The coaches have their work cut out for them, Queen will have to learn or ride the pine, Fears had tunnel vision and wasn't looking to pass from what I saw. Early going, these kids will have to play in the G League.

Terrence Shannon was NASTY

Joan Berringer surprised me, swatting 7 shots and good instincts with his rim protection, Minny may have gotten a steal.

That is the guy that I, along with some others ,was hoping to get at 18. Just like the previous draft when I was hoping for Ware at 14.

Not to worry though guys like that are consistently available outside the top 10.

Beringer is a significantly better prospect than Queen. That trade up is going to look really bad for NOP.

IF Queen becomes an allstar in his first two season, Dawkins should be fired.
Build your team w/5 shooters using P. Pierce Form deeply bent hips and lower back arch at same time b4 rising into shot. Elbow never pointing to the ground! Good teams have an engine player that shoot volume (2000 full season) at 50 percent.Large Hands

Watching him, Baby Jokic is actually the best fit.

I think both are going to be fine, I would love to have either instead of Wiley :-?

Even OKC's SL team plays like a well-oiled machine, they have a helluva system

I have no idea why I’m watching this, but an OKC player just scored a layup on his own basket. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that.

I still don’t know if he can defend because Summer League offenses don’t hunt people, but he is getting a few steals in the passing lanes.


Felt like a huge steal where OKC got him, was annoyed we didn't get a chance at him, OKC just keeps getting steals like this which probably pushes their window out a bit further.

Topic has incredible court vision. He’s going to be really good when surrounded by NBA talent.

shouldn't have drafted dairy queen? Where's the clip where he tries to bring the ball up himself for no reason and turns into a 2 on zero layup for the other team?

Queen isn’t going to be a star in this league. :lol: That would’ve been an Ernie draft pick special.

I've never seen a 7 footer handle the ball like Wolf does, he only scored 4 points, but he knows how to do all the little things and he plays smart, he is going to be a good role player.

Today probably isn't the right time to mention that.

0-5 from the field, 2 assists and 4 turnovers.

Wolf looked really bad today. Demin and Traore were impressive. Topic looked like a 10 year veteran starting NBA point guard, too good for Summer League.

Ready to see the Wiz squad.
