No Jett is not at all surprising to me. I don't know exactly how that rumor started that he was playing. Third-year guys very rarely go to Summer League.

Things I'm looking for:

Richardson showing an assist-to-turnover ratio above 2.0

Penda holding opponents below 0.9 points per possession on switches

One wing (Moore, Williams, or Davis) hitting at least 38 percent on five threes per game

A center flashing rim protection without fouling (Kelley, Bingham, or Kidd below 5.5 fouls per 36 minutes)

TDS was our best player last summer and has nothing to prove IMO

Third year? I thought last year was "basically his rookie year" since he spent the season prior in the G League :wink:

Is Nate Santos the replacement for Caleb?

Probably not getting a roster spot, but he could be a two-way guy with a good showing.

There’s 15 guys on this team who could end up with two-way contracts if they play great in Vegas.

Any notable ones added?

Jett needs summer league more than TDS does.

TDS just needs to get stronger.

Wendell Moore Jr. is the most notable name on the SL roster. Former first round pick. Is only 23 years old still. Just hasn’t panned out at the NBA level yet.

Jett not being on that list does make me think that he won't be here next season and that he ll either be dumped or stretched

Quick reminder that we past on Lively, Hawkins, Dick, and George.

Bobby Marks has called Weltman out a couple of times for the Jett pick. He said you need to hit on that pick.

I guess if there is a bright side it’s that Hawkins, Dick and George are all awful as well.

With a .539 TS% on a 17-win team.

When you’re playing on a team that’s tanking and they let you have a 24 USG%, it’s actually really easy to put up what appear to be decent counting stats that don’t mean literally anything.
