Game Thread SUMMER LEAGUE GAME# 5 - ??? VS BLAZERS - JULY 15, 2018 - SUNDAY, 5:00 PM PDT, ESPN2

[DDolla]

Wade Baldwin just earned the back up PG for the Blazers

 

[tykendo]

Id rather have him than Stauskas tbh.

We haven't seen what Stauskas can do with the real team, so I will hold back comment. That being said, a dead eye shooter like Jenkins could help this team. You can't have enough.

Id rather have him than Stauskas tbh.

I’d rather have him than biggie.

 

[Darkwebs]

Jenkins belongs in the league on the Blazers.

FTFY

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

John Jenkins may have earned himself a spot on a team.
Maybe he could be the 3 & D guy we need?

How is there room?

 

[Chris Craig]

The Zach man cometh

 

[Scalma]

Maybe a rebuildin team with cap space would take on biggie or layman. I wouldn’t care what we got in return.

 

[Chris Craig]

How is there room?

Bye layman

 

[tykendo]

Zach looks like he should be playing the 4 spot for the Blazers.

I like that Baldwin kid. Nice work at the PG with an A/M of 1.66!

Agree on Zack. He has bigtime PF potential.

 

[tykendo]

Bye layman

I disagree. He's been lights out all SL, and is still a developing talent. I think Caleb is the one who needs to really step it up. Great rebounder, but looking like a liability on offense.

 

[Scalma]

Bye layman

He’s played well enough to interest a team with cap space imo. He’s got a cheap contract that a team has control over long term if he shows anything. He’d be a low risk pickup for someone like Chicago. I don’t think we should be developing rotation players. We need vets.

 

[Hoopguru]

How is there room?

Probably isn't.

 

[tykendo]

We all wish Neil could make a deal for Meyers. He's the one guy that just doesn't fit. Slow afoot on defense, and basically a 1 trick pony.

 

[KingSpeed]

How is there room?

A trade that sends CJ and others out for a SF/PF.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Bye layman

It seems like we need a forward who can shoot a little more than another guard who can shoot. So if someone needs to be cut to add Jenkins, it will be a guard IMO.

 

[riverman]

Bye layman

Layman led the team in per...+22.....closest to him was Jenkins +11....it's not all about offensive production...Layman is a keeper in my view

"Big Z!"

 

[tykendo]

After having a poor 1st half, it was great to see Simons drill two clutch game sealing shots. That bolds well for the young talented guard. I really dig his calm cool demeanor.

 

[Natebishop3]

Caleb's +/- though.....

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Really disappointed in Baldwin this game.

In the previous games, the team was +15 for every 20 minutes he played.
This game he was only +14 in 28 minutes.

[riverman]

Caleb's +/- though.....

my figures were from before the game was over....Layman actually did better at the end...Collins overcame Jenkins numbers ...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

It's going to be another Lakers-Blazers final. It's like the Warriors-Cavs of Summer League.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Yawn, another Baldwin double-double.

Oh yeah, he's now leading the league in assists/game. Another day at the office...

Damn not good. Heeheehee

 

[riverman]

Yawn, another Baldwin double-double.

10 dimes is awesome

 

[Scalma]

Baldwin is what they want Turner to be. Lol.

 

[tykendo]

10 dimes is awesome

He is developing into a serious player who will give team fits when he substitutes in. Man! he don't play with B.S.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

I'm going to go way, way, way out on a limb here....

If we win the finals, Baldwin will be MVP of the league.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

BENCH LAYMAN

Wow, Layman +28? And 4 steals? I forgive him.

 

[tykendo]

Neil takes a lot of heat in here, but he sure put an excellent group of guys together, and you can tell he is looking for talent that can make a difference. Some of the other GM's in the SL seem to not care as much, giving key newcomers way too much rest, and time off, when they need to work. Dame played, he didn't sit. That Trae Young cat needs to play.
