I hope so...otherwise it would mean we really F up this draft. Lol
Maybe, we still got paolo and Franz so...... We got some margin for error

True but I was talking about F-ing up this highly anticipated draft. I mean don't get me wrong, maybe the Paolo class and Franz class might totally dwarf this draft class in success down the line, but this would have been the perfect time to get the pieces needed around Paolo and Franz CHEAPLY.

They both showed really nice flashes, and showed obvious flaws (or else they would've been top picks).

It's funny when ppl freak out at everything though.. RealGM has the SL stats that go back a lot of years.. people would be AMAZED at the players that played the best and who were meh/struggled and there's so many names at the top that just became nothing in the league

Maybe we did... we will see. I still believe we should have taken Hendricks for insurance on Paolo and Franz and George because we do need that confident logo 3pt shooter to open up the court even more for them.... time will tell.

Anthony Parker didn't do a very good job of finding G League talent, and the Osceola coach didn't show anything.

Wait...
You mean its really the job of tje GM to recruit players for SL?

I thought aside from your picks, you just put a pen and paper and let anyone sign in to play. No way you can make me believe those bums we saw were recruited.

I should've signed up

It seemed unorganized to me. They could've given everyone the heads up on how many games the lottery picks were playing. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth.

I’m glad it’s over. It feels like opportunities were missed in the draft to make this better. I will stay positive.

I'm really surprised that Parker didn't get this guy. He would've fit right in with this group.

I’m pretty confident the Magic would not field a summer league team if it wasn’t mandated by the NBA.

Clearly they do not see a lot of value in it.

Yup... i think they prefer to just signing any MICH players outright to the GL team rather than having tryouts in the SL lol

And-1

Orlando does love hosting such events though, as this is more Cash Considerations at work.

Black pretty much played true to all his scouted strengths and weaknesses. What about Jett?
