Do we actually have a center on our SL roster?

I know right. He seems to know when and where to pass.

Although I haven't seen his ballhandling skills

Kevon had an outstanding 1st half

Kevon is just to damn good on defense to score on one on one.

This is what happens when you play small ball, DJ Wilson and a bunch of small forwards and guards.... No surprise we can't get a board to save our lives.

Amen looked better than Ausar… but Ausar isn’t getting many touches.

Another elite defensive possession for Kevon.

Looks like it's more about getting reps for the guys we want to get reps than actually matching up to win in Summer League, which is fair.

Maybe they feel like of the "bigs" we do have, Wilson simulates Wendell's playstyle the most?

Well, part of it is he sucks. But…

We also use set rotations since 2 summer leagues ago.

Giving everybody equal chance. These guys likely wont play the second half Of summer league.

Last year our starters only played 2.5 of the games. They stopped playing after the first half of the 3rd game. Not sure aboout the others.

He’s really going to have to come with something to prove and show out at this rate.

Yeah, completely agree. He has to massively improve next season to stay.

Ausar is a little passive too.

His personality shows it too

He's going to get his chance just by way of how things tend to go for us. Usually we switch up the lineups after another game or so

I’m half drunk at a bar watching the game so I’ll need to rewatch later.

BUT …

AB’s handles and poise jump out to me. The kid has control of the game and doesn’t seem rattled. I like it.

I have no clue how Detroit expects Cade, Ivey, and Ausar to work together.
