Re: Summer League
Just a reminder that summer league is typically brutal for bigs. Its disorganized with guys not used to playing together and guards fighting for a chance in the league tend to look for their shot first.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Even if Maluach gets 5/5 I am fine! I understand this.
I want to see Fleming drop 20 points tonight though!

Flemming is actually the type to really struggle in an environment like this since he has zero ability to create his own shot. Maybe the scrub suns guards will surprise us

Cooper Flagg is a fraud /s
SHAZAM!
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

I've only been watching since mid way through the second, but I'm liking Dunn's aggressiveness. His offensive game looks much better than last year (especially compared to summer league last year).
Brea looks great, prettiest shot in the league right now.
This is not the best platform for Maluach to showcase, especially going up against Sarr who is probably the most talented player from last year's draft class, but his mobility looks really good for a guy his size.

Moses Wood has been making plays. No clue who the guy is, but I feel like he's making an impact, despite his poor shooting so far.

Nice win against a lot of high draft picks. Dunn looks like a much better player than last Summer already. Love the energy that Oso plays with.
Brea can shoot the ball, love his shooting form. Maluach is definitely a work in progress, not a fan of how much he floated around outside of the paint but sounds like they want him to get some shots up. You can see flashes though.

maluach needs 2 years of NBA weights. Glad we got Williams cause he doesn’t look ready at this pointdarealjuice wrote:Nice win against a lot of high draft picks. Dunn looks like a much better player than last Summer already. Love the energy that Oso plays with.

Ryan Dunn looks "too good to be in Summer League".
Oso is the king of intangibles, he does so many small stuff on the court.
I love Brea's game. His 3p shooting is beautiful.
Maluach is an exciting player to watch. He was a bit nervous at the beginning but he played much better in the 2nd half. I really like his skillset and his demeanor.
And props to Collins. Good PG.

Maluach looked a step slow and a step out of breath. Definitely a work in progress

Playing basketball for only five years. He still has a lot of room for growth. One thing I notice was just his presence diverted drives and attacks on the rim.

Thought he did a great job of not backing down after a few plays didn't go his way. Came back with his head up and made plays.
