Joshua Primo – 11 points (3/8 shooting, 1/5 from 3PT, 4/4 FT), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 turnovers, 20 minutes
Primo made his Summer League debut by starting at the point guard position and running the teams offense throughout the game. Here were some observation notes.
Good defense on a possession contesting a layup attempt at the rim in the open court. The offensive player missed the shot.
Made a semi-contested catch-and-shoot three pointer.
Turnover in the pick-and-roll.
Looked comfortable running the point in the open court.
Good court vision on one specific drive. He drove baseline from the corner, got into the paint and and threw a one handed pass on the dribble to a 3-pointer shooter at the left wing three. This is not a common pass for rookies to be able to make.
Devin Vassell – 14 points (6/17 shooting, 0/4 from 3PT, 2/4 FT), 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 2 turnovers, 24 minutes
Even though it’s his second season, Tuesday was Vassell’s first Summer League game since there was no Summer League last year. Coach Johnson said the team wanted to see what Vassell could do with the ball in his hands at Summer League.
Here were some observation notes on Vassell’s game:
Good defense when an opponent tried to drive by him. The opponent missed the shot.
Running the pick-and-roll, Vassell was able to get to his spot in the mid-range area for a shot attempt.
When he stopped his dribble in the halfcourt, he took a contested fall away shot.
Running pick-and-roll, he made a hard drive, then stopped in the mid-range area to take the shot.
Scored on a layup going 1-on-1 against his defender.
Joe Wieskamp – 5 points (2/8 shooting, 1/4 from 3PT), 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 23 minutes
Wieskamp played in his second Summer League game. He started on the wing alongside Primo and Vassell. Here were some observation notes on Wieskamp’s game:
Missed an open spot-up three that he got wide open. The Spurs moved the ball well on the possession to find Wieskamp wide open on the possession.
Missed an elbow jumper off a dribble hand off. Though he missed, it was a wide open shot for him. The defender got stuck when the dribble hand off was delivered by the big.
Made a 3-pointer off a dribble hand off action near the 3-point line. The defender was too slow to get around the big and Wieskamp got a clean look at the shot.
Tried to drive in the open court against defenders in the paint and was blocked on the possession.
