2016 Summer League

[Rastapopoulos]

Apparently the Blazers have invited 28 year-old 6'5" D-League guard Patrick Christopher to be in their SL team. He's "mulling it over" as he's also been invited to the D-League select team.

 

[JDC]

Plays like a 35 year old Eric Gordon. Seems that he can shoot it, but there's no way he gets a serious look (from us anyways).

 

[Chris Craig]

He'd fit well at the end of our bench

 

[Trackjack]

Yea he can shoot but don't move very well it look like they invited him for a body.

You can add Scotty Hopson to our summer league roster 6'5" shooting guard.

How about putting the confirmed players in the OP?

 

[Mediocre Man]

I wonder if Calabro will call games, or if he'll be too busy with other stuff for the NBA?

 

[jlprk]

he'll be too busy?

It's only a 3/4 time job for the announcer, since he bores us to death with the interminable quarter-long interview every single fucking game.

The Summer League Producer dislikes basketball, so he assumes that the fans are bored, and that we tuned in to miss the action and hear some asinine general manager or coach dominate the show. It's been this way for years, and I complain every summer. NBA-TV does it, too.

I recently sat through 5 innings of a Cardinals game where they did the same thing, only this time they were interviewing troops stationed overseas and 5/6 of the time the game wasn't on camera nor were they talking about it. It was a regular season game, keep that in mind. The fans on the message board I was reading were none too pleased. I praise this sentiment though because I also hated the experience. I actually really hated the experience. I was livid.

It's really unbelievable the way they do that. If they insist on interviewing some guy I couldn't care less about for 12 minutes, go ahead I guess. But why in the name of all things holy do they think they have to show it on the screen, instead of the game? Mind blowingly infuriating.

Here's a handy Google Doc of all the known SL players so far.

Scotty Hopson is on there for us and Indiana.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Scotty Hopson is on there for us and Indiana.

Because he is playing for both.

 

[riverman]

Somebody has to wear the suit and the Hello Kitty backpack

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Because he is playing for both.

Ah, thanks. I forgot they do that.

 

[JDC]

Hoepfully they let Montero handle the ball a fair bit. Its the one skill that we're missing from our wings minus CJ.

 

[jlprk]

I wish I knew how to communicate to the media to get this bullshit stopped. Some years it seems to be NBA TV. Other years have had Barrett & Rice, so the broadcasts must be local. I can't make hide nor hair on who the decision-maker is, to try to get his attention.

Anticipating it just ruins the experience for me. I'll try to think of something positive.

Good spreadsheet, Rasta. It seems that in the last month this board has had several threads started about Summer League.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Amazing looking SL teams:
Toronto
Philly (especially if Embiid played)
Lakers
Suns

 

[Trackjack]

We will have above average team too. I think we will fair well this year in the summer league we will have 4 guys from regular roster and so confidence should be there but if not then Neil need look really hard but replacing them all together.

 

[riverman]

I think Montero, Connaughton, Layman, Vonleh and Alexander are going to impress folks in summer league.

Just don't start a rookie C.J. McCollum at PG or else we'll have the league's worst FG% again. Start a real PG.

 

[TBpup]

The only way CJ is in Vegas is to watch or announce games.

PG Russ Smith and C Jordan Bachynski to join the Blazers Summer League roster.

[Trackjack]

Smith was FA camp and now the summer league it looks like the Blazers real good look at him at the point. He could be biding for back up point next year.

Yes as they will likely renounce Roberts to create Cap Space.

This will absolutely happen, but I hope they re-sign him afterward.

I will keep big eye 7'2" center bachynski this kid can play. Great rim protector watching d-league highlights and was impress he might be the diamond in the ruff that we been looking for he actually have low post game and stretch out 18 feet.

 

[TBpup]

Here is a game in which he went 14-14 for 31 points and added 6 blocks! Is left-handed but started with a decent right-handed jump hook.

Yea pretty impressive at any level. Neil just might have guy that could help right out the start. But we will see this summer. But I like what I see so far.
