I remember last year we had a pretty decent thread going for summer league.

Of course last year our big FA signing was Calvin Booth.....

Anyway the Las Vegas Summer League starts today. We are playing against the Warriors at 4 ET.

We're not going to be on TV but there is a NBA web telecast.

I look forward to seeing how speights, young, smith, gordon, and caroll are doing.

Im pretty curious to see how Young handles being the go-to guy. Last year alot of his scoring was on putbacks and hustles plays I'd like to see him hit a few from deep.

Jason Smith also attempted a few 3 pointers last year. Maybe he has improved into a reliable threat?

From what I've read Gordon is pretty good. Maybe he can make the team if noone else is acquired. Although can he shoot?

Hopefully Pat Caroll can make it in the NBA like his brother did.

I forgot about Edin Bavcic and Jawann McClellan. Anyone else worth paying attention to?

I think Young is going to absolutely light up Summer league with Lou not there this year to possess the ball. Also interested to see how Gordon pans out and if Smith can dominate a bit.

I would be interested to see how Callistus Eziukwu performs - we brought him in to workout twice pre-draft, and the measurements seem intriguing. We could always use a project big man with Herb Hill too busy drinking and driving.

He isn't a great shooter. His main strengths are size, strength, rebounding, passing, defense, and driving to the hole. His main weaknesses are turnovers, shooting, and decision making.

He's an average FT shooter but he usually hits them in clutch situations.

haha i had high hopes for Hill after his summer league last year.
what a letdown

sorry double post

Is Louis Williams going to have his number retired before the game?

Haha

Lou had a pretty good summer league career but lets be honest hes no John Salmons.

Thad scores first basket... I think. It keeps freezing and I can't see much. Can't even tell who's on the court.

Nevermind it was Gordon.

Nice f'n move by Thad.

It keeps freezing on me too. The streaming has been garbage so far.

Keeps freezing, I stopped watching. Couldn't take it anymore.
