Jaylon Tyson is very strong and skilled but man, his decision making is painful.

Showed up at Cal whenever I watched him and seeing it again here in SL.

Got the ball a lot last year so assist numbers were nice but man, he's a really frustrating player to watch for me.
 
I don’t want to brag or anything, but I just turned $20 into $36 playing blackjack.

Oh yeah….

My son and I are heading over to the arena now to catch some games. With my extra cash, I should now be able to afford the large nacho with extra cheese!!

Shooting looks very real for Tristan Da Silva.

He's fluid but a pretty limited athlete. Doesn't rebound. Emoni has been able to get a half step on him a few times which is not a good sign.

He's smart, fluid and a good shooter with nice size though so he has a chance.

Jett looks like a specialist only still to me. Physically overwhelmed out there but an absolutely ridiculous shooter.

Ant Black's jumper mechanics have got even more of a sling to it to the right side of his head than I remember seeing last year which is a big departure from how he shot at Arkansas where he had a low set point from in front of his face. Going in though, nice one off the dribble and looks fluid at least. Still gets stuck a lot as a scorer and I wish he looked more natural as a playmaker. Too often sees things late. Or just doesn't have the ability just to deliver the ball on time from certain angles / positions on the floor.

Jay huff is such a fun dunker for his size

Jeez, how bad must Cleveland be that Orlando absolutely KILLED them with all these flaws...
 
We really want this guy Sarr? Is he a center, PF or SF?

Talk about terrible timing the dude just declared the Wizards paint a no fly zone. He also hasn't let a lot of guys get by him when defending the perimeter. The dude's defense is already ridiculous and his offense looks like it has a lot of upside. Really nice feel for offense on and off the ball so far in this game.
 
Reed Sheppard looks legit, even though he looks like a twelve-year-old with short arms. Very good handle, good hands on D (got 3 blocks!) and great shooting. Shame the guy in his spot earns $40M a year.

Sarr's offense hasn't kicked in yet, but he moves like a wing and blocks everything.

Pacers better find minutes for Jarace Walker this year. Either that or he's a valuable trade piece.
 
Knecht actually looked pretty good. He'll get blown by a bit but his team defense isn't bad and he'll get steals, and his shooting is as advertised.

(I'm still very happy we ended up with Clingan and Avdija, but credit where credit is due.)

Man.... when is the last time someone that young tore their achilles?

Damn that sucks for him. I was thinking it was an ACL and wondering if the Blazers should explore trading for him. But achilles is basically the worst injury you can have and I wouldn't want him on the roster.
 
Denver might be seeing their window closing?

Lost Bruce Brown and KCP with basically 0 additions. Murray and MPJ always have big injury risk. None of the picks or youth they added look promising in a major role. Have these teams all passed them?

Thunder
Wolves
Mavs
Grizzlies

Bronny Hames 6-26 and 0-12 from 3 so far in summer league? Hmmmm? 4 year guaranteed contract?

Many Faker Fans will be quick to point out that Kobe sucked early as well. He didn't have the luxury of a summer league to work out the kinks though. I said "kinks." Is that word offensive to anyone here?

Also, the best player in the league had to play near-perfect basketball by his lofty standards in order for their window to open in the first place. That's a tough formula to replicate.

Losing Bruce Brown felt like a huge blow at the time. Paying Porter what they did felt like an equally big blow. That championship was built on luck more than skillful planning.

It's a funny year because Reed Sheppard would normally be a favorite, but the Rockets have an iron-man $40M starter in his position. Edey would obviously put up numbers if he got the minutes (y'know, just like Boban) but with Ja Morant coming back, presumably the team will be trying to win. If Edey still gets minutes in that scenario, then he will be a deserving winner. But this is going to be one of those wide-open years.

Quick quiz (without looking it up): who was the last rookie-of-the-year on a Blazers roster? It's going to be like the year he won.
