I would go --

Young/Morrow/Randolph/Griffin/Forbes (no point)

Honorable mention: George Hill, Jody Meeks, Johnny Flynn, Othyus Jeffers

not trying to be a homer, but provided Flynn performs up to expectations in our last game, I don't think Forbes gets the nod over him. At least I hope he doesn't.

Jennings isn't shooting well, but 3.6 steals and 8.2 assists, nice

Flynn is averaging 5.5 turnovers a game.

IMO Young, Randolph, Griffin are locks.

He certainly has some work to do before making additional comments about expecting to be a starter. I like the kid and am glad we have him, but I don't think he's been top 5 this summer... more like top 10.

Jennings has to be in the PG discussion. The man is killing it out there.

Keep in mind that I have only been able to watch two games, but from what I saw some of the turnovers were sort of in the category of "things you would probably only do in summer league". Like throwing an ally oop that isn't quite there, or try and make a play to entertain the crowd. I'm not trying to excuse all of his turnovers, or say they arn't a problem, but I wouldn't get too worked up about a higher turnover average from summer league games. It's like any other summer league statistic, you have to take it with a grain of salt.

I AGREE, BUT I THINK YOU STILL HAVE TO TAKE THEM INTO ACCOUNT IF YOU'RE PICKING THE BEST SUMMER LEAGUE TEAM PERFORMERS. ANOTHER STELLAR PERFORMANCE TODAY WOULD SEAL THE DEAL, BUT I HAVE A FEELING HE WILL NOT PLAY MUCH

Wow Flynn was just holding a trophy that said top rookie performer. Interesting...

OK, well after today he's not making it but at the time I made my statements, you also have to take into account the number of assists he had. He was (and still is) 3rd in assists in SL. Maybe Jennings over him because of steals, but he also shot a much lower FG% throughout SL than Flynn. Forbes didn't bring that much to the table statistically outside of scoring.
