I said it from the get go that Tatum would be the best player out of the draft. His game is so smooth and effortless.

Agreed.....Ainge got the guy I think he wanted all along and picked up an additional 1st for his trouble.

Hopefully Collins shows up like these other high picks have. I don't want to hear about bigs taking longer to develop. Isaac and Bam both looked great.

You act like you've never watched SL before. While its nice if the guys you draft do good and show glimpses, the number of NBA scrubs who were SL MVP's is too long to list. I just want to see glimpses. Its a glorified pickup game with guys trying their best to impress and get a training camp invite.
 
Von Wafer looked like Michael Jordan in summer league.

I remember when Josh Selby was just disgustingly good during SL.
 
Fultz looks good. But, he better learn how to play the point. He just doesn't have the size to be a great 2 guard IMO.
 
They ought to call Tatum "Smooth" because that is what he looks like. Just amazing ability to run the floor and drive the to the bucket at 6'8''. Kids going to make an impact right away. Maybe I was wrong about Danny. Depends on how Fultz does his rookie year.

There's a ton to like about Tatum; man, he's fun to watch & I love his attitude/demeanor.

Now that Tatum's THE "Truth..." if I were Bos., I'd: forget about Hayweird, trade Isaiah Thomas (package w/ Jae for a really good pf/c), & then put J. Brown & Tatum interchangeably @ sg & sf.

Christ. Tatum is a Melo clone.

For his sake - just don't turn into a blackhole who can't guard a chair like Melo.
 
I have to admit... TJ Leaf looked really good, actually surprised at how well he was running the floor and how aggressive he is.

The other bigs are showing more than glimpses. Our 26th pick dhould show glimpses. Our 10th pick should play very well

Maybe, but the players barely know the plays. So, I think we're seeing who's good at Rat Ball more than who's a good NBA player. Nevertheless, I'm optimistic.

I think you can still get an idea of who's going to do well if you actually watch the games. Bayless won MVP, but if you watched the games, all he did was run into traffic and then hit his free-throws. You never thought "wow!" Same with Tyreke Evans. But on the other hand, I saw Steph Curry in his rookie year and you could tell immediately that he was special.

So, in that spirit, I am not that impressed with Bam. He's big and he's relentless, but he's clumsy and he's doing things he'd never get away with in the league.

That is before Stotts got a hold of him. 14/11/3 and not one shot outside of 5'. How times have changed....

Can't blame Stotts for Meyers. Meyers was always just a big athletic kid who didn't really have basketball instincts.

You can see foot work, energy, quickness, etc. I expect that from number 10

Holy shit! I know it's just summer league but... Tatum IS THE real deal! Fultz looks good, along w/ a few others but... there r just things about this guy that translate vs. real NBA competition. I'm gonna go as far as to say, w/ Tatum being this poised/good... Ainge shouldn't go after Gordon, he NEEDS to play Tatum! Tatum IS the answer & will learn quickly & IMO... is R.O.Y., book it!

Shhhhhhh....

We're tryna get Crowder.
 
Really salty that Ferguson is not playing in SL
 
Luis Montero with 16/5/5 in 19 minutes today on 5/7 shooting (5/5 from 3pt)
 
I know Kennard didn't play today but been having good summer league.
 
Tatum looked good. Fultz just hit a three but I'm not impressed. Looks like he is either lost or not putting in the effort.

I was seeing the same thing and don't play lick of defense. I really think it is effort.
