Napier keeps getting the rebound in traffic, bringing it downcourt, and from halfcourt, making the long bounce pass for the easy layup. He's passing with all his strength to do that.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is this year's Reggie Jackson.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

KCP looks like he has potential to be a nice two-way player.

Where can I stream some SL games for free?

 

[jlprk]

Check your PM and don't put it on the board or Comcast will ruin it. They troll for this info.

Ennis is 7-8 from 3 for 29 points.

Kendall Gill creaming his pants after watching Olynyk:

[jlprk]

Good video. His arms are bigger than last SL. He is a thousand times the player Meyers Leonard is.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Nolan Smith doesn't even stand out in SPL.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Good video. His arms are bigger than last SL. He is a thousand times the player Meyers Leonard is.

Sadly, neither of them are more than borderline NBA players.

I was watching that game for a bit and thought his shot looked good...hmm

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Olynyk is a bigger Scola with 3pt range.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I didn't watch ANY NCAA basketball last year so he's new to me, but this Shabazz Napier kid impresses me. I know he had a ton of turnovers last game, but even in that game I thought he looked good - he's always passing ahead on the break. He's a real, actual PG, not a pint-sized shooting guard like 99% of the guards in summer league.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Olynyk is a bigger Scola with 3pt range.

When he's got a world championship medal, perhaps. All I see that they have in common is lank greasy hair.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I disagree.

I see the foot-work and the same herky jerky post game.

PER of 15 as a rookie. As much scrub foreigners that you are enamored with I don't think anybody really pays attention to you on here anyway.

His errant pass he gave to Olynyk at halfcourt for the lay-in was a thing of beauty.

kelly can play for sure, watched a bunch of boston games at the bar last year, and if he continues to get in better shape and get stronger he could be really really good in a year or two

I value Rasta's posts a lot. But Olynick will be a starter soon. Scola was pretty good back in the day, too.

 

[Haakzilla]

Dower Power is gonna make the cut!

...must draft Sam Dower!?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I value Rasta's posts a lot.

But that's because you're un-American.

PER covers a lot of sins, especially defensively. Olynyk could certainly put up numbers if he was given minutes. And on a team as bad as the Celtics, you'd've thought he'd get more minutes than, say, Jerryd Bayless, the ghost of Gerald Wallace and Chris Johnson. But I guess they were tanking and didn't want his awesomeness to drag them out of the lottery.

No Dallas Lauderdale this year.

 

[jlprk]

Halftime of a traditional Celtics vs. Pacers game. Bird & a gray-haired, fat Pritchard are sitting on one side. Isiah Thomas is doing color on the other. Popeye Jones has gained so much weight that his ears no longer stick out.

While Thomas pulled for his alma mater state Indiana, he said that being from West Chicago, he would have loved to join the Bulls with his enemy Michael Jordan. Asked whether Jordan would have played with him, Thomas said that after a couple of dribbles, Jordan would have gotten over it.

"Assists"

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Why is the Orlando league so much more boring than the Las Vegas one? Is it the camera angle? The lack of a crowd? These games put me to sleep.

Watching Danny Ainge watch the Celtics (with Marcus Smart and Olynyk) just get buried was kind of comical. He suddenly looked very old.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I've got to say, I've really envied OKC's drafts the past couple of years. Adams last year and McGary this year...

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Jordan Adams was there to be had in the late first.

He's not athletic but he's a smart defensive player and his shot is pure.

Such a nice prospect.

Can someone tell me why the ball is round?
