Summer League Thread Part 3: Aug 11 GS @8pm TSN 4

[vado]

Clearly all our prospects are busts

[supra2k8]

Barnes went 2/8 but at least he got to the line and wasn't horrible either, 8/12 is alright, 13pts 8rbs on a bad night alright too

[B-Ball Freak]

Some people here being old enough to remember wade in summer league but post like a reactionary 10 year old is worrying

Right?

[Blacklash2k4]

-barnes looks huge out there, surprised how long and large he looked next to kuminga
-barnes offense obviously work in progress, but his playmaking instincts are really encouraging. mentally seems very strong, aggressive even after some embarrassing attempts, looks to make the right play (whereas kuminga literally looked to shoot every time he touched the ball) shot will come around, touch around the rim and finishing could take longer to develop
-strong defensively, quick feet but oddly slow laterally, even then didnt get blown by often and used length effectively
-Not necessarily explosive but very strong and fast when he builds up some speed, very quick second jump
-flynn got ate by gary payton II, will still struggle to create space without a screen

Good to see fair assessment of the game and not stupid reactionary takes! Thank you for your take!

can anyone please explain to me why people are so down on Barnes for real?? He showed great flashes of on ball creation, took a nice smooth fadeaway, drew a ton of fouls and made some nice passes. I truly dont see why people are so down on todays performance

I was mostly disappointed that we didn't let him get more reps bringing the ball up the floor and initiating more.

[simple_jack]

I thought I was the only one who noticed that was weird, dudes been watching for close 20 years but he's determining how good a kids gonna be after ONE AND HALF summer league games.

No I’m not. I have no idea how good he’ll actually be but so far from my eye test I wish we picked Suggs.

Back in 03 I wanted Wade after SL

[_MidNight_]

How many assist is Flynn averaging so far?

[DonDoolie]

It's summer league I shouldn't be this mad lol but it's infuriating watching low iq basketball and point guards that don't pass. I'm sick and tired of players like that

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

Barnes should be taking 15+ shots every game in the summer league. This coach had this man sitting in 4-5 minute stretches and when he was actually put in the game nothing was run for him. The few times he had the ball the warriors couldn’t do anything except foul.

Maybe with it being a back-to-back, they wanted to be cautious. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play tomorrow. He tweaked his ankle during today's game.

He was able to get into the lane a bunch of times drawing 12 free throws for himself (which people were claiming he couldn't do). He missed a couple of bunnies but finishing at the rim has never been a concern for him. Made a 3. Rebounded. Was solid defensively.

"Bust!"

[Jadoogar]

Flynn trash, Kuminga amazing... numbers basically identical lol

i get what you're trying to say but flynn is 4 years older than kuminga

[lolwut]

This commentator his nuts is so hard on Kuminga and on how amazing he is stats wise but doesn't mention he has 6 Turnover, 18pts on 5-17 shooting

It's Mark Jones: a Toronto man who hates Canada and moved to Florida to be more American.

[DatHomieYouHaTe]

Barnes should be getting the ball everytime down the floor. Best and most talented playmaker/passer. it's not rocket science....

[Bruin]

A lot of those misses were fouls that didn’t get called too

8-12 from the line is pretty encouraging. That’s not bad at all. Already showing glimpses of improvement

[OAKLEY_2]

That's the kind of ball there was when there was no difference last year between the short non existent preseason and the first regular season games. It is just pick up right now. Am liking Banton. Scottie will be more than fine he is just burnt out from too many selfies. Johnson headed to 905. Gillespie played great. Flynn was Summer League TRoss ba-ad.

[tdotrep2]

i like barnes as the secondary ball handler on this team tho.

Its shoot holes in enough topics and one is bound to be correct once. So we have these negative Nancy's hoping players will fail, so at the end of the season they can boast about how they were right and the rest of us are a bunch of losers.

Still hung up on Suggs...can't seem to move on, I guess.

[Chandan]

I don't see the Barnes/Kawhi comparisons

even as a rookie every move kawhi made was rigid and deliberate. Barnes doesn't have the level of confidence in his movement, and thus doesn't assert similar level of strength.

[Raptors1991]

Flynn taking every shot he gets eh, let Scottie run the 1 next game lol
