OT Vegas Summer League 2023

[Sheldon Shape]

Brandon Miller looked like the dude you wish you hadn’t drafted over Scoot today.

Which means he’s batting .500 if you give that first outing a check mark.

And to think some people wanted us to take him over Scoot. LMAO.

Air Jordan strikes again.

 

[DDolla]

Can’t wait for Scoot and the Blazers first game

 

[James lamphear]

I think some you guys making to much what somebody does in these games. What I have seen so far is the ones that had at least a year playing in the NBA is kind dominant the younger college kids and that supposed to happen.

I think Miller will look just fine with a real PG in Lamelo Ball. He's going to get a lot of great looks with Lamelo running the show.

 

[Kell]

Miller will be fine, I remember Nic Batum being bad most of his first summer league and he was a solid starter in year one

Turned on the game and saw Keegan Murray at the free-throw line.
Thought the Trail Blazers were playing for a moment.

[blazerfan11]

YES!!!!
We saw one of those per game last season.

If we don't win the chip again, I'm gonna be disappointed.

Jovic is showing out...Need to get this deal done.

And not fair to compare, but if Kris is anywhere close to Keegan, he could be a steal.

 

[blazerfan11]

Jovic is really pushing the pace when he gets the ball.

 

[blazerfan11]

Keegan Murray is looking great shooting the 3-ball. I hope his brother can do that for us.

Near the hotel is Sparks Nevada.

Jovic started the game 1-5, and finished 6-13, and 3-5 from 3, and 22 pts.

Badji with the effortless left-handed dunk. Nice to see him finish with the off hand so easily.

Jovi started the game 1-5, and finished 6-13, and 3-5 from 3, and 22 pts.

Jaquez did not have a good game

1-6 and 4 points

Love seeing Sharpe with the floater. If he masters that along with all his other shots he will be extremely difficult to stop.

 

[HailBlazers]

Really sad to me Dame won't be there supporting these young guns.

Totally. Great shot for him to develop. Old CJ has a mean mean floater.

For the Summer League games I'll be staying in HENDERSON!

Does Sharpe have a floater now? Wow.

 

[blazerfan11]

Me too.

I am watching the game between G league ignite and metropolitans 92 on YouTube.

Scoot is so fast. He has no trouble catching passes and playing off the ball.

it looks like he's going have a lot more versatility as an off the ball scorer than CJ McCollum, or Anfernee Simons. Defenses can't keep up with him.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

He's a 2 - 4, not a 5, according to him.

Getting close to time for a Game Thread.....

Summer League is fun to watch, but making projections off of the play during Vegas is not accurate. I expect our team to be very entertaining, however.

I agree to an extent. For example, Brandon Miller only got 4 shots off yesterday. That's not his fault. That's a bunch of shitty scrub guards who don't pass the ball. It's historically very hard for big men to do anything in summer league because they don't get the ball.

But I think you can watch how they defend, you can watch to see how they read the defense and pass the ball, you can watch if their moves on offense are successful. If a guy can't get past dudes in summer league, it's unlikely those same moves are going to work against starters in the NBA. Keegan Murray was clearly the best player on the floor yesterday. Head and shoulders better than anyone else. Jovic has a really nice shot, and I like how he reads the floor, but when he tries to drive he just really doesn't have the speed or size to impose his will. He also doesn't sniff rebounds because he just floats around the three point line. I don't think that will change.

Casey had a great interview with Sharpe. Prolly the most I've heard from Shaedon ever.
