It's summer league. Most these dudes won't even sniff a roster.

Damn, that's pretty good. Maybe he can be as good as Summer League juggernaut Jason Maxiell.

I thought Bam had promise. Can't say I'm outraged however. Repeatedly I remarked they needed to draft a shooter and they took a reasonable shot at it.

I must admit he's showing things he didn't at U.K. Like a face up game but let's see when the regular season starts. It is just summer league but I haven't forgot you were wanting him.

If you want to be outraged about something real, it's only 1 summer league game but Donovan Mitchell has put 23pts, 2 boards, 5 assists and 3 steals while shooting 10/17 fg and 3/6 3pt in 25 mins

And that's why I've lost Confidence in SVG.
You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!

My man!

Not gonna bang on about it though.

Luke Kennard is a Piston and I'll support him until I have reason not to

It's crying over spilt milk at this point, but still another notch against SVG. Mitchell looks like he can play both sides of the ball. Really hoping once the dust settles Kennard is the better player

Though for what it's worth summer league literally means nothing. No conclusions can be drawn about anything or anybody just based on anything happening right now.

It's not quite that bad but agree SL performances should be taken with a grain of salt

In my mind drafting Mitchell means we don't sign Galloway and therefore aren't looking at the hard cap...

But SVG probably would have signed him anyway
