I just want preseason to get here. Imo, as a fan, summer league isn't on my radar. It's just guys working on things so of course they are either gonna really suck or really get it. There's no in between. So no reason to watch. Again, imo.
 
After the first two games i was sure we were going 82-0 this year, but this has brought me back to reality.

It's going to be 0-82.

Terrible shooting aside, I thought this was Elleby's best game overall. He was more under control on offense. He looked like the tenacious all over the court Elleby we saw last season, only with better defensive awareness and really good defensive footwork. It appears working with Powell has helped him on that end of the court. But that shot. Oy vey

If he were Ben Simmons he’d have good reason for his hesitation. Unfortunately he is not Ben Simmons nor does he have the hesitancy.

his defensive tools are legit, but yeah that shot needs a complete overhaul. A slow and low release like that is never gonna work in the NBA. Nas had an ugly looking shot until he smoothed it out last season, so I guess there’s still hope, but I wouldn’t mind if they cut him or threw him into a trade either.
 
Honestly the only guy that’s truly impressed me has been Brown. I don’t think he’ll play as a rookie but I can see a scenario where he’s forced to play and holding his own.

Vets playing well against a bunch of youngins isn’t that impressive, and neither Beasley or Faried have stood out as much as they should. I think Mudiay has actually looked the best out of the three, but I’m not rushing to sign him either.

Totally agree Faried and Beasley should be dominating summer league. The very fact they aren’t is kind of telling the story.
 
So… no SL championship?

I was planning to buy a replica ring, but I guess I’ll spend that cash money elsewhere, FAMS!
 
Whatever happened to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist? At this point Elleby is looking like a poor man's version.
 
I think Mudiay would be a decent backup but unless there is a trade I don't see Neil adding a backup PG. Yes, we could use one if Dame gets hurt, but right now that backup PG is not going to play with Dame, CJ, Norm, and ANT. We have more pressing issues for those last two spots.
 
Just watched the video of ROCO mic'd up at the summer league game. I wonder how long he will refer to CJE as Rook.
 
Do I lose any points for not watching any of the games really.
I've tried, but there is no reason. These aren't our Blazers. These players aren't going to be in our rotation or even on the roster. The only ones that have intrigued whatsoever, and could actually help us are the vets. And if our success is based on them, we are in a world of trouble. Let's start camp and get going.

If you don't watch the games, there is also no reason for you to post in a summer league thread :)

Are you going to be the guy who tells Elleby he's not one of our players? I want to see that on video!
