My God I despise these announcers. It's the same old Doris Burke show. Not one single iota of basketball analysis. Just constant diarrhea of the mouth talking about everything she can think of that's completely unrelated to the game going on in front of her. It drives me crazy. It's the same reason I completely stopped watching MLB decades ago. I could not stand Bob Costas and Tim McCarver talking and talking and talking and talking while I was trying to watch a fucking baseball game. GAHHH!
I love Doris. It’s summer league. Nobody knows half these dudes and there isn’t much to analyze from a team perspective. Not a lot of basketball strategy going on in Vegas summer league ball
 
Brown is a young jerami grant. I’m confident that he’ll be at least an average outside shooter.
 
Olshey might consider signing King to two way contract. He really understand what he doing out and pretty tuff defender.

Probably Brown III to a two way and Beasley, Faried, and Mudiay to the roster.

nah, brown will be on the active roster, he’s too cheap not to be and they need at least 14 players. I doubt any of those guys get a contract.
 
Holy shit Jay Scrub is really 3/18 shooting. Wasn't there some big hoo-hah about us being really tied to this guy last year? Everyone thought we were going to draft him.
 
Watford 5 assists to lead the team. I like having a playmaking forward. When he is in, it seems like guys get open 3's.
 
Probably Brown III to a two way and Beasley, Faried, and Mudiay to the roster.

Using the second two way on Brown would be a huge mistake. He would be an RFA after this season. Considering we traded a future second to get him, you want to sign him for as long and as cheap of a deal as possible. Even if that means dipping into the MLE to do it.

he was great a day ago. I’d rather have him than elleby.

Then it will be King probably on the 2 way and Brown and two of Beasley, Faried, and Mudiay on the roster

The second two way and the remaining roster spots don't have to come from the SL team. I've not been impressed with anyone except Brown. Beasley's decision making has been good, but I don't know if he's worth a roster spot.

Who else is Olshey going to get? Milsap will likely ring chase elsewhere. He's not going to have anyone left.

Might leave a space open

We only need to sign one more player, but I would hope he uses the full TPMLE on whoever it is so we have a salary filler to use during the season.

He’s gonna make a 2-1 trade or sign someone not named faried mudiay or Beasley.
 
As already as has been noted, several guys on this team are good enough and intriguing enough to fill the last couple of roster spots on the regular team. There even are roles they could easily fit.

Beasley actually plays almost the same game offensively as Melo now, but he might be a little better right under the basket. Three-level scorer, can do damage with his back to the basket when you have a team going small or want to slow pace. Except he's not going to dribble the air out of the ball like Melo and he's your ninth or tenth man, not your sixth or seventh.

Blakeney's scoring touch makes me wish we had a spot for him. TBH, I'm not sure if he might not be a better fit than McLemore. I like the Snell signing, but I still haven't quite understood picking up McLemore.

Brown looks like a player. So athletic, but he hasn't forced anything in summer league like so many young guys. Shot looks better mechanically than it did in college. I think he might really be the big beneficiary from playing with all the experienced guys.
