought it was the last Blazer ROY winner.

I had to look it up.

 

Brogdon

 

That’s easy
Brogdon
Watch me be wrong now ha

 

Bummer for Daron Holmes. Blew out his Achilles. Tough start to a career

 

I can't because you're not.

 

Right, so who would be a Brogdon-like winner this year?

I guess I'll bet on Bubs Carrington given his impressive debut, the fact that he'll have all the minutes he wants on a shitty team, and because he was taken with the pick we gave up in the Avdija trade, and that would give us fans one more reason to complain.

 

It's a three year guarantee with a fourth year team option. It's the same contract we gave Bari except they have more control over his fourth year.

The young guy does not look like he's out of his depth, he looks athletic enough and skilled enough to be in the league. Anyone comparing him to Kobe has their head up their ass because Bronny will likely be a career backup who has a ceiling of being a fifth or sixth man on a decent team.

The fact is I don't think he handles the spotlight very well. The form on his shot looks great but he's short arming just about everything, even being timid with uncontested putback attempts. Maybe the dude just needs some time, which a second round contract gives young prospects with second round evaluations.

We sure as shit weren't this hard on Jabari Walker who is a second generation player drafted out of Colorado when our team has so many ties to that state and program. This is just some LeBron hate and as lame as most of that is, this is far far more lame. Just piling onto a young guy who will likely never find his way out of his fathers shadow, who has as likely of a chance that this will be his last guaranteed contract as he does to find a way to stick in this league as a role player. Atypical pressure for a guy with typical skills and talent for a late second round pick.

 

Bronny isn't Jabari Walker, he's an athletic Blevins. In 3 years, both father and son will be out of the league. Personally, I feel sorry for him. Sometime in the middle of this year, the Lakers fans will turn on him, and it won't be his fault, and they'll be brutal.

 

I will be delighted when Lebron is retired and Bronny is playing in China. So over them.

 

Today's games:

Matas Buzelis (11th pick) for Chicago, AJ Johnson (23rd) for Milwaukee.
I don't know the playing status.

 

I’m gonna use the sugar excuse.

 

Buzelis looks like crap. He's a project.

 

And to add to this, Jabari's father nor agent threatened to send the player to Australia if he was drafted by any team other than the Lakers. Most fans are fine with Bronny chasing his dream. Everyone should honestly. Some fans have a problem with gaming the system. There are some that think it is fine to leverage dad's influence, being a famous nepo baby. Hopefully the kid turns out fine. At least he is in a spot where they have have to give him the support he needs.

 

The people who left were the ones who like to look at car wrecks on the highway.

 

OKC starts game shooting 1-13 (7%). The future looks bright !!

 

Even Podziemski is playing while Scoot sits and watch
