Game Thread: Summer League Game 1 - ORL v DET

[jonbob17]

Well that was fun. Thought Black showed some really nice passes...had some pretty bad turnovers. Overall pretty good...played within the game mostly, outside the turnovers. Howard looked ok on ball...i dont know about the other side. Houstan's stroke just looks so pure and quick. He just disappears outside of that. not really a great match up against Duren and Wiseman. Just doesnt seem like was even close to a rebound.

Kevon looked good...plays hard...nice physicality.

Looking forward to all these guys getting more reps

Jett showed a lot I liked actually.

Areas of improvement: Inside finishing/burst, defensive lapses

Jett has those Andrew Nicholson looking cement legs. He just plods. But he has craft to still stay in control. I was really impressed with his ability to find others. 2/5 from 3 is exactly what we need from him, everything else is bonus.

I'm ready for some highlights.

So what did we think?

Dumbazz strategy, why go small? I don't ever want to see this lineup ever again... Caleb at the 4? Stop it... All it did is just give them all kinds of second and 3rd opportunites because you got Caleb trying to fight for a rebound against Wiseman and duren... AB looked good, not worried about the turnovers rookies will do that, I liked his poise and control for the most part...

Jett was doing too much imo, his role should've been simplified to just shooting... He made some nice passes though.... Kevon was cool but I don't really care that much as he won't really be playing at all.....its summer league so I guess it doesn't matter but my thing is.....youre already here why not just try to win? That lineup from the start had L written all over it.

Black finishing with the positive plus-minus. Love to see it. Jett did not impress me at all. His handle is more flash than substance, his IQ is low. All good though, the promise is there.

I'm glad we took Black over Keyonte

Traitor....

BTW shouldn't it be over Jett?

I would imagine Black will get to the hole more when he isn't up against 2 center lineups.

As i mentioned, I saw in less than a 5mins span that Black got stripped 3x. Think he needs to tighten those handles.

His handle looked loose ngl, definitely something for him to tighten up. Not bad by any means, not Suggs level, but still its an area where he can improve.

I don't think he is really that scared against tall frontcourt players seeing as he is around 6'7. Notice on his basket when I think Duren/Wiseman??? was there waiting for him but he took it to the hole anyway.

It's good he can practice against Suggs all the time then, iron sharpens iron

Black won the head to head matcup with Ivey. Ivey's two years older.

It looked like he picked his spots.

Yeah.. Suggs gonna be extra motivated thinking Black might replace him. He is gonna embarrass the rook lol

Interesting I thought the opposite, his iq I thought was good on most of his reads... His defense was actually better than what I expected but then again I had low expectations defensively for jett.... I did like the one move off the dribble he made to get to the rim but he missed the layup but it was a good move, decisive and with purpose.... What I didn't like was the times he was dribbling aimlessly......that can be cleaned up though
