Has reality set in yet?

[Carlito]

The reality being that a good chunk of our bench is getting destroyed by bad summer league teams who have been drafting in the high twenties for years? Well maybe not the suns but lakers and bulls should be getting killed not other way around. This is not a good sign for season. I even have doubts about cj. Jesus if any of these guys get meaningful time we are dead.

 

[magnifier661]

Christ mixum... You take a summer league game to determine our season's fate? Lmao

 

[Carlito]

Mixum?! Haha call me whatever u want pal but it concerns me to see half our bench get destroyed by 2nd rounders and invites to summer league.

 

[magnifier661]

How about we wait until the season starts before you go bitching about the team?

well, the team will still be bad..but at least the bench won't be good but can be better. Last years bench just sucked and wouldn't ever get better.

And don't act like you're not mixum. there's a reason your IP addresses are both in the same state.

Hunh, I thought that odor was Sly's underwear.

 

[MickZagger]

Who are you and what do you want from us?

Well it's similar to slys underwear. Both need to be changed

WHAT SUMMER LEAGUE ISNT GOING OUR WAY? BETTER PREPARE FOR US TO BE THE WORST TEAM EVER!

Overreactions about summer league are great, its NOTHING like NBA basketball.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Calm down dj Rudy. It's just summer league.

I'm not in meltdown mode, but there are a few things that are concerning, considering we expect quite a few of these players to get meaningful minutes during the regular season.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I staying pretty rational. But, ironically the guy I was worried about the most going into this summer league (TRob) might now be the least of my concerns.

Leonard, trob and cj. Jury is out on Leonard, but I think trob will be fine. Cj is a stud

I expect 3 to be primary backups. CJ has looked good. Robinson had a big game today, and has been what I've wanted to see, a hustle big. Will earn playing time by playing hard. And grabbing boards. Leanord....

 

[Natebishop3]

CJ and TRob are looking fine. Claver is a nice bench player. Leonard is a huge project. Crabbe is..... an unknown at this point.

CJ looks good. Robinson looks fine and will be able to rebound and run the floor. Myers...ugh. He looks so lost. He's got the size and athleticism, but the guy just has no basketball instinct or coordination.

But that is only an 8 player rotation. So we're still going to see minutes for a couple other of these guys.

Dorrell Wright, you are forgetting.

Lillard/Wes/Nic/LA/Robin
CJ/Wright/Robinson/Leonard with spot minutes, IMO, for Earl, Crabbe/Barton and Claver

Curious if Wright could play 2 guard? We could see batum and wright on the floor together.

That's right. Thanks for reminding me about Wright and Watson.

Ok, I feel a little better now.

Well thanks a fucking ton for giving me props Stanford boy!

Ok fine. You get a little ego stroke as well.

Just as long as you stroke my hotdog...

Just as long as you stroke my hotdog...

I'm flattered.

I'm flattered.

Too soon? Do I need to buy you dinner?

 

[julius]

this is why slypokerdog can't bring nice things here.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Reality has set in...
CJ might be the best player in summer league.
TRob can not only be an elite rebounder, but he blocks shots as well.
ML sucks, but we might not need to rely too much on him. Perhaps another season will help.

If we didn't have Batum, I would start Claver. Not because he is great, but because he looks like a player who would fit in well with other starters, much more so than with other bench players. He still needs to finish better and hit improve his 3 pt shot, but he does so many little things well. He is very "complimentary"

I disagree with whoever said he was more of a 4 than a 3. He moves well enough to play sf too.

I think it really started up because the "secret draft room footage" had Claver on the depth chart as a third string backup 4.
