Big game for a lot of guys.

Huff, Moon, Rhoden (and everyone else, but those three seem the most likely) still in the mix for two-way slots.

Maledon, Culver and Brown in the mix for training camp contracts and perhaps spots in Osceola.

Maledon gets the starting slot over Moon.

I thought neither Maledon nor Huff qualified for 2 ways...

Did i get that wrong?

This is our last summer game, right? We're out of any sort of "playoffs"?

NBA teams: Sit guys out of organized/supervised summer league.

Also NBA teams: Allow young talent to play Pro/Am games in dusty ass high school gyms with a bunch of random dudes.

Yes

I went through summer league data and created a composite ranking for all participates. Here is how I'd rank our players:

35. Tristan Da Silva
54. Anthony Black
84. Jett Howard
92. Jay Huff
100. Theo Maledon
113. Jarrett Culver
191. Kaiser Gates
207. Jared Rhoden
208. Xavier Moon
224. Charlie Brown Jr.
240. Tre Scott
266. Charles Bediako
275. Myron Gardner
300. Ta'Lon Cooper
372. Bryson Williams
382. Isaiah Todd

Here are the top 10 overall.

1. Julian Strawther
2. Brandin Podziemski
3. Daishen Nix
4. Scotty Pippen Jr.
5. Jaime Jaquez Jr.
6. Cam Whitmore

what is the point of summer league if you're resting people. these guys need reps they wont get in practice, if they want to stand a chance cracking rotation.

You've got me. I don't really understand our summer league strategy.

Think we are just being precautionary on those three for better or worse.

These group of players today sure aren't playing like they want a chance at the NBA.

We usually get like 2 games so 3 was lucky lol.

Most teams treat it pretty cautiously. It's not really mimicking much of the game or roles they'll play, and I think we saw all we wanted out of TDS. I would've played Jett today just cause it'd be fun to see him score 30.

Theo Maledon is pretty nice

I take that back now

It's getting fun

Moon sucks
