Four. It's why I am targeting a minimum of a 10-point win, looking at the teams still undefeated right now.

Re: 2025 Summer League
That may have been the worst coast to coast drive that ever resulted in a score. Miller time.

Well you're getting more than that. We pulled away big time in the closing minutes.

Re: 2025 Summer League
Jed with a team high +21 is crazy to me. I didn’t check the box till the end, and that was the biggest surprise.
JB showed his weakest aspect of his game. The thing they need to help him develop is the defense against the downhill drive. Most of his fouls came off the drive or adjusting to the pass after it. This is not a criticism, just an observation.
Dilly going 7 of 17 from the field for 16 points puts him at 17 of 46 for 46 points. Dilly is shooting 36.96% from the field and 35.29% from 2. Dilly also had 4 ASTs and 4 TOs in this game. He is now at 19/13 AST/TO or 1.46 assists per turnover.
If I was HC I would move Clark to 13th man based on his performance thus far. He might climb back up, but he looked bad in all 3 games IMO.

Re: 2025 Summer League
Has anybody input the data into the Supercomputer yet to determine what we need to do to advance? Will 4-0 be a sure thing? 3-1 have a decent chance?

We need all the undefeated teams to play before we know.

Re: 2025 Summer League
One thing that seems likely based on what I've seen so far in Summer league is that Shannon is going to get most if not all of NAW's minutes to start next season. It's far less clear how Dillingham and Clark are going to carve out playing time if everyone is healthy.

There are 6, 3-0 teams right now, with 2, 2-0 team yet to play. 3-1 likely is an automatic out.

I think Clark is the hardest argument for minutes. TSJ has run circles around him. Finch said the rotation will be 9 or 10 deep. If you look at positions of need, 9 should be JB, and 10 should be Dilly. Then again, Dilly looks like he would struggle in Iowa, so maybe start him there?

Wow undefeated just to have a shot. Well we better trounce our next opponent. Is it just point differential or do we get extra credit for beating a 2-0 team?

There's going to be 6-8 teams with a 3-0 record after today, so there's a fairly good chance it will take a 4-0 record to make the final four. Right now I believe we are 3rd based on point differential, so If Shannon continues to play I would bet on the Wolves making the semi-finals.

If Dilly isn’t ready for 20+ minutes we better find a way to pull a rabbit out of our hat … mike is a 10-15 minute vet moving forward.

This is goofy. They got some kind of points system and Detroit has 8 points to our 6.5. They are in 2nd and we are in 9th.

I suspect Mike can pull of 20-25, but maybe not at the level we want.

Looking at the tie breaker rules, it seems that point differential is the deciding stat.

After H2H which is the first tie breaker, but since only undefeated teams will get it yeah it point differential.
