The 2025 Summer League Thread

[inconceivable]

The entire offense should run through him.

Agree. Billups should play Yang like how Jokic is used in Denver. Let's see if this Chinese Jokic thing is for real (because SL competition is the litmus test)

Interesting video on Love. The price of staying in college...

Yeah, I watched his 2025 tournament highlights the other night. He already has NBA range beyond the arc. I know he has his critics, but his role will be different in the NBA. I think he has the potential to be a solid scorer off the bench.

This feels new:

Fans can watch the action on KUNP and BlazerVision.

Not James Bouknight AGAIN?

Weird that apart from Yang, the two youngest are Cissoko and Rupert

Why, are you a cadaver sniffing dog? (Pun on "looking for bodies," you see.)

As long as he isn't sniffing for drugs he'll be fine.

Are we more excited (less unexcited?) about Cissoko or Rupert? I'm going with Cissoko, although I'm happy for Rayan to surprise me.

I believe Rupert could be special. He works so hard. Excited to see him getting some heavy minutes

This kid Love is the type of player that could put up big numbers in this type of run and gun environment. #QyntelWoodsStyle

Well it's early days but the Lithuanian kid isn't making me sorry we let him slide past us in the draft.

His game never reminded me of one that would thrive in rat ball

Surprised that Ware is playing.

does summer league really accomplish anything for players or teams?

It’s good for the fringe players fighting for a contract. Jabari Walker got a nice contract from us because of a strong summer league.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I’ll be anxious to see him play in this pace

Knecht really was never that great of a prospect

 

[LayneStaley]

Knecht really was never that great of a prospect

And he’s already 24

dunking off wrong foot not easy to do obviously helps. Ring 7’ but still takes coordination

 

[Pinwheel1]

#91 has potential. (Sidy)
He is already a pretty good defender and slasher. Just needs a reliable jumper.
My question is, how much does he really weigh? He was 224 at the combine, but the Blazers list him at 200. That seems to be a significant difference.

That looked like a nice pass by Yang

He has those soft hands
