MB just tried to go full Kobe to himself off the glass.
Almost threw it down too.
Was a nasty exhibition of functional athleticism.

Re: Summer League Thread
Graham - What I liked in SL:
His poise and patience was fantastic.
Really got the team going an into their sets.
Pushed the pace, at the right pace, when it was there to be pushed.
Made some highlight reel passes.
Graham - What I didn't like in SL:
His shot wasn't falling - that said, he didn't take bad shots.
He has no left hand when driving.
Monk - What I liked in SL:
Shot selection - he didn't just bomb 3's.
That purple patch in his 1st qtr!!
Ball wasn't as sticky in his hands - moved it more quickly.
Monk - What I didn't like in SL:
Dude - stay healthy and stop teasing us!
Bacon - What I liked in SL:
Got better as SL went on. Really didn't like his first few games.
Did a good job attacking the rack by using his size and strength.
His mid range game is quite nice - and Gerald Henderson like.
Bacon - What I didn't like in SL:
I know it's SL and most players are just out to get their own, but I didn't feel that Bacon did much to make anyone else better and really just got his.
Bridges - What I liked in SL:
Contributed in so many ways (scored a little, rebounded a lot, made passes, got steals, blocked shots).
Played fantastic one on one and P&R defense.
Showed how athletic he is on so many plays.
Good shot selection and looked to score in a variety of ways.
Played with a good controlled aggression.
Liked it when he bumped Atkins (Toronto) when walking back to the time out in a "don't F with me" kinda way.
Bridges - What I didn't like in SL:
Poor off ball defense caught him ball watching too much and not having his head on a swivel.
Seemed a little heavy footed getting up and down the court at times.
Couldn't make his J's.
Played more if a complimentary role. Would have liked him to take the lead and be the #1 option (might be coaches orders though).
Hernangomez - What I liked in SL:
Added a pretty nice looking 3pt shot.
Effective in close.
Pulled down a lot of offensive rebounds.
Hernangomez - What I didn't like in SL:
Really not very athletic.
Has a bit of the "Brooke Lopez's" about him (eg: if he gets it, he's going to try and score it and not look to pass it).
A little soft.
The others:
Macura = Ran around a lot and worked hard. Nothing special though.
Kulboka = Looks to have some nice length and touch. Super skinny though.
Mathiang = Was terrible. So, so, so bad.

Spot on
Bridges
+Looks a little like a young, raw SF version of westbrook, at times
+Swag
-Lack of length noticeable in pain, despite some blocks
-Didn't like the fadeaways, not good shots
-Was hoping to see more playmaking
