NBA Summer League Las Vegas Thread VOL. Sacramento Kings Depending Champs!

[dmbrhs]

I know Vegas has started when ppl getting hype or doubting off 1 summer league game

And Clarkson should be dominating , it's his 2nd year ...same with my mans Lavine

Exactly. Second year guys should be dominating. Although, it's a really bad sign when they're NOT dominating. That's a red flag.

 

[Peep Game]

I'm crying at Thabeet being a D-League all star

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Time to see Tristan Thompson's soon-to-be replacement flourish...............................

 

[ny mavurs]

More than half the crowd left for this game

I'm just glad they put that game in Thomas & Mack. These dumb ***** put Wiggins-Jabari in Cox Pavilion last summer.

Did they just show Bazemore highlights as Draymond Green highlights?

Not necessarily

These are a bunch of average to below average players. A lot of these guys aren't built to play with marginal talent on this level. That is, they would look a lot better if the talent surrounding them was better.

 

[og lil nut]

A second year guy should stand out. You spent an entire year against ELITE competition. That should make considerably better against a field of talent that didn't.

Look at McAdoo out there now...he looks a step ahead of everyone on the floor and he sat on the Warriors bench all season.

 

[frshstunna]

Yea it's basically like a known fact by now that summer league veterans should be ballin ...doesn't mean anything but u expect em to look better than everybody else

 

[keel252]

Randle is so much buttcheecks, kid looked terrible

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Randle sucks . You'd think he would be able to sit out a year and just light it up. Dude is buns

 

[osh kosh bosh]

The numbers have been proven to be pretty much meaningless for 2nd year players and veterans.

cant be said enough

 

[qstorm3]

Couldn't the Cavs have one decent PG on their summer league roster?? Only players who should make a team next year are Rakeem Christmas and Jerrelle Benimon. Never been that impressed with Joe Harris.

Is it possible that basketball is more than just numbers?

 

[awwsome]

Randle doesn't light it up in his first game back after a broken leg and he's trash.

Who looked good? I'm here at work

 

[rook]

Seth Curry will actually be a role player off the bench for a squad this year. Seeing his big bro had to light a fire in him.

 

[og lil nut]

Who looked good? I'm here at work

Clarkson
Lavine
Seth Curry
KAT
Russell was up and down. So was Mudiay

In theory you would think this

However, some guys just flat out aren't good enough to "dominate" in a setting like this. It isn't easy getting off when you're expected to, but not good enough to do that.

 

[a-friend]

Who watches SL to see guys go off?

Means very little.

Some guys just need the run, get acclimated

 

[wavycrocket]

Not to overreact.

But remember in the draft thread when I said Randle couldn't go right, can't shoot, can't finish over length, can't play D and over dribbles...,.

Yall we're saying I was crazy. He has REAL holes in his game

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

You're crazy. He's perfectly capable of going right. He does need to work on finishing with the right. Payne is 6'10 with a 7'4 wingspan, finished in his face. Defense needs work but towns couldn't post him up, too strong. Didn't see him over dribble but it did seem like guys were sitting on his stutter step which he abuses and will have to go to his counter more often. I don't remember if it was towns or payne but there was one play where he broke him off and had him wobbling but airballed the jumper. The shot will come around. He was only cleared for 5 on 5 a month ago
