Damion James looks like Lebron James out there but Favors is a complete disaster. Worst player on the team. Is this commen and im reading to mcuh into it or is he more raw then w all thought. It's clear he's not ready to start this year.

Take if from a Hawk fan, Al Horford's rookie season he played in the Summer League and got outplayed by Sheldon Williams our bust from the season before. You see what i mean??
I have seen guys tare up the Summer League and when the Real Season begins they look like a D-League reject.

A lot of players have trouble playing in the summer league. For some it's a rude awaking. Don't read too much into it.

Big men especially tend to struggle in summer league. Summer league is mostly about individuals trying to make a name for themselves & latch on to a team. Like in allstar games, it tends to have guards dominating the ball.
