Lonzo Ball looked fantastic tonight. Has that natural passing ability like Rubio and a unique scoring ability. Rebounding looks very impressive for a guard.

Jazz signed Thabo, Udoh and Jerebko in the last 2 days.

They are probably going to be the best defensive team in the league. The problem is, how they are going to score ?

Didn't you know? Ricky Rubio is apparently the cure to all ills. Utah will have the best offence with him in the fold.

He sure won't hurt at all.

He will late in close games...

Your opinion. I totally disagree.

Bummed that the Jazz got Udoh. I think he will be better than he was when he left the NBA. Really wanted us to sign him, nice pick up.

Jonathon Simmons is a UFA now after the Spurs renounced his rights. It'll be interesting to see what he gets now that so much of the money has dried up.

Spurs are still hoping to sign him.

Summer league ratings are as good as regular season ratings right now. Crazy. I thought this was a really boring summer league too. Huge part because our guy didn't play but a lot of the big names have been held back, taken out of games, and it annoys me.

I agree with you on Udoh. I think he might be pretty good. Jerebko isn't very good. Utah won't score and they will be far worse this year than last.

Ok... Ball is looking legit. Better than I thought if he keeps this up.

Kuzma looks like he could be very good in the league too. Not sure about Caruso in the NBA, but he seems like a solid bench piece at least.

I was hoping the Wolves would try to get Antonio Blakeney on the summer league team. I hope the try getting him again, but there will probably be some rebuilding team that signs him and gives him a better opportunity for game time.

Shabazz is now being said to have interest from several teams including Nets, Knicks, Magic, Hawks, and Bucks. Good for him!

Summer league is hype, nothing more. Don't bother thinking anything that happens there extrapolates to the nba.

Frank Ntilikina better be good, if not, the Knicks are going to regret not taking DSJ.
