Very excited to watch Barnes. Let's see if we see immediate improvement on that jumper since he apparently changed aspects of his form.

Cant wait to see Barnes. But also keep in mind the summer league is filled with guys ball hogging and trying to prove themselves to get a camp invite. Barnes game likely won’t be best highlighted until he plays with the real team. Will still be worth watching for how his shot is looking at this current starting point
Also really looking forward to seeing Flynn. Remember he never had a summer league experience after getting drafted

I know it's not his nature but I want him to get his when he is playing...I want to see Barnes as a volume scorer and summer league is the perfect place for him to force the issue.

I hope so too. I wonder who’ll be coaching our summer league team. Whoever it is needs to make sure Barnes gets to run things

Remember when we had that run with Rawle Atkins and Giddy Potts in Summer League? Good times.
I thought those two would be NBA rotation players and the next set of undrafted studs found by the Raptors.

I was disappointed we didn't sign Rawle Alkins...
