I see people posting odds.

Scoot 20+ +120
Wembenyama 20+ +130

Not sure how I feel about either.

Surprising to see it slightly more likely odds wise for Scoot to score 20+?

Scoot is looking like the dude in front of Westbrook at subway taking the last of the lean protein.

I love that you bring up Westbrook. That is who Jay Billis and a couple others are comparing his game to. I've brought it up a couple times here with no response. Imagine that we could be getting a Hall of Fame in this kid who could break records that at one point seemed untouchable. I'm excited.

Whitmore is playing? What was all that crap about him being injured when he dropped in the draft?

I expect Whitmore to come out aggressive. The man has to have a chip on his shoulders...
 
I always wonder around summer league time what HCP is doing these days. I never see him ....

Not having a chip on his shoulder is one reason why he slipped. Lackadaisical workouts supposedly.

I just hope he is smarter than Westbrook seems to be at time, or maybe, better at controlling his emotions.

Usually down there working bro....not this year. Little bit of free time. I am working big soccer in Vegas middle of nest week....looks like I'm going to be able to run over and catch the Hornets game in the 11th.
 
Intriguing Story Lines for Summer League:

Scoot: Richmond thinks he can break the summer league record average of 9.2 ast/game. Will he go for a lot of assists or call his own number? How many assists and points will he get is interesting, but the eye test will be even more important.

Sharpe: Richmond thinks he can break the summer league record for points average, which is 26.2 (I think). Will he be tentative, or will he try to impose his will?

Rupert: He's been charged with guarding the other team's best player in a professional league. Today I'd like to see him guarding Amen Thompson. If so, it will be really interesting.

Murray: His bro just dropped 40 in an SL game. He doesn't need to do that, but he needs to show he can hit the 3, and can do other stuff. I, and many other Blazer fans, will be curious.

Badji to the Bone: Can he get up and down the court? He can block shots, but can he alter shots. What's his role in the offense? Will opponents just leave him on offense. Another player I and many Blazer fans are curious about.

Walker: I am super high on him, but it's more faith than reason. He just said (again) that he and Sharpe were the steals of last season. Well, it's time for him to show. The Blazers need rebounding. For the sake of all that is holy, please rebound the h-e-c-k out of the ball! Will he?

Team: Hornet offense looked like iso ball, will we be running regular nba season plays? We have the talent to win the championship and Richmond believes (really, hopes) that we will, will we? We should dominate in the open court, will we get there? Will they shut down Sharpe after 2 games, or let him play it out?

Too many regular-season players on the team to set a record. He won't get that many shots to do so.
