The Official 2017 Vegas Summer League Thread

[Rastapopoulos]

I think the player most likely to be a stat-stuffer in SL is Swanigan (whose game sounds a lot more Kevin Love than Zach Randolph). I expect Collins to struggle and I've given up expecting much from Pat and Layman.

Toldja.

 

[Nhawz]

Swanigan is going to be this years summer league Dejuan Blair

Told ya.

Lonzo Ball couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with an egg.

Couldn't throw a watermelon into the ocean.

Couldn't hit a bullseye from 1 inch away.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ball is going to be like rookie Jason Kidd without the D. He'll help the Lakers win like he did for UCLA. So maybe enjoy that bad first game and all the missed shots, but he's not going to be a bust. It's a shame his dad's such a tool and that he's on the Lakers because otherwise I'd love watching him play.

 

[MickZagger]

Whatever happened to Tony Wroten? That guy had so much potential. He could ball, but kinda played like a knucklehead.

Fultz out with a brutal looking turn of the ankle. Ouch.

 

[ripcityboy]

What is it with Golden State and opposing players' ankles?

The #1 pick curse...

 

[Blazers Roy]

Yo, Tatum looked nuts


Good odds on him becoming an all-star. I really like his game!

 

[Mediocre Man]

I just hope everyone remembers that it's extremely hard for big men to put up numbers in SL. This is definitely a guard dominated league.

Bam must be exceptional then. Karnowski too. Swanigan, Maarrkkeenneenn, etc.

The Philly curse...

The Philly curse...

Well, same curse, different name.

Danny Ainge is probably laughing his ass off right now.

Jordan Bell played decently yesterday

8 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks in 13 minutes

Did you watch the game? I watched it just to see Bell. I thought Damian Jones looked much better than Bell. I don't know what the GSW roster situation is like, but if it comes down to Jones or Bell, I think Jones has the edge.

Ok, looked it up. Jones is under contract for 2017-18 with team options for 2018--19 and 2019-20.

Jones is a 7 footer and a center?

 

[Boob-No-More]

Jones is a 7 footer and a center?

Yes, but his game is like Bell's only more refined/advanced. Aggressive rim protector, high motor guy.

BNM

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Yes.

He is gonna play some minutes next season then if they don't bring back McGee. Bell is a power forward though.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Bell is a power forward/small ball center (he can't stretch the floor like a modern power forward). I think Jones could guard PFs just as well, maybe better than Bell. Neither one can space the floor on offense.

Fultz out with a brutal looking turn of the ankle. Ouch.

Doesn't sound too bad. They are holding him out of the rest of summer league, but said they expect him to resume normal activity in 1 - 2 weeks.

BNM

 

[Boob-No-More]

What is it with Golden State and opposing players' ankles?

He actually came down on the back of a teammate's foot. This wasn't a Zaza closeout.

BNM

Yeah. It was definitely best case scenario for them. When I watched the play live and saw how long Fultz stayed down I thought it could have been something more serious.

It looked like their second year Frenchman, TLC, might have had a concussion on the same play.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Yeah. It was definitely best case scenario for them. When I watched the play live and saw how long Fultz stayed down I thought it could have been something more serious.

And they wheeled him out of the locker room in a wheel chair. With all the injuries those guys have had, they aren't taking any chances.

[Strenuus]

Probably to put up new ones with the new logos? Crazy thought, Computer.

 

[Trackjack]

They will keep Bell due to his contract. Golden St needs contract like his due to how far there over the LT.

New York, picking with the triangle in mind, will regret passing om DSJ.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

New York, picking with the triangle in mind, will regret passing om DSJ.

I remember thinking that OKC would regret passing on rookie sensation Tyreke Evans to go with that chubby shooting guard from ASU.

 

[julius]

Well, it's official. The team is moving to Seattle.

If I catch you using reasonable logic one more time you'll be banned!
