Blazers vs Spurs Summer League Game Thread #2

Holy flop

17

that's it?

What is the the percentage of players who go to the D league and become rotation or regular players? There has got to be a few by now.

 

[Natebishop3]

We usually have at least one decent guy to watch during SL but this is by far the most boring team we've had in a long time.

that's it?

It'sonly 10 min quarters.

Shitty PGs make this very unwatchable

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I like Montero's potential on defense. Moves quick and he's loooong.

I'd like someone to take him aside and say "look: you have a shot at the league if you become a stopper. Study tape of Bruce Bown and Tony Allen. It's your one chance."

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm a little surprised Anderson is back this year. Teams don't usually put a guy back in SL if they dominate the previous year.

 

[Natebishop3]

He serves up THE FACIAL!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

If Montero was 18 I would be excited. But he's too raw given that he's 23.

I think experience matters more than age. Honestly I'd give him 3 more years to become a real NBA quality player.

 

[illmatic99]

Bwahahaha serenity now

 

[BonesJones]

Vonlehs so much better once he gets going downhill

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I'd say that at the start of Summer League a rotation spot was Patty's to lose.

Well... he lost it.

 

[Natebishop3]

Layman reminds me of Gordon Hayward.

 

[TBpup]

The THROWDOWN from Vonleh, then a nice pick to get Layman a jumper.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Bwahahaha serenity now

Insanity later.

Are you saying Anderson dominated?

 

[BonesJones]

Vonlehs looking great

 

[TBpup]

Vonleh with the up-and-under...nice touch.

 

[illmatic99]

Layman reminds me of Gordon Hayward.

Nah bad comparison. They're white. Thats it. Gordon wasn't a good shooter at that age and he was a MUCH better creator off the bounce

 

[TBpup]

Damn....Connaugton WIDE OPEN and just can't hit.

 

[Natebishop3]

Are you saying Anderson dominated?

Last year? Wasn't he the mvp?

 

[ripcityboy]

Boy. Maryland fans told me that Layman was the last man on selfish team. Didn't believe them. Guess it sucks to play with Diamond Stone and co.

 

[illmatic99]

Layman = Claver/Casspi mix. Maybe a bit of Ariza

 

[TBpup]

Vonleh with the nice finger roll inside, then plays great defense on Anderson to force a bad shot. Looks like he is getting a rhythm.

 

[LuckyShot]

Can we get Russ Smith off the floor?

 

[BonesJones]

If Vonleh could shoot just a little better it'd open up his scoring prowess so much. If he was a 35%+ 3pt shooter guys would have to jump all the way out, and he would get by them easily without his wild crossovers (which get him into the most trouble). Once he gets going at the rim he's really hard to stop.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Ah that makes sense. For some reason I thought you were talking about the regular season, and then I was wondering if you were talking about the Spurs dominating the regular season. My bad.

But since it's the Spurs I'd bet they wanted a guy who is somewhat established with the team there.

Game speed is his issue. He has the skill, needs to confidence to catch up

 

[Scalma]

Layman might be the only guy with a chance to play this year. Hes solid on both ends. I like the Ariza comp
