Official Summer League Game #1 Thread Blazers vs Jazz.......

[A$AP Meyers]

Swanigan's ceiling is definitely a role player but I think he has a chance to be a really important role player on a winning team

He will be a fan favorite for a team someday, hopefully its us

 

[Driew]

...pretty sure Biggie is going to make Rip City forget all about Ed Davis, just sayin!

It's what I was trying to tell @BonesJones last night. Biggie can bring something different to the table. We're still going to miss Ed this season though.

Biggie can shoot with range...I think he's going to be a solid rotation player with Ed gone

 

[Pinwheel1]

Ok here is an over reaction after just one half......Wade Balwin is as good as Lonzo Ball. Maybe doesn't quite make the "highlight passes" but seriously the way he runs the team, his court vision, handles, the way he attacks the basket....I don't see much difference. Plus his outside shot looks better.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Layman should be dominating all this games... smh

I miss Pat.

 

[CupWizier]

Collins is 1-8

everyone overreact

sounds like you are doing just fine.

 

[Driew]

I think Ed's defense is what we'll miss most since Biggie is still a big question mark on that end.

 

[Gronk Brady]

First half observations:
Wade Baldwin is too good for summer league... he will make roster and be our backup PG. Trent looks like a rotation player, don’t know how he slipped to 2nd round... looks to have high basketball IQ to go with size and shooting and at such a young age. Simons has such a natural feel for the game... very impressed with how he moves. Collins is noticeably bigger... taking too many jumpers, not using his new size. Jake is garbage... why did Neil garauntee his contract... Papagiannis very disappointing in limited minutes. Swanigan looks great... hopefully he can do this against NBA size and speed

 

[Labinot41]

Swanigan is not even close to playable in the NBA Guys

 

[BonesJones]

Biggie can shoot with range...I think he's going to be a solid rotation player with Ed gone

I think his shooting is overrated. I see him as a 32% 3pt shooter.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Biggie could be our Ed Davis this season. Smaller but he works just as hard, and is incredibly smart

The thing is.... he is not smaller. Same standing reach and has a 3" longer wing span. Plus he is wider.

Did not know that haha

well you did claim he's not an NBA level talent several times.....so this doesn't surprise me...I think he's going to be an energy 4 with a nose for the ball and smart approach to the game. He shot well in G league last season too...looking forward to what he brings the Blazers myself

Man, a Laker fan was trying to get Dame’s autograph. Luckily the usher was holding him back.

C. Swanigan
F 9 2 8 3 5 3-5 60.0% 1-2 50.0% 2-3 66.7% 0 0 0 2 13 16:02 He's way ahead of that curve in this game

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Jake Layman is in his 3rd summer league and is the worst player on the floor, this is incredible

 

[Strenuus]

Jake Layman is in his 3rd summer league and is the worst player on the floor, this is incredible

So in laymans terms..... He sucks.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Give Swanigan Layman's jumping ability and you have a basketball player there.

Could the hybrid shoot though?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Zach has 4 blocks, even thought the stat sheets says 2

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Collins for 3, drilled it.

They haven't went in today, but that jumper looks good. His form is money

Conversation probably when like this:

Kid " yah, you should play for the lakers doh. I've been a long time Lakers fan boyeeeee!"

Usher: "Oh, when did you become a Lakers fan?"

Kid: "July 2nd!"

Usher: "yeah, no. Get lost"

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

So in laymans terms..... He sucks.

Did Olshey think somehow he would suddenly be able to make shots in a game; after two years of nothing?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

OK, that was a good pass, Biggie.

 

[riverman]

Jake Layman is in his 3rd summer league and is the worst player on the floor, this is incredible

Layman is +5 in the game....Goodwin is -9....

 

[BonesJones]

Lighting it up to start the half.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Layman is +5 in the game....Goodwin is -9....

Yeah because our starters are killing theirs. Has very little to do with Layman, lol

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

The thing is.... he is not smaller. Same standing reach and has a 3" longer wing span. Plus he is wider.

That's the thing; same size but he plays smaller, kind of grounded.

 

[riverman]

Did Olshey think somehow he would suddenly be able to make shots in a game; after two years of nothing?

yeah....Olshey isn't coaching...and Collins has been in a shooting slump....Layman with 4 pts 4 boards and a steal....playing with guys he just met too...first summer league game....let em break a sweat

 

[Pinwheel1]

That's the thing; same size but he plays smaller, kind of grounded.

Same size but plays.... less. No doubt though he is not a leaper, but his ass can create extra space.

 

[illmatic99]

Baldwin can play. How is his contract situation? Who are we gonna drop?
